Default Front Lip

Anyone have a front lip while lowered? I have pretty big dips in my neighborhood that i have to take carefully to not scrape my under lip, the black soft plastic part. Just dont want to destroy it if i buy one.

EDIT: I guess i shouldve worded my question better, im not too worried about the plastic part, but since i do scrape that, should i not buy a aftermarket front lip? Will scraping be worse and will i ruin it?

Believe it or not if you remove the rubber mud flaps on the front bumper you will have less clearance issues. I’m dropped on Eibach and have no issues scrapping after I removed the rubber flaps.

I'm on swifts and removing the rubber flaps not only stops the scraping sound but also reduces stress
