Default Skid/scrape protection

Hi

I am just waiting for delivery of my 2019 Grand Sport and one of the first things I would like to do is provide some protection to the front lip.

I was just curious what solutions some of you are using to deal with scrape protection for the front lip.

Thanks in advance.

ACS Stage 3 with under tray gives good protection.

I will be putting this on my Vicrez ZR1 bumper and splitter.
I will also be putting this at the very front part of the Splitter.

I installed a ProTekt kit on my CF Stage 2 Aero. It fit like a glove and the quality was good. I haven’t hit anything with it so I can’t say how it performs as of yet. The ProTekt is half the price of the Armor kit. Just sayin’.

I have the same set up. Mine also fit like a glove and was fairly easy to install with using existing hardware. Good Luck

ProTekt: Same on my GS. Only scraped twice, but no damage to the carbon fiber. Did its job perfectly.

WELCOME TO THE FORUM
Curious on your stage of downforce or Aero on your car.All this protection suggesting is useless on Stage 1.
