That does stink. I was doing so well with my OEM lip and now I have some rash from a curb. Is debris in the road your most common issue?

Nah. Mostly my driving style...

But for this incident, I was unable to dodge the tire due to other traffic on the road. I hit the tire head on, and I knew I wasn't gonna be happy.
