Looks like my theoretical concern about that stainless steel scuff plate is true. Why make a scuff plate that can't take a scuff. Then again, painted bumpers these days can't take a bump either.
Hopefully someone will find a plastic bumper scuff plate and let us all know.
Does anyone know how these are usually mounted? Are they held on by high quality double sided foam tape?
I wonder if a scuff plate off another car might fit.

It is particularly visible because of the polished, reflective surface of the scuff plate. Kind of pissed about this, since it occurred one day after installation.
I wish they provided a heavy rubber or plastic plate like 99% of all other SUVs
