Do you guys think this damage will be visible from standing next to the car or do you think it will only be noticeable if you get down low to look under the bumper? I am thinking of buying this car, but I haven't seen it in person and am relying on pictures e-mailed to me by the seller. Thanks.

dude, when i got my bumper painted back in april, a month later, the same thing happened to me but on the drivers side. i know, it hurts and it bothers you, but after a few days, you tend not to think about it anymore. but don't worry, if you are standing up and looking at the bumper, you can't really see it unless you crouch down and check it out.

Thanks for all of your opinions. I think I agree -- it shouldn't be noticeable unless you really crouch down or unless you know it's there and are looking for it.
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.

The owner I bought mine from ate it on both sides. There's also several paint chips on the bumper. Now the clear coat is peeling on the life corner of the bumper too. Arrrrgghh, why didn't I see these when I was looking at the car. Guess I was blinded by "love".
Yea I got the TTE lip but after I test fitted it, you can still see a little of the scrapes because it extends higher than the lip. Should I have this area worked on before installing the lip?

Or get a lip that extends higher (like the Greddy or Wald)

As for everyone who did this and put on the lip to hide it, be careful driving as the clearance is even less. You can't put another lip on to hide the damage to the TTE.
