How thick is the material? Ive had some chargespeed CF sideskirts on one of my other cars before and it wasnt all that thick, so they cracked

the pieces aren't very thick, but they sure are stiff as hell. I dont foresee an issue unless I hit something.

...my biggest concern is for the front lip, since I'm lowered. However, my last car was lowered as well, so Im in the habit of going sideways into driveways and such. You should see the look on my wife's face when I do this in our suv haha.

When I first had the sideskirts on, I kicked them a few times getting out of the car and they didnt budge/more/crack or creak. And the way they attach to the car, you would hit the undercarriage before hitting the sideskirt if you drove over something too tall.

The spoiler is pretty thick, so I only think it will crack if I flip the car or something lol. When I was doing some test fitting, I used some 3m tape on one side of the spoiler, and when I went to pull it off I had to use a lot of force. The damn thing didnt even flex haha.

Is the spoiler held in just by 3m, or bolts also? How was the fitment? Thanks

Spoiler is held on VERY securely with 3m tape. Fitment was pretty good, but I did spend time sanding down a few parts to make sure that it was perfectly flush. Pretty easy, just took time sanding, test fitting and sanding.

Tip: I put blue painters tape on my trunk though, to keep it from being scratched during the test fitment.

The spoiler looks a lot like the TRD spoiler but angled up higher. I dig it. Wish they came painted though.
