A common question that we get asked is how will SLIPLO hold up over time after repeated impacts with different objects. The first concern is that the adhesive layer of SLIPLO could detach from the bumper after a hard impact and the second concern is about the overall strength of the polyurethane layer. How will it hold up in extreme temperatures, repeated scrapes and extreme conditions. We wanted to take up these challenges and put SLIPLO bumper lip protection through a series of extreme tests designed to see if it will fail. You will see SLIPLO frozen, dropped, burnt, dragged by bulldozer, swung from, stretched and dragged on a safe behind a Ford Raptor truck. SLIPLO Universal Skid...
What are Car Bumper Protection Strips? Car bumper protection strips or front lip stripes are generally made of rubber material that are installed on the front bumper, rear bumper and side skirts of a vehicle. Their main purpose is more visual then protective and will help give your car a lowered look just like a front splitter. They are easy to install and generally don’t require any type of drilling since they are applied with a double-sided adhesive. Even though these strips can help to protect the front of the lip from very minor scrapes I don’t think they will be able to last after more then a few scrapes. Generally, the rubber foam material that the stripes are made...
If your ride is your most prized possession and you drive anything lower than an SUV, we know why you're here. You're tired of looking at every driveway with apprehension, trying to guess the grade. You purchased your road-hugging luxury ride because you wanted to roll smoothly from scene to scene. Not so you could jump out and measure the curb before pulling into any parking lot. Even if you're careful to avoid known broken pavement or steep hilly regions, the real heartbreak is when you're driving carefully through the perfectly paved suburbs only to hear a scrape as you pull into a deceptively steep driveway. After all your hard work, despite your best efforts and most attentive driving, there...
You did it didn’t you? You just bought the 2019 BMW i8 that you’ve been salivating forever since they released the specs. I get it. Every time I buy a new car, it’s the love of my life for at least a year or two. (Don’t tell my wife). Let me guess, you’ve run more errands since you bought your car than you have in the last 5 years combined. Why not? Everything looks better when you’re driving your dream car. Until… SCRAPE!!! That pothole just jumped out in the road and found you didn’t it? Don’t feel too bad we’ve all been there, but I found a solution called the BMW Skid Plate. Have I touched a nerve? Then...
Do you know what the biggest complaint I hear from luxury car owners is? Take a guess. It’s not engine trouble, expensive repairs or even gas prices. The number one complaint I hear is bad road conditions. Surprised? I own a repair shop and 2 body shops and I can tell you with certainty that bad road conditions are the worst. Why? Well because most performance cars are low to the ground and therefore more susceptible to bad roads. You know what I’m talking about right? Honestly, I got sick of hearing the whining. Finally I did some research for a customer and discovered the Ford Skid Plate that solved his problem. At first I thought, great I talked...
