Hey guys,

I scuffed my front lip pretty good pulling into a friends driveway yesterday. Has anyone tried wet sanding theirs to get the scuff marks out? Any other tricks I should know of? I know I can just order a new one, but I don't what to have to shell out nearly $400 every time i scrape on something.

Thanks!

Just get the cup splitter for about $175. They are consumables. Buy in bulk. I have 3-4 in the garage.

Where are you finding it for $175? How is it different from the normal splitter?

I cover mine with a few layers of Plast-dip, it does a decent job of covering the scuffs. Plus, I can just peel it off and re-apply when necessary.

Just buy a new one or better yet keep letting it get beat up cause it's just going to happen again. Replace it when it's destroyed.

I used to just replace it every 6 months, but don't worry about it anymore. You can buy the cup lip from suncoast or FVD.

I paint mine every so often with matte black bumper paint. When it gets really chowdered I replace it.

I've bought this one before for my 2007 GT3. Perfect fit.

How bad is the scuff? I just take a razor blade to the bottom of the lip to get rid of the hanging scuffs as needed unless it gets really bad. The razor works like a charm to making it look perfect again and its free (minus the blade).

Any shop with a PMNA account. Look for a shop that supports racers. It is more flexible, sits about 1/2" lower in front and flares out more on sides.

The app always gives me an error when I try to upload stuff from my phone or I would post a picture.

seems like its a bit more expensive these days but still worth it...

Thanks for the replies and suggestions guys.

Andrew, I should have specified I have a mk2.

Mine now has scuffs up the front, so trimming the bottom won't cut it this time.

The cup splitter looks great, but it may be too low. I am already having issues with the standard splitter. And now they are nearly the same price. Maybe I'll give it a try though.

Just an update. I wet sanded the scuffs mostly out minus the really deep ones. Its much less obvious which is what I was going for. Its discolored where I sanded it, but once I treat the splitter with a tire shine its hardly even noticeable. If it keeps drying out and reappearing I may go the plastic dip route or comparable. I'll order a new one eventually, but in the mean time will keep beating this one up as was previously suggested. Prior to the sanding, it was such an eye sore I couldn't stand to look at it.
