I put a cheapo knockoff lip on mine after i got a bit of curb rash on it, now I don't see it, and the cheap knockoff lip can take the hits if it happens again.

Just keep in mind the lip will cover the damage but also make the front end lower so you have to be even more careful not to damage your new lip.

Just strip all of the paint off of the front bumper and tell people you were going for the RC Spec look.

I wish they offered that here, I'd rock it!

Just get a set of wheel tire and you are done.
