Meh, sounds like too much work. Consensus is that replacing it on a bi-weekly basis will keep it nice, clean, black and scratch free for the duration of the car's life! :stirthepot:

You'll replace it monthly...

Stop the OCD and just drive it.

It's going to happen again unless you start to park further away from the stoppers

This only get's worse once you're lowered, believe me :(

:iagree: I question how on earth are people with their rides so low have no problems at all. I scrap every time I pull in the driveway & even if I go in at an angle. My ride isn't even lowered.

I have learned to avoid areas all together or use a ton of angle in order to get into steep driveways.

It still makes me cringe when I hear the bumper scraping :icon14:

+1....... You have no idea. This Friday the 27th will be two weeks that I have had my car & not too much that can be done. It is only scrapping the skid pad underneath, but who in the hell is going to look underneath to check it out. I don't anybody really would.

Honestly it's there to get scratched, I wouldn't bother replacing it.

nono, i actually have a bottle of BlackWow i bought 4-5yrs ago and im still using it. you dont need to apply much, and i spread it evenly with a hard foam applicator.

richard (octane guy) is the guy that invented it with his dad. it's a great product. :tup:

I look at the wear on my chin spoiler as a badge of honor. I'd love to wear mine down flush through honest cornering. I never trim it either. It self trims.

exactly............

kenchan 04-26-2012 11:08 AM

no it is not there to get scratched... lol it is not a bumper or curb finder. :facepalm:

MacLean 04-26-2012 12:14 PM

You know....it is just plan disgusting looking, so just take it off completely. You "should be" fine w/o it. It is only decoration & has no real purpose. :eekdance:

kenchan 04-26-2012 12:46 PM

actually it does function... according to nissan atleast.

tjlazer 04-26-2012 03:23 PM

Don't bother buying a new one!

Just fix it:
