only time ive hit the lip was drifting in the snow. Chris is right, the roads here are really bad, especially if you drive downtown and in the crazy parking garages.

I get people trying to evil-eye / honk / flip that bird when I take driveways slow and angled. People are too goddamn impatient... I think they just don't know that some people actually care about their cars. I guess a smashed lip is better than a CREAMED rear end. nice work Jordan btw.

I'll never understand it. I don't even have a scratch on my splitter, and I live in Chicago. We have the worst potholes, dips, cracks, uneven pavement, shitty steep driveways, and curbs in the country, thanks to lazy, awful city workers and the use of the most road salt in the nation. Just buy stiffer springs already and save yourself the aggravation.

Or stop and get out. A car is like the internet, people act like e-thugs when theres no real danger to them, but when you get in their face, they sudennly turn into a puss.

welcome to the 'I broke a rieger lip' club
on that note... mine broke again while my brother was autocrossing the car
the splitter should not have cracked though, did you make it yourself? I'd make another one with some thicker/stronger ABS
my lip literally tore in half horizontally before anything happened to my splitter (nothing ever happened to it)
