I had a polyurethane lip on the car I traded in for the Z. It was lowered and I scraped on everything but it survived well. Until I went to a car wash at the end of winter in Indiana and hit a ice chuck. I think because the polyurethane was so cold it cracked instead of flexing like usual.

I ran it over because w/e position i was in on the road i had no out. even if i slammed brakes the benz behind me would have been sitting on my lap. However he got it worse than i did once w/e i hit came off my bottom and ended up hitting his car as well.

tow hooks for both decor and use. but the one i use is not red though. i swap them up.

What mile marker? I was at 135 last week at night and saw a construction sign that was laid down in the street taking up 2 lanes. I swerved just in time but I know other cars definitely hit it

That's a beautifull lip..., in fact, one of the best I've seen.
Having said this...I'll be going to a urethane lip when the time comes...for the very reason you have shown here.

yeah, but the problem with urethane (which i have had before) is gives enough, but when it gets stuck it will rip off more then just itself. Luckily my FG lip broke away causing no extra damage to the OE bumper.

This is why I did not buy the 500+ veilside lips for situations like this. Instead, i got the amuse set for 500+ more than the lip.
