Front splitter
I purchased a front splitter that should be arriving tomorrow. My question is, should I also buy a curb alert kit? Do you have any problems/fears of parking and damaging your front splitter. I purchased the OE Front Bumper Lip Spoiler, so it doesn't seem like it's that big of a front lip. But, I'm still curious. Thanks.

I have the same splitter and lowered and no problems. Of course you have to be more careful than before. Don’t park too close to the curbs at front parking.

Yes be worried. I broke my OEM front splitter on a part of concrete I couldn't see. So when they say park away from the curbs means yes you will be low enough to hit the curb and break it. Most curbs will be high enough. A curb alert is not a bad idea.

Totally agree. Lowered or not, it is likely only a matter of time until you have a splitter parking curb impact that will ruin your day unless you are always extremely careful. One of the guys at a local tire shop pulled mine out of the service bay and put it into a parking spot. It was so close to an impact it was just dumb luck he didn't pull forward a couple more inches. Some curbs stick up higher than others for whatever reason.
