Front Bumper Lip fix

So I was showing off my car to a guy that owns a WRX at my friends College Graduation party. Cool kid and stuff. Totally admitted the Cobalt SS/TC was way cooler than he thought. He loves the speed.

Anyway he asked to drive

I reluctantly handed him the keys...

Well he loved the speed. The interior was great, he loved the transmission feel and clutch. Anyway I thought all was good until we got back to the party.

The street right by my friends parents house is STEEP!!!! Scrap...

Then I tell him I'm lowered and he took it up the drive way straight.... Scrap!!!!

This is why I can't have ZZP IC

Anyway now I'm scrapped up and it's driving me crazy.

So I wanna either fix mine (suggestions) or maybe find some sort of carbon fiber lip. Any recommendations?

I always take the steep driveways at like a 45* angle, I have a base G5 with stock suspension and I still scrape if I go at it straight on. But for the fix I would just sand it down fix any cracks with some plastic epoxy and repaint or wrap in vinyl.

Just get used to it, you're going to scrape again. I avoid scraping as much as I can and the bottom of my lip is shredded, I'll probably take some sandpaper and smooth it out one of these days.

also I think extreme dimensions is working on an OEM style CF lip.
