Doesn't TechArt make that chin spoiler in fiberglass as well as carbon fiber?
What does the Type II scrape guard look like...any pics?

Sentipede - Techart does make this in fiberglass but I believe it will crack to...the price difference between carbon and fiberglass is only about 200-250!! The fiberglass one aint cheap!

I'd enjoyed the twisties back-roads, I think you should've asked everyone to come along for the drive back

... and I was supprised that there weren't too many cars ( about 10 ) on the other lane! Which is PERFECT!

lightly sand it, epoxy it with a couple of layers well done, go heavy with the applications on the nonvisible side, and wait for the next catastrophic event. If your nose were not flexible, say for example fiberglass aftermarket--everything could be MUCH worse. Good luck

btw, do you know how much can you get the chin-guard for?
I believe the front chin guard runs around 4-500...
Ask Arling (20 C4S), he'll get u a good price...

and why don't you install the custom scrape guard as I do?
I'll be re-painting my front bumper in about 2 weeks...
when they take them off, I'll ask them to draw the shape on the paper... then u can just tell any shop to cut it for u in either aluminum or etc... it'll be cheaper that way...

and no more scraping you need to worry about...hahaha

Where did you purchase the spoiler? What company?
Maybe they can put something harder, like metal, on the underside to prevent it from cracking in the future....

As I have the TA GTS w carbon lip coming, tell me, where you just driving and cracked it or did you hit something? I can't imagine bottoming out the front end enough to hit hard unless you are really on ups and downs (San Francisco). True? Is your car super low?

I think we should organize a group buy on the carbon lip - I'd like to buy a spare. Also I'd be interested in buying the smaller piece that fits in between the two "fangs".

the smaller piece between the fangs comes standard with the type II GT and type II.....We tried organizing a GB for the CF lip but id didnt work out as it was still expensive and not many wanna shell out 1 grand for a 'spare'
