I have an black RS1 lip kit.
My car is CSM.
The previous owner of the car decided to DRILL HOLES from the lip kit through the bumper in the front so it'd stay on. In other words, there's screws visible from the front of the car. Silver screws.
He screwed up about 9 different times, and there is black vinyl on the bumper covering up the paint scratches while making the lip look like it's molded.
There's about 12 different holes total in the driver's and passenger's side wheel-wells where the screws are actually supposed to go.
He also decided it'd be a good idea to put fron canards on and then take them off before the car was sold and put stickers over them.
...And this, ladies and gentlemen, is why I need a new front bumper.
(And for the record, I did indeed get the car as a present).

I've only removed the front lip as of right now, so I'm not sure as to the paint damage the side skirts and rear lip caused.
If I can cover it up with the new, painted kit, I'm going to, because it'd be much cheaper than buying a new rear bumper, and it'd still look fine.
