So I was going down a ramp onto the street then suddenly I hear a loud grating noise in front. Turns out that the underside of my front HFP lip has a really big scratch/gash(5 inches by 3 inches maybe) on one side and a small scratch on the other so I can see the black part showing.

You can only see it if you actually look under the car. Now what do you guys think, should i fix it myself of just leave it be since it cant be seen anyway? I'm just worried that the paint at the scratch will start peeling and spreading after a while.

The HFP lips are made of what? fiberglass? sheet metal?
