Default Front Lip Protector?

Does anyone know, or use any front lip protection?
It hurts whenever the front scrapes the ground

Exactly why I have an All-Fit Lip. The $35 lip is protecting the car, I don't care if I scrape it. If you are lowered, scraping the underside of the lip is pretty much inevitable.

Thanks Bob.
I might give All-fit a try.
Do you have to screw it into your bumper?

Is Ezlip also another option?

I've had both and the All-Fit Lip is much more durable (much much more!)

However, EZ-Lip seems to have this new EZ-Lip pro thing that's supposed to be more durable than their last iteration. I haven't had a chance to try that one out. Though it looks kind of dumb being its almost 2 inches in width it would add (which is too big IMO)

use all all-fit like he said! The glue is strong enough to stick on the lip/bumper. Some people put the screws. I only put screws on the side.

Exactly like everyone said All Fit is much more durable than EZ lip. Also id recommend putting at least a few screws in like Glock. Also before i installed the lip i tested what the damage from the screws would look like and the holes on the underside of the car aren't going to be noticeable (unless you are specifically looking for them) or throw up any red flags upon turn in.

I used to have a BMW 6 series that was much lower that I scraped often. I never noticed any damage, aren't they designed to take some scraping?

Our unique material is manufactured to protect from such curbs and scrapes. Most lip kits are not meant for this
