Nah I don't import them. I just keep them there since I bought 3 blocks for $19.99.

Actually, it's not all bad. After I decided to buy my FR-S I drove it with the owner to the DMV to transfer the title. Money had not yet changed hands. I parked it outside the DMV along the curb behind an SUV. We got out of the car and the SUV driver proceeded to reverse his vehicle into the Scion. The bottom of his bumper put a sizable crease in my prospective car's front bumper. I yelled and hit the SUV with my hand, and fortunately he stopped almost immediately.

The FR-S owner said something to the effect of me having to get it fixed, and I said, sorry, but it's still your car.

I told the SUV driver to pull forward, and when he did, the crease popped out and there was no sign of damage.

I bought the car.

So there's that.

I'm appreciating the flimsy bumper. I took my stock FRS rallyx-ing today, bottomed out many times, might have even nosed dived once or twice, but no damage to bumper

As @Choco termed it "bendy bumper".

At least for you folks where it is warm. Not so much around here in winter.
