bumper scrapping

I recently put a rk sport front bumper on my 07 gxp and i have a giant problem. Where i live there are several large speed bumps and dips in the road and it is damaging my front bumper. It seems like my bumper is to low and i was wondering if there is anyway to raise the bumper or if there is a product to protect the bumper.

Get coilover's and raise your car but it will look ugly.

Yeah - what he said - move to a different area without speedbumps, or raise the car or remove the bumper. I don't think that bolting casters on the bottom of the bumper is going to do it!

Have you thought about instituting a lawsuit over the speed bumps? One of the buildings where I work at just replaced all their parking bumpers. I asked the construction person that was doing it as to why he was replacing them, as I could see no logical reasons to remove good bumpers and replace them. He did explain that there is a growing trend for people to sue the parking lot owners and private communities over their bumpers and speed bumps, because cars these days are built lower then the older ones and that people have also lowered their vehicles. He stated that this particular building was replacing theirs for lower ones to get ahead of any possible litigation and that he has done others for the same reason.

Also I have noticed that some areas are installing rumble strips and speed "humps" for the same reason.
