      Both work as advertised. The Snake Oyl chin guards are very noticeable when they’re on the car. If/when you do smack them, you can bend the teeth, and that looks really bad. Replacement teeth are available though. On the plus side, they give the air dam lip some protection that you won’t get with the Viper Store guard. My car in particular had a rough life before I got it, and the whole underside of the bumper is scuffed. The greater coverage of the Viper Store guard would have prevented most of the damage.

      Deep gouges and any corner cracks can easily be plastic welded so that the bumper can be properly restored back to original condition. Unless your bodyshop has a plastic welder, take the bumper to the welder before the bodyshop

      Snake Oyl chin guards look horrible IMO

      Removal a snap.
      1. 5 small bolts that can be seen in each wheel well.
      2. 7 larger bolts across the bottom.
      3. 4 plastic push pins in the grill and 5 plastic push pins under the leading edge on the hood. There is a hole for a push pin under each headlight but it was not used on my car.
      4. Peel the corners away front the wheel wells.
      5. Tilt the lower edge away from the car and lift the facia free and place it on the floor while holding it up right.
      6. Disconnect the fog lights at the plug.
      7.Twist the lamps free of the corner markers and carry the facia to you work area.

      The front bumper is @ the shop for strip and paint. Which chin protection is recommended, the SnakeOyl type or the ViperStore type? Where is the best place to buy InvisiShield?
