Default Protecting the front lip?

Any of you guys who are slammed have problems scraping the front lip? Im sure you do because our cars are pretty low in the front even stock. Just wondering if anyone uses anything on their front lip, to help with scraping and cracking, any strategies lol?

thanks

I put a home depot lip on it...when it gets all torn up, I'll just spend another $9.00 and get another one

i was thinking of that as well. but the lip will only help with the scratching i would think, because you can still crack the bumper just as easy.

wet sand and polish fixes it! It's part of the problem of having a front lip, part of the quirks of putting aftermarket parts on your car!

lol yeah, it really isnt even worth the effort trying to keep it pretty under there. But it doesn't matter, cuz the drop looks pretty in-and-of itself.

id say that is the most cost effective way to protect it. run you about $10 as stated above.

i bolted a piece of sheet metal in the middle to keep it from cracking any more, then sprayed rubber coating about an inch up across the bumper so it hides the shiny metal, and if it scrapes its metal not plastic scraping.
