    There is not a kit from Lamin-x or any other company for the Mtech 2 bumper. I just ordered a sheet and made my own. Took about 4 hours to do. Works and looks great! Good luck!

        If it is painted correctly, it will hold up a whole lot better.

          use flexible paint. See my sig for why you should.

            flex addative is not what most think it is. It makes the paint flexible for a few hours, for ease of installing a part that you may have to "wrestle" on. When it is dry, it is exactly like any other paint that the adative wasnt mixed in too. Your spoiler looks the way it does from either hitting something, and flexing the plastic, or poor prep work.
            95% of all paint work is in the proper prep!END!

              It also makes cure slower, so the paint is less brittle.
