Default Carbon Fiber Durability?

I'm thinking of getting the K StyleKing lip kit in CF and I was wondering if the front lip is just a huge liability because of the potential to crack...i'll probably lower my car on hotchkis springs and sways...do you have to avoid every driveway and every speed bump, or is it not that big of a deal?...i guess this question is for any front lip...thanks

Don't run into things and you'll be fine. The lip should be able to take a bit of abuse

I've gotten used to driving lowered with kit. I have to go in drivways at an angle. I've gotten a few people pissed off because I was going so slow. But the key is patience. Sometimes I have to go the 'long' way around to get in a less steep drivway or an area I know there are no really steep speed bumps. But when I get out of my car and look at how sweet it looks, it is definitely worth it.
