Well...

Just looking to know how damaged your lip/kit is from just daily driving

and how low your ride is.

Ive seen some really messed up bumpers because of rock chips

3 New England winters (Car wasn't daily driven for 2 of them) have OWN3D my lip/airdam. Salt, rocks, everything getting kicked up have chipped the hell out of it.

My car is dropped 1.75".

Oh well, when it's back to non-daily driver status, maybe I'll consider getting the front end repainted.

2 inch drop. Bottom of my lip looks like swiss cheese from daily scrapes from my driveway. 3 cracks from bottoming out. I have the lip off now and trying to revive it with some fiberglass work. I have no professional training of fiberglassing. Haha.

I've ripped my OEM 96-98 lip off 3 times...it keeps coming back for more. I am now missing 4 mounting points on the lip but it still lines up perfect and fits fine. Put 30K miles a year on my whip. My front bumper is fubar though....rock chips galore but soon to be repainted and then I'm getting some 3m protection

But that's not your car so what you just said has nothing to do with him.
I wish roads around here were perfectly flat.. that would be such a dream.
