Front bumper chin protector

After sliding up on one to many parking stall curbs my chin protector has had it. I`ve got to just stay away from getting to close because if I slowly approach, it will go up on the curb without any notice but when backing away it catches and trys to roll up. Anybody got an idea for a replacement piece other than stock, I`m thinking a piece of aluminum boat molding that I can form fit and paint ?

Hey Art, whenever I have my car out, and plan on going somewhere that has those concrete parking curbs, I ALWAYS back my car into the spot. Much safer that way.

Try a lift kit and 20" wheels up front.
