Been 11 months. I have 2 long cracks, holes all over the bottom, but its still on my car. My lip is exactly 4 inches off the ground. Gonna replace it with a stock lip when it eventually falls off or shatters.

I've had my mugen knockoff on my '98 Hatch for a few months. I drove down to North Carolina out in Asheville, and going up steep driveways and such I scraped the **** out of it, all the time. Never came off or got scraped up noticably, unless you saw the lip from underneath. Unfortunately, I let my dad drive it, and he always parks his car where the front tires touch the curb. He tried on mine and curb checked the **** out of it, and put a huge crack on it. But its not too noticable.

The Stock ITR Lip is ABS Plastic right? I've had mine on for a few months. It's held up okay, except once I went to far on a parking curb and down some inclines that meet flat road like \_
