Default Tired of scratching front spoiler

I'm seriously tired of scratching the front spoiler on my stook, this is my second one i've had put on, and once again i've scratched it. I was wondering if anyone has put anything one it to avoid damaging the front spoiler. cuz it costs me $150 to fix it each time and $699 to replace it. Thanks

You could get a piece of StonGard for it. It will do a good job of protecting the spoiler from most road debris.

I agree that scratches are inevitable. I would be shocked if Stoneguard can block the kind of road rash that comes from scraping up a steep incline. Most of that kind of damage is usually on the bottom of the spoiler where it can't be seen anyway.

I know of dealership that marks up the price of the spoiler to $900 as a forced dealer option when buying a new car.

I am contemplating a set of skid plates under the spoiler where it typically rubs. I think I remember someone installing something like this in the past and posting on it.
