This is the daily grind for me. It is so common. I look at the chin spoliers ground down appearance as a badge of honor. If you want pics I can supply them.

Worry not.

It makes me so careful that I'm sure it's helping the actual bumper itself

This piece is designed to get scraped. Its rubber after all. Just use sand paper to clean it up every 6 months or so, will look like new!

Scraped up Sport front chin spoiler? Easy fix

True... Just an idea I mean we did fork out extra cash for that piece I just want it to be perfect. I know I know it will never be.
