Headlight work is always a good mod, keep in mind that its a permanent one...The plus side is not everyone on the block has modded lights, if you can do it yourself then you'll definetly save some coin in the process. Here is some examples of my set I just recently did.

^^^^ I want those! Very cool idea with the blue. May have to steal that when I do mine.

I am in the same boat and currently lining up to get my headlights done and a lip. I would definately second guess the Stillen lip unless you are going to try and fabricate something to keep it from sagging. The Evo-R lip is another less expensive alternative. Or look at some of the replicas...Top Secret, Mines, Ings+1 etc. Whichever one sets your pants on fire go with it.

Ings Replic on my car currently, Just sold my CF Shine lip. The only cheap way should be to buy a used one... Otherwise buys a decent one from a reputable dealer... Research will pay off. Here is examples of my lips.

I'm not one for all the fancy lights and halos and stuff, keep it simple in my opinion. Having been doing headlights for a while, I would have to agree that subtle changes make the most impact, and being able to to it yourself speaks volumes.
