Default Ouch... Front bumper scrape protector?

I've got some pretty ugly scrapes on the front bumper of my SS just below the nose, but I'm in no hurry to have it repaired because, aside from the price, it's likely to happen again sometime in the future. Does anyone know of some kind of protector or molding that I could apply under the bumper to both cover up the done damage AND protect it from further scrapes?

I always try to take dips at the sharpest angle possible, but future scrapes are probably inevitable...

My car looks the same in that spot, in fact it's spiderwebbed too and looks like crap. I came to the conclusion theres nothing I can do about it so I just gotta live with it.

I've never scraped that part either, but the previous owner has. I think you mostly gte that when pulling up to a parking spot and scraping over the curb.
