The front lip needs to be mounted to a rigid part of the car, a front lip catching air and pulling down on a flexible urethane bumper is not ideal.
A good middle-ground for a DD is to use a front lip (like the STi lip) that just brings the front end lower. It won't really catch air and produce downforce per se but it will allow less air to pass under the car, creating a low pressure area under the car and essentially using the whole car as a spoiler. This combined with a rear spoiler (adjustable is best but they're big and silly looking on an otherwise stock car...you gotta be pretty nicely modified to pull off a park bench spoiler without looking like a tool) would get that thing planted.
Depending on what you're doing with the car and what kind of speeds you plan on hitting, you'll want to add more or less angle to the spoiler to tailor the downforce to meet your needs.
