SHould bea great solution, ten when i get back to tampa i can have the bumper done by someone I know and then put the evo-r back on. WHat do you guys think of my plan?

My boy yung tony said no problem, whatever th lip doesnt cover he will sand down for me and place my vinyl overlay over the exposed scratches as a temp solution.

You should try to repair the damage first. It will be difficult to remove the lip once its on. You'll need to paint the Evo-R lip anyways. So if your looking to save some cash, do some of the work yourself. Sand down the area, fill (using bondo bumper repair), spray down primer and sand ready for paint. You could try using rattle can's or just have the shop paint it while you get the lip painted. The black "paint/primer" that's already on the Evo-R lip is not meant to be a top coat and scratches up/ chips rather easily.

This site has all the materials you would need including paint.
