I purchased the following plastic tape protection for my CS lip. I put suntek ultra clear film on the lip first followed by the carbon tape below to allow easy removal (it's backed by 3M double sided tape).

Very strong.

So far scrapes have hardly damaged the tape. It's a thick hard plastic and blends very well with the carbon fibre of the lip.

Highly recommended for anyone with a carbon fibre lip.

I had this on my Performance lip for the past 1.5 years. Works great and cheap...

heat it up and it bends like butter.

I tried but amazon wouldn't let me. Kept crashing.

Just type that product into the search in amazon should come straight up.

thanks for the photos, so basically you tape it flat against the bottom of the lip instead of letting it hang down?

Yes exactly.

Super strong. Nice carbon pattern. Just line flush with edge of lip.
