Geesh, I knew the Tanabe DF210's were low but parking blocks at work! With the TRD springs I never hit them when parking...Well after installing the Tanabe DF210's, I was in a hurry to park and this happened:
Since we were painting my engine pieces and stuff the other day, I asked Just1n if he could just do a "quick" fix to my mess up...Just1n was hesitant because he does not like to cut corners but since this is the bottom of the lip and hardly noticeable (I notice it of course) he decided to shoot a couple couple coats of paint after he buffed out the scratches...Then he shot a coat of clear...I think it turned out good, definately better than it was:

The whole bottom of my bumper looks like that.
There's been several times that other people have driven my car, and every time It comes back looking worse. My friend parked it for me, and I came back, the bumper bent over the curbstop. Oh well.

tbh, i think it just looks like a horrible repair which is unacceptable in my book. If its worth doing, its worth doing right. At this point, I would at least attempt to sand out that nasty line.
I would have left it as is, as all lowered cars have scratches on lower part of the bumper.
