E-MAN... It doesnt matter if its visible to others eyes. The thing that will most bother me is knowing myself the car isnt perfect anymore. You can hide and lie to everyone but you cant lie to yourself. Juss as many has suggested, either get the TTE lip and cover it, or repaint that little area. You dont need to repaint the whole bumper. That happened to me before and the body shop i took it to, charged me 40 bucks to spot paint the damaged area. Good luck and hope to see your ride back to normal.

Hey, if the car is in good condition with minor blimishes then i woudn't worry about it, You can always get new kit or lip or take it to the shop, and have them just repaint the frt bumper. If i were you i would get a set of Tein SC lowered down, and nobody would notice LOL.

As some of you know, unlike most of you, I'm kind of mod-a-phobic, so a TTE lip is not in my future. Repainting might be, though. Thanks again.
