Thumbs up Man, glad I chose urethane over carbon fiber or fiberglass...

Went to park at my spot at work today, and I misjudged the distance from my front Veilside Lip to the parking block. I hit it pretty hard, and I was slow to get out of my car to see what damage there might be. Thankfully, there was none, not even a scratch! If that were cf or fiberglass, I might be in trouble.

BAT. you have to show everyone how great your car looks with your new kit (very very clean, I must say, and I am not one that typically likes body kits)

i know those stupid parking stubs....very hard to judge...i usually park too far away .....i hit my evo-r lip pretty hard once....scratched a bit but no damage

fiberglass is stronger than you think..but still is much weaker than urethane

Did this a couple times when I first got my lip.

Soon you will start to develope what us ex-ricers use to call the "lip sense". You'll find yourself parking your car and coming out to find your lip less than an inch away from the curve/ parking block. You'll be amazed...
