Thinking out loud. . .
 
I have RCE Yellows in my garage that I plan to install soon.

But even with the car at normal height, I've scraped a few things here and there and had trouble with one particular driveway.

So I'm thinking with it lower, it might be nice to have something under the front end to keep it from getting further dinged up.

I'm thinking small, tasteful, front lip that extends back a little bit from the leading edge of the bumper. Also, since it will be down there getting the brunt of any road debris or scrapes that happen, it'd be best if it was inexpensive.

Does such a product exist? I've looked at front lips listed on EBay for under $100, but I'm concerned they will be total POS parts that I don't want on my car. I've also seen some listed online that look very nice but are $300 or more. Again, needs to be understated & tasteful (I'm 45 this year after all!), just a little something to keep from scraping paint.

Thoughts?

Not really a lip, but it sounds like you might be interested in this:

You want the extreme dimensions polyurethane lip.

Thanks for the ideas. These look like good places to start. I wouldn't mind something that does show a bit just not a big 6" splitter like a race car or something that changes the look drastically. I'm not opposed to it being black as my car is Argento with gun metal wheels.
