Default my carbon fiber lip NIGHTMARE!!

*SIGH* i only had it for 2 weeks.. and now its already gone... what a waste of money... i admit though, the carbon fiber lip was REALLY nice.. but way to hard to maintain. i chipped/cracked the lip in less than a week.... and now its in a millioin pieces on the Howard Franklin Bridge. This is pretty much what happened...

i was driving like 80mph over the bridge and i was changing lanes and went over this mini dip in the road, and i guess my lip made contact with them stupid reflector thingies along the yellow lines. Next thing i know.. i hear "BOoM CRACK"... i look into the rear view mirror and see a million black pieces flying at cars behind me

so now i'm going to order a Comptech ITR lip, which is what i should've done in the first place! so a word of advice for those who want a CF lip for your usdm integra.. BE VERY CAREFUL!! arghh

My real deal Spoon carbon lip lasted about 8 months of hardcore wear and tear before a possum at 75 mph broke it in half. I cant believe it actually lasted that long from all the **** i used to hit with it. It was tough as hell.
