That wouldn't really help.

I've seen a lot of shops and local guys fab up a thin "protector" out of sheet-aluminum that bolts or 3m's to the underside of the splitter and acts as a scrape protector
I think there's a vendor on here with an aluminum "scrape" plate.

This is all I got for now but promise I'll take some more later
Looks great!! I'm still very surprised how much clearance there is. I've only lightly scrapped a couple of times the past 3 weeks. Went over a giant speed bump yesterday waiting for that inevitable sound, but nothing. It was like oh phew, I cleared haha.
Thanks, I know right, plenty clearance there, it's already passed a few minor tests lol.

Any idea who this vendor is?
Here are a few more iphone pics

Looks great! And I'll have to do some digging to see which vendor it is that's running the plate on their personal vehicle.

I saw MRF running a metal skid plate, but that was a GT4 lip (which is really not for me). Like I said, the V1 lip it's a smaller issue, just be careful with it.
It's literally a piece of thin sheet metal cut to the shape of your lip. Anyone could build it themselves

Indeed. I'm gonna try the plastidip route first. Then I was gonna go all "gangsta" and cut myself a plate so I can throw sparks like the bagged VW's around here.

Shouldn't be too complicated. I think Lowes/Home Depot sell thin sheet metal.

Exactly. Buy some sheet metal and some metal shears, trace out the lip, cut it out, bolt it up or 3m it to the underside of lip

Thank you! Hope we can talk cars next time!
Guys just ordered the lip extension to turn mine into a V2. Can't wait!!
Mode Carbon just released the FRP version of their lip as well!

edwinm3, can you take a front view picture. I am close to ordering the V1 lip for my M3. I believe it would be good contrast to the MR (as with your vehicle). Thanks.
