Scrape Armor Front Bumper Protection for 42 Audi R8 (pre-facelift)

Scrape Armor Front Bumper Protection for 42 Audi R8 (pre-facelift)

Scrape Armor Front Bumper Protection for the 42 Audi R8 (pre-facelift) is built from TekLite polymer, a proprietary material engineered to reduce surface friction by 50%, allowing the vehicle to glide over obstacles with minimal resistance while protecting the bumper from damage. Its patented GlideTek rail system lowers surface contact by over 50%, minimizing friction and alleviating stress on the bumper during road contact. Additionally, Scrape Armor incorporates patented ElipTek edges with angled contours that eliminate hard edges, preventing snags and safeguarding the bumper when reversing off unseen obstacles.

3D FORMED PRECISION FIT

• Scrape Armor is precision-machined and 3D-formed to deliver an exact fit, seamlessly matching the vehicle’s natural contours for low-profile protection. Each Scrape Armor kit begins with a comprehensive digital scan of the vehicle’s front end to ensure optimal accuracy and coverage.

LOW-PROFILE FIT

• Scrape Armor produces the lowest-profile skid plate available, measuring only 2mm thicker at its highest point than the vehicle’s factory hardware. Designed to utilize all original mounting hardware, it maintains a sleek, low-profile fit while providing sufficient thickness to guard against scrape damage and shearing

TekLite Polymer

• Scrape Armor is constructed from TekLite polymer, a proprietary material engineered to reduce surface friction by 50%. This ultra-slick composition allows the vehicle to glide over obstacles with minimal resistance, protecting the bumper from tearing.

GlideTek Rail System

• Scrape Armor’s patented GlideTek rail system reduces a vehicle’s surface contact by over 50%, minimizing friction during road contact and decreasing the pull on the bumper.

ElipTek Edges

• Scrape Armor’s patented ElipTek edges feature angled contours that eliminate hard edges, preventing them from catching on unseen obstacles. This design helps protect the bumper when reversing off objects that make contact with the vehicle’s front end.

Why Scrape Armor?

• Scrape Armor recognizes that modern vehicles feature extended front ends, flowing body lines, and lower stances that enhance their visual appeal but create significant clearance challenges. These designs often conflict with common road conditions and building codes, as current regulations allow driveway entrances to be up to 40% steeper than the approach angle of most cars. Scrape Armor provides protection against this type of damage, preserving the vehicle while driving and helping maintain its resale value. Bumper or front-end replacements recorded on Carfax can reduce a vehicle’s market value by 10% to 30%, a loss Scrape Armor is designed to help prevent.

About Scrape Armor

Scrape Armor was founded after over 20 years in the performance automotive industry. The brand identified a common problem: vehicles often sustained scrapes, gouges, damaged hardware, and costly underbody wear that went unnoticed, leading to expensive front-end repairs and reducing resale values by up to 30%. Unable to find an effective solution, Scrape Armor developed and manufactured its own line of precision skid plates. Today, Scrape Armor is recognized as a premier manufacturer of low-profile, full-coverage skid plates, trusted by leading automotive brands worldwide. Each product is meticulously engineered and backed by a lifetime warranty.
