well, just like the title says. My C-west cf lip that i just installed crack today 'cause i scraped the curve will parking my car. So pissed
, the bottom is cracked to the point that it could split up the lip into half. However, the area that's visible is also cracked in the same manner but only half way through the lip. My question is that is the crack gonna spread from daily driving? If not should i spend more time and money getting the C-west lip again, or I should just go with something a bit cheaper?
This is what i have in mind, if i don't go with C-west http://www.racerwheel.com/abv-03ns3502dvsp-011c.html
help me decide...

The lip is very different and depending on if you paint it, leave it all carbon, or a little of both, you get some pretty cool reactions. I've had mine for about 8 months now and one big close call. ( Ran over what I thought was a McDonalds bag.....yeah, it was a rock) It seems pretty darn durable though. I'm happy with it.
