The OEM lip is very resilient. I ran over a tire on the freeway when I had mine, and the paint was jacked to hell, but the lip was fine. All it needed was a repaint. I must have repainted my OEM lip 3 or 4 times when I had it. I would hit something like once a month

I think this was taken after the 2nd or 3rd repaint:
Of course, if you leave it black, you won't have to deal with painting it
