strafe is coming out with the rookie poly, i already had a rookie.. just FG but it was a lil low even with my current stance (i plan to go lower to minimize wheel gap) i still would hit things and some roads here arent the best and i couldnt clear some either.. which ended up messing it up and i had to fix the bumper. sometimes just wish it wouldnt lay so low.

my last option is an oem X bumper. which i do have (was also considering selling it LAWL) i have the oem lip, and i think the middle whole looks sick on the X bumpers.

why is it that i see other bumpers and i really just dont like em that much.. i mean they look ok.. but my current oem bumper also just looks ok nothing too exciting.

sorry for my rant, but just wanted to hear what everyones opinion was on current bumpers on the market.
oem x bumper + oem lip = teh sex

As long as you aren't slammed you'll be fine. You just gotta know how to drive a lowered car, OP seems to not want to deal with that hassle too much.

hahahah, a splitter's purpose is to provide down force NOT protect your bumper, and like Marcus said if anything it's worse for your bumper because it'll scrape a lot easier.
