I was not worried with the bumper getting damaged or torn off, but about the toll it was doing to my under diffuser. At the daily rate of scraping, it was clear I would have to eventually replace that piece often as it gets torn up.

It's a smart way Nissan did it too, that way you don't have to replace the whole fascia. But at $350+ a pop, it is still expensive.
tj - were you able to sand down/smooth out the scratches on your diffuser? I know it's probably impossible to make it look new again, but I'm thinking can at least smooth out some the scrapes and gouges.
