Default Recommendations for a front spoiler, diffuser or Chin Split

Hello,

It looks like they are discontinuing the Tiger Shark front bumper which is highly disappointing. Mine was damaged, as a result I may have to return to the stock bumper and would like to find a front spoiler or Chin Split that looks good and is made of something flexible. The car sits low and fiberglass would not be good. Need something urethane or similar. Looking for recommendations. If you have one you like please post a picture. I like the ACI look, but don't want fiberglass. I like something similar to this picture:

Do you still run an air damn with the front splitter? How does it affect air flow to the radiator?

The Vortex is similar to the ACI, but about an inch shorter. I think it's made of ABS.
