fortunately for me, *knock on wood*, i haven't scraped the any part of the underside of my car. my driveway has a little "hump" that scares the sh*t out of me every time i put it in the garage. my sideskirts are literally less than an inch off the ground when i pull into/out of the garage. i try to take my time going inside the garage. outside of my house, i always try to anticipate those terrible dips and inclines so that i can avoid a potentially dangerous situation. i just find another route to get where i'm going. sorry to hear about your situation, though. but i think that those plastic pieces shouldn't be a big worry, you can always replace those just by removing a couple of bolts. just be careful not scratch any metal parts, that's the main thing i try to avoid. i hate the sound of metal rubbing off on concrete... it's like locking me in a small room where echoes can bounce off the walls, and then taking a big *** rake and then scratch the hell out of a chalkboard.

I rolled forward into a parking bumper, and scraped it a bit ( the front air deflector) it is only 55 bucks at http://www.courtesyparts.com/Merchan...ode=350Z-FCAFD but I don't think I will replace it. I am going to be taking off the bumper to install my white reflectors, so I plan to remove it and try to sand out the scratches, or at least clean it real good so you will have to look closely to see the scratches.

There should be 7 clips and 6 bolts that you need to remove. Other than that, it's a pretty easy removal.
