Honostly, if you're gonna get a kit, I wouldnt drop it very much at all. You're gonna scrape everything. I scrape a hell of a lot of stuff NOT dropped and I just have the OEM kit. I've scratched it up already. I give it a year before I hit a curb and rip it off. At least thats a cheap thing to replace. Some of the fancy front lips costs several hundred and cost just as much to get it painted.
