Sorry, they usually pop up on ebay in the same area, notice there arent any at this time.

unavailable and the only one i use. i used to be able to get the C4s for 100. now it's $275 for an oem c4s! or an ebay oem styled knockoff for a 100. i've all but given up on sourcing another $100 c4s

Joe Toth on mine. But I am biased as we provide many sample bumpers/cars for him to work with... I do like his product and Joe is committed to producing high quality products that the end user will be pleased with.

Not sure what you guys are scraping. My car is lowered...I have the aero lip and have yet to come across any issues.

Where do you live? NYC?

I scrape everything if I don't come in at an angle also. H&R Coilovers and the front tires are tucked.

ECS has the C4S lip for right under $200 - https://www.ecstuning.com/ES1487380/...621xoCXA3w_wcB

I have the C4S lip now...though itching to go to a aero lip.

Warehouse33auto.com has them for $212 minus 10% with "RENNLIST" promo code, which puts them at $191.

Oh, I have to do the same, but I do that as a "knee-jerk" reaction anyway. I do it in all of my cars.

The speed bumps don't bother me as much as the dips (water channeling?) that can catch you off guard if your not familiar with the area or street.
