Endra, Ouch. Dawn and I could here your lip scraping on the drive back. Everytime we heard it we were like OUCH!!!!!

Those back roads were intense but we did have to dodge through some serious rocks, wood, etc. I hit some debree which actually hit my rim and did a little damage. Not bad though.

I would not get another if I were you. $1000 is way too much for a piece that can simply crack by either a big dip on the roads/driveaways. Save the new $1000 and put it into a stereo system for your car

imo no choice but to replace or remove on a beauty like yours ... can't keep a messed up piece like that on it.

OUCH, probably will happen again and its an expensive peice, I would leave it for now, maybe lightly sand down the edge to smooth it out if needed.

I broke it on the road... on the drive back, I scraped about 7 to 8 times on the roads and on the highway.

btw, do you know how much can you get the chin-guard for?
