Depends if you ripped it fully off the brackets. But that piece is pretty cheap even if you need a new one.

No biggie, just take the six screws out and reinstall if the tabs are still intact.

Gave up on replacing this. I just do a 2 years overhaul if i care enough. It is cheap, Just get the sport lip if you are going to upgrade https://www.suncoastparts.com/product/SKU992SSL.html

That's a disposable part, like brake pads. That's why Porsche makes them out of ABS plastic instead of carbon fiber. I replace mine all the time.....but I don't throw out the marked up one, I simply sand it down, then paint it with flexible paint and swap it back into the car when the other one gets banged up.

Save this thread for the next person wanting to know whether to option the FAL.

Not entirely true. Yes the FAL would help, if you remembered to hit it upon approach. The geotracking is not great. And the FAL has been prone to out of warranty failures. The plastic is cheap.

You may decide to buy a new spare, but hold off on replacing it. Get some additional life out of the original and learn where the low spots are on your typical routes. Then when you finally replace it you can adjust how you approach certain areas.

I had an AMG and lost 3 bumpers getting too close to curb stops...agree with cubsfan1 to wear this one out until you get used to watching for the danger spots.
