Default Greddy Lip Ripped Off Last Night!! Pic's Inside
I was coming out of a steep driveway last night and like i always do I try to cut it as hard as I can. I've never had anything more than minor scraping and dinging on the lip up until now. The lip ripped right through the screws that were holding it in place, went under the car and took a chunk out! I'm sure it's fixable but I'm not sure I want to fix it. I have the tte stuck in the back of my mind, but I really don't want to spend the money either way. We'll see. Ohhh yeaa.....Some idiot decided to steal the Lexus grill logo off my car the other day. Thanks *******






I put it back on just for visual documentation

thats always my concern with the greddy...as nice as it looks on our cars, it just looks like it would be a pain on driveways and stuff as you had to experience first hand. Sorry to see the damages.....

Your greddy is made of fiber glass which is strange, cuz I had the greddy on my old EK and it was urethane. Are all greddy's for the GS Fiber Glass?

AHHHH!!!!

Sorry about your car man. TTE molded is the way to go. Looks just as clean and gives you a bit more clearance. How low are you??
