Why such a big deal with scraping the front lip???

I the front of the GT4 is just like you are describing. The splitter is only a couple of inches wide and right behind it is a painted surface perhaps 1/2" to 1" higher than the black splitter. This surface is definitely going to get scraped. I worry that if you really smack the front end you could break the nose piece.

So I was all OCD about it scraping coming in and out of the driveway, you know, new car thing.
Latest trip up to the Ozarks, lower part of 123 had new surface and gravel everywhere. SO....
Back of the rear wheels looks like you sandblasted the car. Ok, now I can just relax and drive it and enjoy life.
I can always get a new front spoiler, and at some point have the rear paint fixed. It's just gonna happen with driving a car the way its meant to be driven.

4Carl, thanks for the warning. I scrape 2x leaving the house and usually 1x coming back in. The first few times I cringed, but what am I gonna do? Getting a "stronger" splitter might be moving the problem to the bumper. I'd rather have the issue on the plastic splitter. Need to buy a new one now instead of in 10 years when they are hard to find.

and I am ready too - Thank You to the RL Group buy from Luke at Sunset Porsche for the spare GT4 lips at a serious discount last year!
Funny story: I received the 2 spare lips from Sunset before the GT4 showed up. Upon delivery, the transporter racked the lip. Not too bad, but chunked in two symmetrical spots, but I got a freaked out call from my broker taking receipt. He calmed down when I already had two spares!
