Rear bumper tabs (rubbing)

For those of you with lowered cars and low offset wheels, that rear bumper tab which holds the quarter panel and rear bumper nearest the fender well together seems to be a real issue. What have you done to remedy the rubbing issue? Have you cut the mount off and tapped a screw just behind the original mount? Or something different?

That's exactly it. Relocate the tab. This is weird because mine never rubbed on the tab.

Not sure about TL but with my TSX before. I would just remove the screw and bend the tab up. Not like the bumper can fall off that easily.
