Front Bumper Protection
Just picked up a new 350 Sport. The lower front bumper appears very susceptable to hitting the curb. At least my wife successfully did that with the other car.
Has anybody tried these strips call bumper protectors to protect the paint? I need to do something or the spoiler is going to be scrapped with paint missing.

I've not had a problem with mine and I ruined the lip under the front of a vette
But to answer your question, no. Sorry

Im bot sure if this helps, but a 3m clear bra does cover the entire bumper including the lower lips (not the bottom of the bumper though). It is supposed to protect your car from rock chips and minor scratches, but it might be too weak for curbing. I guess it all depends on the speed you hit the bump.
One thing though, if you have the parktronic option, it'll warn you when the bumper is too close to curbs thats high enough to damage the lips
