R the DRLs orange plastic or some type of orange overlay film.

Oracal 8300 transparent vinyl. I bought a 2'x1' roll and that was sufficient. The little painted trim piece in front between the headlight and grill has one retaining clip under the weatherstripping if you open the hood and once you pop that off you can just pull that piece off, made the process much easier

Hate this. End of first week of ownership put mine but gently on curb. But I heard it. This is a downside of our LC's, especially a daily driver like you. Best best best going forward.

As a great contributor and booster on the forum, you might take some deep breaths right now. You have put so much into your LC. Hoping more knowledgeable members can send advice before you blow off your sweet.

Oh man I meant the lip, going to find a lip that doesn't sit as low... Not the LC itself!!! Lol you'll have to pry the LC from my cold, dead or teetering-on-bankruptcy hands

Between repair and paint it'll be a few hundred bucks, then wouldn't match the rest of the carbon fiber (side skirts, diffuser). Replacements are under $1k, so will likely just go that route once I find one I like. If I wreck another one it'll be 3pc ebay specials after that lol

Sorry. A hit like that would put some cuffed in a padded cell.

Oh yeah I was livid in the moment and let SEVERAL F bombs fly as soon as I heard the crunch, then my daughter told me "daddy you know I'm in the car? Language" and that kind of was the end of the anger, surprisingly lol
