Underneath front bumper protection

Maybe I missed it, but I didn't see anything regarding this on the forum. But a search of anything like bumper spoiler protection is going to bring up a lot of threads

I just purchased a '19 M5 Comp that I absolutely love. Unfortunately I have a sloped driveway and so far it hasn't hit, but I was wondering if there was anything people recommended for protecting the underneath of the front bumper. I'm seen a few stick on options, but I'd be curious how well they work. I also saw a place called Scrape Armour that looks good, but I don't see one for the F90. Thanks.

I ran into these guys at SEMA this year. Looked promising but I have not used it personally.

Thanks! I saw them as well, but wasn't sure how it would be. I guess I can give it a try. Did you get to look at the material itself? Was just curious how durable it looked.

Its a polyurethane compound so it's somewhat malleable and designed to take an impact. It looks good... Definitely worth a try.

I had this done on a few of my cars without the front axle lift. It's works very well but you have to position it properly to make it work when in and out of driveways

We have had great feedback on the Acexxon front lip protectors.

Hi all. New to forum. 2022 M5 Competition Alvite Grey Metallic. No aftermarket mods.
I assume I have OEM as listed "MPP Carbon Fiber Frnt Splitter" on window sticker.
Front clearance is about 5"
I am already scraping the bottom of the front splitter and looking for suggestions on scrape guards. I looked at various options including SLIPLO listed in the post however they are too wide in depth for the CF splitter installed on my M5. SLIPLO is 1 inch in depth and others are up to 1.7 inches. I have attached pictures of the underside of the front lip splitter. The front end in in front of the gap is 0.25 inches.
Does anyone have a suggestion on how on options for protection for the splitter I have? I am guessing it will be difficult to find a solution with all the gaps underside. Thanks in advance.

I use these on my lowered car and feel much better knowing the sound I hear is these scraping instead of the carbon fiber itself when it happens. I would assume if the CF itself touches it could fracture.
