I still scrape every once in a while so I actually trimmed that front plastic piece. I only took off the corner or it. Basically its an even line all the way across the front. I will post a pic later.
Yeah, I haven't trimmed or removed anything so I scrape. I come in at about 45 degrees mostly because some of the driveway are vary narrow so I can't really cut in any more.

Please post a pic!

Nice. Was it difficult to remove the chin spoiler? Is the bottom of the engine exposed now?

Speaking of jacks...thanks for hi-jacking my thread. Just kidding, the more bumps the better.

Not difficult as much as a little tricky. My dealer had riveted it onto the bumper.... I don't miss it at all... and no, the engine is not exposed as the chin strip only bolts onto the bumper and does not interfere with the undershroud at all.

Damn I forgot to at tonights meet. I will post tomorrow. Seriously just trim the corners back to make it all one solid flush line and it'll make a big difference.
