My mold cracked from a rock hitting the front bumper.. I have a nice crack along the mold on the passenger side... I'm still getting it remolded but its lasted many years..

A molded lip looks very clean but I agree with you for your reason on not to mold. The right side of my lip is being held in place atm by a zip tie after it got struck my a manhole cover when I was driving on a road that was milled. Ugh!!!

I used to be so low that the bolts began to get stripped / flat

i definitely suggest not molding if your gonna scrape
