Hello all.
I dropped something on the rear bumper of my 2018 Si sedan, and ended up with a nick right at the edge where the bumper starts to go from horizontal to vertical. I looked around for a bumper guard that would hang over this edge and cover the nick, and I found this:

I reached out to the company, and they said that although they hadn't tested it with the Si specifically, they believed it would fit. I bought one, and unfortunately, it turns out it doesnt fit. It appears that most other bumper guards do not hang over the edge of the bumper, so my next thought was the OEM bumper applique, which looks to be the perfect shape to cover the nick. Unfortunately, it is transparent, so it would still show the nick.
Does anyone know of a bumper protector that would fit the Si sedan and cover this damage, or know of an opaque bumper applique that would work? Or, for that matter, would it he possible to sand the OEM applique prior to installation to give it a more matte appearance to hide defects beneath it?
Thanks for any input.
