Cheaper lower bumper guard?
 

I've been pricing for a guard to protect my FRS front bumper from scraping. Something to keep the road rash from developing, and modular? I see basically there's carbon fiber high price which is expensive to replace, or the garage door weather guard made into a cheap stick on type. Can anyone make one out of a medium rubber/hard plastic for up to $100?

Welp, I figure the more stuff you put under there, the lower it makes the bumper ..... and the more likely it is to scrape .......:popcorn:

Exactly. A lip will lower the bumper ~1", the Protek skid plates ~3/8". I opted to go with the skid plates, pricey $150. shipped, but it's an after market custom made part.

The skid plates are made from HD polyethylene plastic. If you decide on a lip go with a polyurethane one.

i have the same front lip,,,it will still scrape,,and those thing wont protect your front lip...
I think the meaning of front lip is prevent the damage done to the bumper...

i broke my front lip and rear apron after installed my coilover for few days.......

had the stickies before thinking It'd help but when I scrap it just took the sticky off. than I scrap the lip anyway.

i have no lip, i have many scrapes, I don't care because nobody can see and our bumpers are plastic...

ghetto style, grab those Quick lips tap it where you want and put screws into them at every corner with a Dewalt drill so they won't fall off because the tap won't stick. :thumbs:

I hope that's a joke or sarcasm because that makes no sense at all. if you broke your front lip AND your rear then you must not know how to drive a lowered car. I'm not hating on you, just making a valid assumption based on your comment and damage...

Regarding the skidplates, i've had protektskidplates on my RS1 for about 2 months now and it's protected it from many scrapes and my front lip is the same if not slightly lower than the one posted in this thread. So in regards to protecting my $2K+ front lip, i love my protektskidplates :burnrubber::thumbup:

It's just different point of perspective. You put skidplate to protect your "2k" front lip.

In my perspective,,putting a front lip is to help prevent bumper damage @@.
Who knows, maybe i will drive more careful when i receive my c west front lip @@.

Maybe you are right, i might not know how to drive a lowered car, but i like to drive the way i want @@ I dont like to baby sit my car protecting a "front lip". I think scraping bumper is unevitable to some road. I cant be careful 100% all the time and scare to scrape my front lip. I wouldnt worry about front lip too much because it is easy to replace than a bumper.

Just put some black Monstaliner on it from the crease down and touch up the scrapes as necessary.

This is exactly my plan this summer. I keep well away from curbs and bump stops but every once in a while I tackle a slopped laneway or speed bump jut a tad to fast and lightly scrape the bumper. Boxliner is incredibly tough and easy as hell to touch up. I figured a solid black line would look a whole lot better than orange with black marks.
