Post Tore my whole front lip off!

DAMN!! I finally ripped the whole front WW lip off. Everywhere i went i scraped a little, but today i went up a deep ass driveway and the whole thing came off. I knew it was going ot happen soon cuz its only like 4 inches off the ground. I need a new one cuz its only held up by the screws on the side right now. Does SNOOK just sell the front lip? Anyone else have this problem with the WW kit and comptech springs?

Dang man .... Yah Tim carries the WW kit but not sure if he sells it separately.

I did that many times with my factory front lips, but the factory stay intact. Now my front lip is repaired and repainted so I have to be extra careful from now on.

Do u think it would look funny if i had the factory front lip on, since the WW is lower?
How much does it cost for the factory front lip?

No, you can mix and match body kits as you see fit. I personally like the stock ones over WW ones.

That sucks that it got ripped off. I keep scraping mine too on steep hills. It's sorta embarrasing when you know you're going to scrape but you still have to go for it. So, I'm sure it was a worse experience when you ripped off yours.

Had a question regarding the underbody spoilers, is it wise to not get the kit if you have the Comptech springs? In Canadian winters I think the front spoiler would get caught on ice or scrape when there is snow on the ground, is it better just to stay away from the kit when you have the springs?

I knew it was only a matter of time. Your front lip looked too damn perfect at the meet. Welcome to the club. At least yours is black. Scratches don't show much.

Sorry to hear that JYOO. LOLOLOL!!! SAME SHIT HAPPENED TO ME MAN!!! Except it was an intersection with the biggest dip of life! My whole front end came off... By the time I turned around (1mile) my WW front lip was gone!!! Some bastard picked it up! I was soo heated! I had to go buy a new one for 130 and get it painted for 50! Funny thing is my car is emerald green too! If u need that front lip for around 130ish plus tax hit me up!
