if its unpainted you wont have a problem sanding it. ive nicked my chin spoiler a few times and i always sand it to even it out, you can still see the scrapes but looks alot better.

Man, my chin spoiler has taken a beating ... it's scratched / and now the paint has spider web'd for some reason. Probably because it was flexed some how.

I'm about to pull it off and go back to stock until I get enough courage up to try to get the GT500 lip to fit. I'm just not sure about the whole "cutting" thing.

The GT500 one isn't going to sit any higher then your cdc, so you are still going to scrape if you scrape now unless you just want a different look.

I have the GT500 chin spoiler on my car. Still needs a bit of work to make it look perfect (sagging a little on the sides). Cutting it is just a PITA, but its not hard.

On a side note, I scraped it 3 times yesterday...oh well!
