Protecting Front Spoiler from scraping the ground?
Today I was going over a dip in the road a bit fater than I should have and had the front of the car hit the ground, with a painfull sccrrraaaaappp. When I took a look down there I was amazed to find that there is nothing to project the painted surface from hitting the ground and to notice that this wasn't the first time I scraped the paint of this piece. Does anyone know of a way to protect this surface? Something like a countured piece of carbon fiber to work as a scid pad wourd do the trick.

can try to have the lower section covered with clearbra, but would probably shred with a good hit..
it could provide at least a little protection. At least you can't really see the scrapes unless you're looking for em.

They make 3M stuff like clearbra but thicker. you could get a big sheet of that and cut a piece.
I have clear headlight protector stuff on my car that is like clearbra, but its at least twice as thick. this material would be good because it could probably take a good hit and not totally scrape off. once it got all beat to hell, you could peel it off and put a new slice on.

They make a material sold at ski shops for protecting the tops of skis
It's cheap, and thick. It does tear on scrapes, but is easily replaced, and does a pretty good job of reducing or stopping damage to the front underbumper.
