It holds up pretty fine (Veilside V1 FRP). Sometimes if I rush speedbumps, I scrape it. The bottom is scraped, but it doesnt matter since no one can see it. A few paintchips, less than the stock bumper (haha).

But when I manage to destroy this one, I still have an extra V1 lip sitting at the shop that I can put on...bought two, but never got around to selling the extra.

I got the Hasemi Lip FRP. Strong as hell! I made the mistake of going down a steep driveway once. The lip was pushed upwards as it made contact with the road. Aweful, scraping sound it made , but no cracks .

Thumbs up Evo-R's front lip

Evo-R's FRP front lip (StyleKing Rep) held up very nicely under New York City's pot-hole infested roads and it scrap many times while going up & down my driveway, besides some scratches on the bottom there is no crack or any damages to it, very strong FRP lip!!!

One of our customer (My350Z ID: havabooz) even got into an accident and the front lip is still in original shape, no damages!

Here is his thread (sorry Sean if this bring back your nightmare);

i've broken 2 airwalker bumpers so far.

first one - my fault, hit a very large dog at night. 2nd one - not my fault, some lady backed into me in the parking garage at my office. other than that, they are fine - just make sure to go with good quality fiberglass.

With any fiberglass front end you will have to be careful of pot holes and flying debris.

You best bet is to clear bra it to help with the small to medium sized road debris.

However the newer kits come as FRP (fiberglass enforced plastic)
so it more flexible to every day driving.

BTW morocaan mole we have an airwalker kit waiting for you in the private group buy.. all you have to do commit to buying one...
hehehe

Otherwise Mr B can help you with a Top Secret kit
