I'm pretty careful to avoid situations where I can scrape the front of the car but sometimes you can't really help it, especially with a car that sits relatively low. Products like this are a cheap (certainly cheaper than replacing a carbon fiber piece) and easy-to-install safeguard against light damage.
The install is easy and I feel good about the 3M VHB that is pre-applied staying stuck on, especially with the included adhesion promoter. I can't imagine these pieces coming off unless they've already done the job of protecting your car from a heavy scrape. The notched shape of the strip makes it capable of fitting to a gentle curve and you just line up and press down one block at a time. I had to cut a few blocks off the ends on both sides to leave a bolt exposed and it was easy to cut with regular scissors. I may go back and add a little half block to the front tips of the splitters that are currently unprotected in the attached photo.
I measured the thickness at 5mm, and combined with the material and the strength of the adhesive, I have confidence that this will do its job, though I hope it never has to!
I only used 3 strips (well, I guess 2.5 if I discount the sections that I trimmed off and can still use) so I have some spares if these installed pieces ever become damaged.
