Which front lips doesn't require drilling and/or uses OEM mounting holes?!?

Besides that beautiful Arkym SE front lip, which other one's doesn't require drilling holes into the front bumper? Or if I have to drill holes (into the lip, not the OEM bumper) then which one's? It'd be great if I can re-use the OEM nuts & bolts in the same mounting holes on the bumper. Would prefer not having to drill holes onto the lip but will do so if I have to however, I don't want to drill holes in the OEM bumper for sure. Rep or not, doesn't matter. Just checking all of my options. Pics & price? Thanks!

Challenge

I purchased the Challenge 1x1 Carbon Fiber Front lip for not only appearance, but also fitment. It comes with 3M double sided tape, as well as pre-drilled holes to fit as OEM part. Easy installation took me about 10 minutes and was able to do it by myself. Cost was $1,195 through IND

Thanks for the info! That looks nice & clean! I ended up ordering the Arkym SE carbon fiber front lip earlier today.

I have the Mode Carbon V1 GTS, fit and finish is excellent. The lip mounts to the OEM bumper holes and comes with 3m tape as well. It looks similar to the Challenge however more reasonably priced and much better ground clearance.
