In essense of your bumper fix, I may or may not have ordered an EZ Lip. 
The previous owner even though the car isnt terribly low decided to take inclines straight on at speed is my best guess. I think this will cover the gashes in the plastic instead of trying to fix it with putty, sanding and paint. |

This car is weirdly bad for steep driveways, I will have to be careful once I get the Mugen
The previous owner of my car scratched up the inside trunk area pretty badly but luckily once I bought a waterproof cargo mat it covered up all the scratches
David, I will be curious to see how you mount up that EZ-lip, most tend to mount it closer to th edge of the bumper with screws but I opted to mount it in more of an OEM location so that it could protect th bumper better
