Subtle front lip (BRZ)

I'm looking for something that is more of just a front underside protector more than a full lip (which will make the front lower and scrape even more). I am tired of scraping up my paint and I am not even lowered! Black plastic similar to the black plastic already on the car would be perfect and not show scratches as much.

Any ideas?

I installed the STi knockoff from ebay ($69 shipped) and it really didnt lower the front at all. It more or less is the same at the bottom and goes up from there. Yea it scrapes more than stock bc it sticks forward more, but I really don't care bc it was $69 and I can always repaint it flat black again. Plus the scratches that I've already put on it are way underneath it, so you cant even see them. Protects the bumper nicely, but you do have to drill new holes (not too noticeable if you pull it off)

Me too buddy. Made my first scratch on underside of front bumper testing how far I could pull my car to a curb while parking. I knew when to stop but pushed it and then scratch. I will be getting the protectors from the link provided in this thread for sure. It will save us future heartache.
