One of the things that makes any lowered car owner cringe the most is getting their expensive front lip and/or freshly painted bumper scrape while traversing up and down driveways. The best way to mitigate that mitigate that is to make a lip guard using a material that is cheap, has adhesive, be durable enough to resist against abrasion, and be easily replaceable.

So, thinking out of the box, the only material that I could think of with those qualities is industrial strength velcro from the local Home Depot



What I did was cutting it into foot long pieces and do some minor trimming around the curves of the bumper/lip. Here is a picture of it after a few weeks of use, and a few scrapes.

Great idea. I did something similar but with the rubber/foam garage door seal and 3M double sided tape from Home Depot also. Some call what I did, the Home Depot Lip. I went this route to protect my front lip and I also placed it on my side skirts for the same reason. I would have never thought of using velcro, way to go for thinking outside of the box.

Really depends on how you trim it and or how close to have it to the edge. But to answer your question, nobody notices it.

But over time won't things get stuck to it like dirt, leaves... Cool idea non the less

Reminds me of the OEM felt-like material that the German manufacturers use nowadays in the wheel wells. Good idea

interesting... how functional really is it? Have you tested it a little bit? Great idea if it works like your wanting us to believe it does!

Hey Steve, its pretty simple and self-explanatory. Just go to the local Kragen and get the steering wheel pulley and be sure to disconnect the battery to deactivate the airbag

Great idea. My lip is black so it might hide this a lot.
