shredded front spoiler

so it was inevitable. I installed a front spoiler which I thought made the car look great. I knew at some point this wouldn't last with our crappy Houston roads. alas last night going up a very subtle driveway at a nice restaurant that had a 4 inch curb as part of the driveway experience sticking up just perfect I heard it.

it lasted 3 months on my m6gc. I picked up the pieces and complaints were made about their crap driveway and the golf cart security guy says this happens all the time......which pissed me off even more. I don't think I will replace it but does anyone know where I can get that rubber trim they took off when they installed the lip?

I found something called allfit lip kit. it's just a simple rubber lip but thicker and wider than oem. for 60$.. whatever. I envy people who can lower and mod their cars...I guess I'm not that guy

the part number for the 3 pieces front diffuser is 51128054346.
a good place to get it from ecs: https://www.ecstuning.com/ES2590194/

if they didn't put the bolts back on the car, you will need 9 of 07149213164 hex bolts, and you can order them here from ecs: https://www.ecstuning.com/ES1832915/
