that's not quite what i meant. i was thinking of something on the bottom of car so that when you bottom out - you bottom out on the bar as opposed to the front bumper.

Are you looking to protect the lip or the whole car? If its the engine, you can find a Engine Protection Skid Plate at suncoast. If you want to protect the lip, your better off getting a metal shop to fabricate some pieces and have them drilled onto the bottom of the lip.

I Like it, I think it would be of good use for a year in NYC and would save my bumper from sudden death
