Default pulled too far over parking curb

, as above I pulled up too far over the parking space and the small piece of plastic that is under the front (I have a sport pack) got all scratched up. I would like to replace it with a new OEM one any help on where I could find that?

ours scratches on our driveway too easily... I just pull out a razor blade and trim it regularly to keep it looking clean

I've seen it go on the forums for around $20 + shipping so you could just keep your eye out for that. Otherwise I'm sure a google search of 370z front spoiler or chin spoiler should work fine.

It is there to help prevent you from actually scratching your front bumper & losing some paint. I have about an inch to maybe an inch & a half of the skid pad under my Nismo front bumper & I have scraped the bottom a couple of times trying to pull into my driveway. I have tried pulling up in an angle, but that didn't seem to help. I wouldn't worry about replacing it.

Pointless. You learn to live with it. Coming from someone who is OCD about these things, I almost had a heart attack when I first scraped it. Since then I try to use angles and hit it as little as possible, but it happens. You've got to realize its not noticeable anyways unless you're looking for it down there at the right angle.

Yup... I'm OCD with my whip. My neighbors kinda make fun of me and tell me I have the cleanest car in texas due to it barely ever having dust or spots. Lol. But I learned that that scraping the lip is probably saving my car. Its like early warning when it scrapes, it stops u from doing something stupid.

No sense putting a new one on, you will surely rough it up also. I have taken some sandpaper to mine every six months to smooth it out again. After that put on some back to black dressing to put color back to it.
