Very pleased with mine from RPI. Good fit and quality. Paint work was excellent. Install was easy, using existing holes and clips. It scrapes now and then. I did install a curb alert and that helps when parking at least. It is shipped in a heavy cardboard box with wood in. The center to prevent it from getting crushed in transit.

RPI lead time on painted items us usually 4-5 weeks.

The front splitter or the air dam? The air dam is designed to scrape, the front splitter not so much. I don't have any issue scraping my front splitter but do drive cautiously over any perceived uneven roadway. I have to come up my driveway at an angle because my neighborhood has uncut curbs - which is annoying even in my other vehicles which are SUVs.

I have the Extremem Online Store stuff too, I baby it and it's still taken some damage, I think the worst of it was someone that stepped on it. So no reason to spend big bucks when these fit perfectly and look outstanding. My next one I will ne covering with clear bra though.

I left my ride height bolts alone and added a 19/20 setup with a taller than usual sidewall and it really helped. I still have to be careful on steep slopes but it's not as bad as my C5 was.
