Thumbs down Schmiedmann CF Mstash Lip - snapped in half

I wanted to share this with you guys
I bought this CF lip on black friday for $300 what I thought was a pretty good deal. I installed the lip last week after taking the whole bumper apart and installing a 4 tab system under my bumper connecting it to the lip with a series of pop on tabs. Looked great!



So i used the lip for that week after install until the weekend when I went to a car meet in Kendall Florida. Well normal driving around Kendall at stock height with stop suspension was difficult with the roads. Coming in and out of venues with scraping seemed OK but the lip did develop a crack under it withing the first 2 scrapes. No big deal

The real issue came when I was pulling into my friends apartment complex as I usually do where there was an exposed drain.




Took the drain quite slowly but unfortunately the lip did not survive. Snapped like a kit kat bar and leaving pieces inside the drain. 1 week and for $300 bucks, not such a great deal.




Also I did contact Schmiedmann to see if they could do anything for me since I got to drive the car with it for a few days and had literally just received the part. As expected they can't do anything for me so this is where I'm at...



Better luck next time I guess
