I am actually looking into this, but couldn't find one to do it in town. So I message someone to send me a pre-cut version, he hasn't get back to me yet. I know there's someone had it on this forum, he even posted pictures.

I gotta say it's a great investment, if you google it, you'll find someone doing a test, he basically shot a compressed air gun with a BB kinda thing, and it hits it at around 270 some MPH, and the car has no problems at all.

He even tested with a knife. You had to use moderate force to cut through it, and possiblly damage the car.

Again, it's a great product, nothing new though.

My lip is 2-3 inches off the ground, and I scrape one a month, give or take, but it's never too bad. The whole underside of my lip is scraped up, but you'd never know unless you got down and put your head on the ground to look... Oh and by the way I have the authentic Do-Luck lip, and I can tell you that you get what you pay for. I've had carbon fiber lips before, but the quality on this lip is flawless, and it has stood up to a beating.

Check the bottom of my page and send me an IM with any questions from my website. I also do this for a good price for any locals (Mid-Atlantic area).

I have the Do Luck replica and have hit tire treads and whatnot. It's held up just fine. On a side note, you should maybe try to get a paint marker with clear coat in it and try to touch it up. Works for me, but I accidently left the cap off and it dried up. I actually used it on my brake calipers on a small chip and it still looks just as good.
