Is a front lip a must for slammed cars? you know because of scraping.. or can I get by without one?
Would it get damaged without one?

Re: Quick Question
No. Front lips reduce clearance, but they do tend to make a lowered car look better.
Re: Quick Question
Well I know it reduces the clearance, but isn't replacing a lip a lot cheaper than a whole bumper?
or is that very unlikely for that to even happen?

Re: Quick Question
If you're actually low, it is very likely to happen lol. Front lips are there mostly for that aggressive look on lowered cars. When you're 2 inches off the ground NOTHING will protect your bumper.
Re: Quick Question
Damn... lol well I guess I'll just go without one, and then maybe add one on later. Just gotta drive careful!

Re: Quick Question
I'm not even lowered and I smashed up the bottom of my lip on some curb. I wanna get a lip just to cover it up lol
Re: Quick Question
You can't protect the lip or bumper from being smashed. BUT, you can do something about scratches and keeping your paint. Just put a Vinyl under the lip/bumper!
