i'd recommend comptech, no difference between the two and the comptech is cheaper

no difference? umm.. big difference(unless something has changed that I didn't hear about).. the comptech uses 3M tape to stick it on, and only a couple screws.. the OEM lip bolts onto the front end in like 10 spots..

so yeah, the OEM costs more, but it's nicer.. if you're cheap, or don't care about 3M tape, use the comptech one..

Comptech is urethane, and the OEM is ABS plastic.

u choose.

i would just get the comptech one cuz it's cheaper and less chance of cracking it

I'd recommend getting the comptech due to the price.

I would recomend OEM, comptech or any urethane will chip/flake off eventually.

ONe of the other Texas boys on here has the Comptech I think, that is what I'm basing this information on.
