Splitters on OEM bumper or Mtech?

I know EVERYBODY is gonna say mtech but I dont have the money for mtech yet.

I scraped my front bumper HARD and its very noticeable so im in need of a solution. If i get splitters it covers the scrape completely and adds a good look. But if I go Mtech than well, its Mtech , but its expensive.

So whats the cheapest pair of splitters painted for an oem bumper?

and whats the cheapest Mtech front bumper?

I hear ya kid.... I say splitter for now.. It a frugle mod.. And here's another little detail I like that I'm going to do....

I believe its the 07's and later where the lower grill finishing rod in the front lower grills are grey, as opposed to black.. you can get them here from Tischer:

ive got a BSM and the black finisher rods improve the look of the front. Add some CF (or BSM) OEM splitters (replicas can be had for mid 200's or buy a trashed pair and repaint) to finish the look.

joker i had the same debate but my philosophy is do it right the first time. And the mtech kit is just sick looking vs stock front w/ splitters. Do what im doing. Im saving up my pennies and then buying the full mtech kit. Thats my $.02, either way as long as ur happy with ur car F*** everyone else.
