I consider myself pretty OC but once I scraped a couple times, and then started auto-x too, my front bumper got trashed so I stopped caring. I'm going to buy a new bumper once it's damaged enough and put on a lip from the get-go.

TOYOTA & SUBARU ....... ARE YOU LISTENING?

If the next model comes out with this feature I will buy
