get some touch up paint. I had something like this on my CSM. on the otherside actually It's not really a location where the touch up paint is obvious. You can only see it on mine if you know its there or get up close.

 

I am thinking of getting a front lip only, i have searched on here and found a few that have front lips only, some rs1's and a few oem. I would go oem lip i think because the rs1 goes lower and may look uneven from the pics I see. Can anyone specifically take or have a view of the side of your ride if you just have a front lip only.

 

I am still undecided what to do to correct this...too many options but I do know I hate it being there knowing the car is relatively new (april) and I screwed up by doing the damage

Do I

1) Touch it up (this would need sanding wouldn't it since you can actually feel the scrapes and see a little bit of the depth, only white is there no paint, does langka work on this large of an area, so it isnt raised or too noticable?) Save money for my student loans and car payment.

2) Take it to a body shop and get it professionally fixed (anyone have idea how much it will run ballpark?)

3) Get a front lip only to cover it (oem, need shots of side view of front lips only to convince me, already searched on site and found some photos, but need more convincing shots, searched tons of threads so I am not being lazy)

4) Save the money I would spend on a lip and paint and install (prob like 350-400) and just buy a new front bumper since it has a lot of rock chips already (only had it since april) And do it right this time and put a clear bra on it to prevent rock chips.

5) Save up even more and get a kaminari kit (how much would this cost with paint (BSP) and installation)

 

Sharpies are the ****. My old car was silver, and the silver sharpie was like a paint pen, and matched almost perfectly. Great little trick.

 

Seriously, no point in fixing this if it's not visible without actually looking for it. It's bound to happen again. If you get the lip kit, it will just be easier to scuff it.

 

This is a large area though to use a sharpie dont you think? I would imagine it is going to be noticeable and ghetto looking and most likely off color.

 

Whoops, I thought this was the other "I scraped my bumper" thread.

 

bump, tried to organize my options and included questions under each choice in bold on page 2 up above. Thanks for your time everyone. Any information, questions answered will be appreciated. And thank you to all that have provided input already. Losing sleep over this.

 

You know what's crazy? I got a scratch on my front bumper EXACTLY like that at the EXACT location. I'm also trying to figure out what to do with it.

I was thinking maybe lip kit, but I'm gonna lower my car, so that's iffy.

 

hahha, yea i didnt realize it for a while until the dreaded wash and wax. I love the way my car looks after it, but I am always finding new stuff during the process. It had to be from the parking. I dont parallel park often and I noticed it a few days after one of the few times I did. It is going to be my downfall. Does it bother you? My OCD probably doesn't help the fact. Horrible disorder.

 

It bothers me SO much. I have to look at it every time I get out of my car. It's like train wreck, you just can't stop staring.

 

get a lip kit. easy fiz and relatively inexpensive. just watch it next time.

 

Which lip kit would give me more clearance? I'm trying to lower my car on Hotchkis springs in the near future.

It's either the Rs1 lip kit, or the Visage one.
