Had a 1 pc carbon lip, now it's a 2pc

Well I knew it was gonna happen, it just looked too good with the 99 bumper. I was going up a driveway and finally cracked my Shine Auto carbon lip almost in 2. I really liked this thing but I guess it just wasn't meant to be. I'd love to get another one but I'll take suggestions on a different route if anybody has any. I'd rather not go stock , but I suppose It's not out of the question. So post 'em up fellas, lets see some front lips!

The OEM '99 lip is surprisingly resilient, Christopher

if you drill holes in your tow hook area (cant remember exact spot on mine) but mount strengthening braces (like pieces of cylinder metal) from frame to lip or after market front bumper it will actually help alot takes a hit better, a body shop long ago did it to mine and i would hit going up driveways and such and normally my front bumpers would shater to pieces and it actually stopped that problem almost 100% . Sorry if that was overly vague description . LOL

That RE-A lip looks interesting in that color scheme. I think I like it.

How would I do that? I mean it's pretty tore up in the middle of the passenger side brake duct, and then I would have to paint it. If I'm gonna have a black stock looking lip, it's gonna be the factory one.
