Do you plan to remove your damaged clear bra or have it re-done? I hope it covers where it got peeled off.... test fit 1st! 
Some other angles from other member cars. Please note the body line and reference to the yellow line in the attached pic.

I used MSpaint and followed the body line on the bumper. The yellow line resembles the edge of the GFX lip. Can someone please confirm?

Thanks Istundra! You've been very helpful. It looks like it will cover the entire scrape, but I have to wait til I'm back home on Sunday to be 100% sure. As for the clear bra, I'm not so sure what to do with about it. Sometimes I wished I never had it installed in the first place. Someone did warned me about clear bra riping in an event like this. But on the other hand, the clear bra has prevented major paint chips from occurring. The paint was had looked worse without it. Hopefully, Aerotech can do a quick fix to that area without removing and replacing the entire bra.

Sounds good. If it can cover the entire damage, then I don't have to do anything to the clear bra.
Oh one more thing. Mine is crystal white and I'm sure the lip will be starfire pearl. You think it would look awkward if I were to not paint the lip to match the crystal white?

Last i checked with Sewell, Crystal White 062 is discontinued.
(i have crystal white '03 GS300 SD.)You might get lucky and find old stock, but new, GFX lip in Crystal White 062.

thanks again!
And if all fails and I cannot find the crystal white.....a mismatch lip is probably better than the ugly black spot.
