It’s not every day… that you pull into a dealership to buy the car you have been dreaming about for many years. Mine is a Porsche Twin Turbo and at $165,000 it’s worth every penny and let me tell you that I was not thinking about a bumper skid guard for it at this point. I remember the day I bought my Porsche vividly. It was the first and only Monday morning I ever jumped out of bed. I had an appointment for my test drive at 8am and I was not going to be late.

It was 9:00 AM when I pulled into the lot, it was warm, sunny and the perfect day for a drive. Now, I’m not quite sure why I’d been dreaming of owning a Porsche since I was a kid. Maybe it’s the sleek curves, the comfortable leather or the roar of the engine. Maybe it’s the fact that it can do 0 – 60mph in 2.9 seconds. All I can tell you is that I am and always will be in love with my car.

The Porsche performed flawlessly that morning and by 11 am I was driving my charcoal grey dream car out of the dealership. It was mine and I had earned it. Opening it up on the road felt like freedom.

My plan was to head to straight to my shop. I wanted to show off my new purchase to my brother and the technicians in the garage. Then I saw the detour sign. There was no way around it. I turned my brand-new Porsche twin turbo onto a road that had been broken up into gravel. I slowed, but pebbles shot up underneath the car… a lot of them. By the time I got off the street I was sure my bumper was scratched to hell. I was right, and I was angry! This was easily going to cost over $1,500.00 and worse than that, my baby was no longer flawless.

Now you might be asking “Why is he telling me all this?” Well, this was the moment I came up with the idea for the Sliplo Bumper Chin Guard. I wanted to protect my car with a product that was versatile, quick and inexpensive to install. Guess what? I knew there were other guys just like me who wanted the same thing. This was 3 years ago and after a whole lot of independent R & D testing I’m proud to say that we nailed it. Here’s what we’ve got.
