Rhino liner. Front splitter
So I have a amuse front diffuser and besides raising my car I was thinking of getting the bottom of it rhino lined for added protection
Can any of you guys think of the pro to cons with this. Any added protection? Or a waste of money. I know if I hit anything hard enough it's gone. Either way but as far as road wear resistantense against the usual scrapes ect?

Concrete is a pretty non-forgiving surface to scrape on... I can see it helping a bit, but even then I think eventually you'll scrape through the Rhino Liner into the front lip...

It will last a scrape or two. If your that concerned buy a bondo pallet (or something like it, sheet teflon/plastic) and build a couple of rub strips that will touch down first.

I'm just worried mire about longevity more or less either way I know it won't last forever but if I can extent the life of my investment why not.

300zx had a textured rhino liner material for the purpose of rock chip deflection only. It was an option avail and was also present onthe rear front quarter fenders bottom.
I had it on mine. its just to fend off rock chips from traffic ahead of you and from your own front wheels.
I can assure you it perished immediately upon any contact to cement whatsoever.
It is a waste of money for what you are attempting to fix, which is rubbing.
Theres no fix to low fiberglass parts rubbing the ground aside from a 4 thousand dollar Robertuta cup kit and a fast hand on the switch.
Paint your car semi gloss black like me and you can walk out and spray trim black under your bumper every month and have it look brand new again.
Got a rock chip? Peel off a section of wrap and redo it.. done, brand new again.

I would still make rub strips for the bottem, but yes what Bmc said is very correct.
The lower part of my V2 bumper is probably just going to be vinyl, simple easy repairs.
