Default Running ITR lips into the curb!

Just wanted to get an idea of who has a F'd up lip. I just ran mine into a cement parking block, kinda pissed me off but it was going to happen eventually.

Is your lip f'd up?

It's not bad, just a few scuffs on the passenger side.

Argh, having a truly bad day, almost got T-Boned by some idiot driving an LS430 turning left a few seconds before I ran into the curb.

I use mine as a curb feeler/battering ram/free way debris deflector.

Also use the canister on the Mugen B pipe to detect if ramps are too steep for me to get down. Put a nice speed dent into it yesteday...gonna go and pound that sucker flat. Nice and aero.

Easy now lloyd, hah

I guess it's my fault, riding way too low, beyond functionality.

Geo - battle scars are cool, I use my b-pipe to find if ramps are too steep or not either

Hell yeah marc, that's what I'm talkin about, but more like I ran into a concrete parking blocker. To make it worse, the end was already cracked off and all jagged'y, so that kinda owned my lip even more.

But you guys are great, makes me feel better.

This is what I get for riding stunna style

Lol, damn, that sounds pretty bad. I thought I learned my lesson, my first lip went straight into a concrete parking barrier the 2nd or 3rd month I had my car. Got it sanded, repainted and then it just started getting more and more messed up from being lowered. Then it finally bit the dust when I hit a tire going N on I-15 at 5am.

This being my second lip I thought I learned, but I guess not, sheeot.

I am guessing that is what happend to mine as well. The previous owner used some touch-up paint on it.. not too bad...

Don't mind the bugs

It is lowered. But I've only had it for a little over a month though. I'm sure my time will come
