Well after spending $$$ at the body shop to get mine fixed. I am really careful now. Be aware though, that they can repair most cracks without having to replace the entire bumber cover.

However I totally agree with jerseygirl. The Honda does have a very very low front end on it and there is definitely not much clearance. Even at my office where there are no parking blocks in the front of spaces, but there is a small curb. The majority of the cars park with their noses over this small curb as there is plenty of clearance. I don't as the Honda almost rubs on the curb.

Just beware this car has a very low front bumper and you should not pull right up to curbs or parking blocks

You actually see this on a lot of cars where custom front spoilers and air dams have been fitted on. You''ll see cracked paint. pieces chipped out of them etc.

By the way, the plastic is a polyurethane. It is designed to flex and will tearn if caught from below. (That's what mine did as it opened up a 8" rip from the bottom going upward.
