Scrap Amor
I just purchased a 718 GTS last week. Coming from a 911 Carrera base, the 718 is awesome. One main difference is the 718 GTS has PASM and the lower ride height has caused me to scrape my front bumper on the drive way. I saw a product called Scrap Armor. They make a 718 package, but not a GTS package. Has anyone used this? Are there any competing products that offer a GTS package?

I have that trouble with my Spyder when entering the driveway at my son's house. But the scraping can be avoided with many driveways simply by entering the driveway slowly at a 45 degree (+ or -) angle instead of straight-on. Try that before adding clap-trap to car.

SlipLo is much cheaper and you can sand out some scratches and put it over them, which is what I did. SlipLo also helps to make the lip more rigid so it you were to whack it real hard it will save your spoiler lip so it is cheap insurance. I started using it over 25 years ago on a 1st Gen Viper and have continued every since.

Does anyone have experience trying to remove sliplo? The website has a note saying it's removable, but gives no detail how that would happen. Of course pretty much anything is removable just a matter of how much damage you do. Doesn't seem to jive with the fact that it must adhere so strongly to work.

Also, all this product does is protect from scrapes underneath, which you never see anyway.

This is the problem I would have with it. Aside from the fact that it uses up even more clearance, it looks like it is rigid and would transfer more force to the bumper in a firm scrape, which isn't what you want. The stock lip has some flex in it so it gives a bit, avoiding ripping the bumper off the car. There is a reason why the stock spoiler lip is cheap flexible plastic.

But what did it save you? Was it cheaper than just putting a new plastic lip on 5 years down the road? Do you regularly get down on the ground and look at the bottom of your splitter?
