Is your front lip minorly mangled?

Someone in the detailing forum suggested I post over here as well, so...

Thumbs up

I have a spare, but this is a good tip to keep them looking better longer

Good post, my car is low too, thankfully the lips are "reasonably priced" below $200 I believe so to me it's a replacement item.

yah, just replace it every 12-18 months or so. Couple hundy, and your front end looks brand new.

yep, every morning I scrape while coming out of the driveway. I take a straight blade once in awhile to trim the rubbings off. Just picked up the C4 front lip and will place that on next time to see if it helps with clearance.

Could you post a link to a $200 lip replacement? Are these OEM? Also I don't see an "after" pic either. Thanks

One of the files with a curved edge. Looks like a curved cone. It was yellowish in color.

You can just buy it at the dealer. Ask if they can give you a good price. I have a wholesale account at my local dealer and the lip was around $200.
