Talking My Front-Lip Scrape Guard from Home Depot, Using Industrial Strength Velcro

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.




Best $8 Spent Ever

Not sure I see the point. If the bumper gets scrapped from the bottom, no one can see it anyways. If the bumper scrapes in a way that IS visible, I wouldnt want velcro pubes to be there in plain sight.

I was actually thinking about doing this because I've gone through 2 HD spoilers.
Which isn't a big deal, just a little time consuming to replace.
This would be perfect though to have an instant replacement available
Question I have is can you see the velcro with the HD front spoiler attached.
