So I decided to do a little scrap test with a small paper box tapped on my front bumper. Purposely protruded out to simulate the profile of any front lip. Test drove on my estate's ramp, no scrap. Even at the worst inclined portion of the ramp. My bro-in-law's 911 scrapped big time at this portion. Not for this, unless I race through this portion like drag racing. Then drove on cloud view road, park fook road to tai koo shing. Back and forth, no scrap.

The box is 60mm or 2.5" high. I have tired to turn it 90 degrees and tapped it, 85mm or 3.5" high. Then it scrapped and the box got knocked away.

Will try some more to those car parks with insane ramps. This will be my major bench marking before my pulling of trigger to get a front lip.

RC bro, after your 1st test today, 3D lip is good to go and I knew you love it, so am I.

For your 2nd test, I suggested you to do on both left and right corners as well, as my experience told the sides are more easy to get scrap.
