Sorry to see that. Unfortunately, an addition of a lip would not have prevented that from happening. If anything, you will probably run into more similar situations. The cost to fix your original problem with Bondo and a paint job will be a few hundred, maybe $3-500. If this happened to a CF lip, a replacement will cost you way more than a few hundred dollars. While CF by itself is very strong, the clear coat is no better than the one on top of your paint.
If your intention is to give the car a different look, then yes the lip is very effective. But if it is from protection, it might not be the most cost effective solution.
