Stillen Front Lip

Does anybody with a Stillen front lip have enough clearance in the front to hop a curb without destroying the thing? I would like to get one, but being the 16-year-old I am, I still hit an unexpected curb every now and then. I know all it takes is one good hit to ruin the thing!

I have it and am lowered 1.6 inches all around with b&g's..yes you will scrape if your max is lowered but no you won't be able to see it (underneathe only gets scraped)

It's all about taking things at extreme angles! ALWAYS cut the wheel coming outta the driveway or on a slope, ect. you will scrape a little bit like i said you wont be able to see it

If your at ooglie stock height and get the lip you are fine.

So you can't crack the thing by hitting a curb at all?? (assuming a drop of 1.6" and 18" rims.

i have not had any expericence with the stillen front lip but i think you are supposed to tape it on ur bumper.........if i were you id find some way of mounting on there nice and tight......i have heard stories on the org that some people ran over their own front lip.

Getting mines installed today
You should mount the stillen lip on the nip of the cars fender with the bolts that is supplied on each side and put some 2 sided tape around it and put 2 screws in the middle of the lip drill it right into the middle section of the cars bumper.
Thats the procedure if you want that firm hold
