Front spoiler help

HI,
I want to change the front spoiler on me C4S and was looking at the Ruf 996 TT Spoiler (pic below), what do you guy's think of it because I'm torn between that and the Turbo spoiler.
Any other suggestions would be welcome, I don't want anything too radical.

I've always been partial towards splitters. But that's just me.

Do you have any suggestions on the splitters?

Champion Motorsports sells this. I'm sure you can find others at Carid or Pelican.

There are some pretty cool looking carbon fiber options out there, but they probably won't hold up well when scraping or hitting curbs. The front spoiler is a "disposable" item in my mind.

Thanks to all of you, your input was helpful and appriciated. I decided to go with the turbo lip and ordered it from GT3TEK along with the TK wing. I'll let you all know how they fit and the overall quality as this is the first time I've ordered anything from them, I hope it's good product.
I have a local custom shop that will paint both and install, pics will follow.
