I feel you, brother.
It looks as if your car's bottom lip is trying to hold back that "I busted my lip and am trying not to cry so that I can look tough in front of Dad" face.
hahaha…. What I miss are companies that took the time to design a secured aftermarket lip, reasonably priced. While this lip had a better fastener design, its mounting is not as secure as I had dreamed. On top of that, at HIGH speeds, I believe it’s generating more downforce than the mounting points can handle. Besides an awkward driveway angle, I’ve hit nothing and the lip is as pictured.

The more I tried to baby and nurture this car, the more things happened. Doesn’t really matter to me anymore. Mentally, it’s now my bucket, knocking on 30k miles.

After this past rain on Central Texas, my Amazon performance special COVID-19 infused didn’t survive either. Mine was held by bolt, nuts, and 3M double-sided tape. So I probably will save some money and go all out on the Mugen, but don’t know if going color match or leave it as is. But I hate the spoiler, but I feel that I need a spoiler with that one, but it is a high order to pay the equivalent of a used car for all that, but I don’t know, I will be marinating the idea.
It’s a nice kit. The price however, is no longer a flex. It’s simply retarded. But I’m a retard… because I’ll pay for the arch nemesis spoon stuff 🤣

😂 You and me both, brother, even though the exhaust is ass! I was thinking about buying a couple of Spoon parts, but man, I really hate how much they charge, and their lip doesn’t even wrap the bumper on the sides. But it’s just frustrating, man, because I really want something for my FL5 but can’t deal with the pay me now and wait 40 years for the part. Hopefully, if I decide to pull the trigger on the Mugen, they don’t tell me that.

I'm only creeping up on 15K miles myself, and the exact same thing has happened to me.
I don't slam the suspension, I put larger than stock diameter tires,

and still took damage Memorial Day Weekend from a major pothole... ON THE FREEWAY... you know, where potholes AREN'T ALLOWED?
These Texas roads, man. They ain't no joke.
I have to replace my OEM air dam and get an alignment, and who knows what else.

So, yeah, I feel you, brother.
I hope you get everything fixed back to at least OEM+.

Cheers.
