Default Wrecked Arkym lip. What to buy now?

Imagine the feeling "meeting" your ISF like this...

Now the question is, should I get Arkym again or is there any new nice CF-lip I have missed? Does anyone know if they (or another nice lip) are in stock somewhere? Would hate waiting months for a new one...

Ouch! That's pretty bad. I say if you like the Arkym look, go for it again. Toms is another CF route to take, as well as Lexon. But this was exactly why I didn't want a CF front lip. Are you planning to re-wrap the car again?

Someone backed into it

And yeah, the wrap makes fixing it all a bigger project unfortunately...

Thanks for all the tips!

^ LMAO at the last comment!

Hopefully your insurance could cover the damage to the lip? Do you have any full shots of your car with the Arkym kit? Just curious...

That's what I was thinking. I have damaged many CF lips, but they were all my fault. Backed over driveway curb, hit something in the road, dipped to low on an entryway in or out, etc.. I cannot imagine damage that low without your foglight or housing being damaged as well, scrapes on your bumper, no paint missing. Just seems weird. Doesn't look like that's what happened.

Looks like you slammed and might not have known it. There are some cracks and some buckling that suggests it was not another car.

I think Murph145 can help you find another. He's got the full Arkym kit.
