Will a lip kit cover a hole
Hey guys last night I was on top of a small piece of wood that was being used as a ramp. Well when I backed up the wood went up a ripped the bottom of my front bumper. Can't see it but it's a big enough hole. I was wondering if a lip kit would cover it?

Is the hole in the middle of the bumper?
Is the surface where the hole went through flat?
Or,did the hole make the edges buckle up?
If the edges have a buckle,I'd think you would have to cut
the bumper around the hole to make the surface flat
so when you install the lip it will fit flush.
Not a big deal.
Another thought,if the hole is just in the lower section of the bumper,under the grille opening,and you are a cheap guy,you can slap on a CF cover
on that area.This basically the center section of a lip.What year is your Z?
Quite possibly a front lip such as a Mine's,would
cover the hole as the center portion of the lip
basically snaps over the complete middle of the bumper.
As mentioned,a pic will help.

Impossible to answer without pics.
You can take a look at different lips and see if you think any of them would cover your hole.

No big deal
You may want to check my veh.pics to see what I mean.The same basic lip design is used on Veilside and others.It appears that your Z is silverstone?Platinum?
CF goes well with those colors.I can only speak for the fit on the Mine's lip
which is perfect.I believe current price is around $550 for a Mine's Rep.

As said , most will. I have the Nismo V1 lip and that will cover it. I understand where you are coming from. Nobody sees it except when it gets lifted. So far never seen anyone try to look under my car but sometimes i get bothered about a minor scrape I got under mine.
