Default front lip protector?

i have a stock tcm xb which i use to deliever pizzas. this often means driving in some what unfamiliar areas and pulling into drive ways. and so far im pretty good at scrapping my front lip on steep driveways. even when im trying to be super careful i let my guard down just long enough to hear that sccchrrrrrchhhh on the pavemnet. my previous car (96 for escort) hada simialar clearance on the front but underneth the car was a sort of scratch gaurd, it was basically a thick metal plate that hung below the front bumper, so when ever i scrapped the plate you pay the toll not the bumper. is there anything i can install on my xb that would preform the same function? i have a feeling i cant buy this off the self, i will probally have to find someone with a lil know how. but i was just curios, i figured that it will probally be cheaper to install a guard rather then buy 10 stock front lips so i can swap em out when ever i bottom out too bad. that that i have hit it all that hard, just basically scratched the bottom a lil.

This might not be totally what you are looking for, but it will definitely help with your problem.



It is paint protection for the front spoiler. If you are interested to learn more let us know. This is Foth's Box and he has it all over the front end.

Yes it is the 3M ScotchGard product made to fit the front spoiler. While it will not stop all damage it can help. My bumper is so low to the ground and if it wasnt for this product my bumper would be trashed.

Damn. I will be SoCal in Irvine on Sunday installing kits. I wish I could make it there. From what you are saying that shouldnt be a problem to cover. All we need is pics to check out the pieces.

peace
