it's there to tell you that if u ever bought a new front end every time you hear that scrape is a trip to the bodyshop as almost all the new front ends hang lower than the chin spoiler.

Pretty easy clean-up.

Grab a razor blade and cut-off the excess plastic that's frayed. It actually cleans up pretty nice and you can't tell unless you're 2 feet away that it was ever scraped.

I don't park in the driveway anymore.

If you don't have the chin spoiler the bumper can make contact when moving from a flat plane to certain inclined planed angles. The chin prevents the total drop of the bummper onto the planed surface. That is the purpose of the chin spoiler.

So which would you rather have happen... a scraped and paint scratched bumper undersurface or a chin spoiler that has a slightly rarely seen barely perceptable worn area?
