Re: (esponet)
if the paint cracks like that, it means it wasnt painted correctly. Flex agent takes care of that. but mine got scuffed all the time . and bugs and rocks and ****. nothing to do ,but repaint it every so often . It should only cost like $50 if that to repaint.

Don't waste your time or effort, the lip is one of those "wear" parts as in it wears-out
I just get mine repainted once every year or two.. costs like $75 for a refinish and repaint job which is not bad at all..

be careful with leaving the tape on for more than 2 weeks or so, it really starts to be permentantly adhered on there after an extended period of time.

Re: How to keep your front lip in good condition!! (Shit_Bam)
My lip is really scratch up, so you know what I did:
1.) Realized my car is an Integra.
2.) Stopped caring and just enjoyed the car.
There ya go, problem solved.

Re: How to keep your front lip in good condition!! (onyx00)
they have these clear 3m films they put on the bumpers to prevent scratches or paint chipping....they even put it on the head lights to prevent cracks..... it isn't cheap but a lot of people are doing it now
if you are interested pm me... a friend of mine does it
