scraped my front bumper [pic included]

[rallye_red_girl]

I was parking downtown in chicago friday night and kinda went too cclose to the curb and scraped my front bumper, it shows a little bit on the front.
You can't see it too much unless u squat down and look. I'm just debating on whether or not I would get it fixed or leave it alone. I am new to this forum and not too knowledgable about cars. So give me your opinions! Thanks =]

okay, where can I get that? at the dealership?
sorry, I'm a noob at this. >.<

[vincenzo718]

yes dealership or maybe like autozone

[NYhUStLA914]

i think the dealerships should have them. call a dealership up and ask if they have and how much. or u can buy the hfp front lip kit to cover it up and make it look alot better

[imtehman]

you could get touch-up paint at any wal-mart, just make sure it's rally red. I've got dings like that all over my car and used touch up paint on all of them.

You should try and smooth it out a bit before putting the touch-up paint on - looks like there's some paint hanging here and there.

autozone carries the proper honda rallye red touch-up paint. it's something like $6 for a little bottle. at least it's not in a very noticeable spot!

[wowwitsgau]

What I would do is get the HFP lip kit, or at least for the front. Itll cover it up, and plus it looks great!

how would you recommend I smooth it out?
sorry I honestly don't know much. >.<

Dealer should give you the first thing of touch up paint free.

give it a good wash in the area to remove any debris.

and take a blade or xacto knife to take care of the rest.

yea I'll consider that, but I don't quite have the money for it at the atm. =/

[obert]

Been there done that too man,sorry to see it.

[rallye_red_girl]

thanks for all your opinions =]
i appreciate it!

[Yodums]

I think you're better off leaving it as is. Touching up paint of that size won't look good at all either.

[Baisa 11Bravo]

yea it doesnt look that bad. you could always put the HFP front lip on and it will cover it right up.

This is a sign from god to get the HFP front lip to cover that baby up.

lol I suppose.
I'm just crazy paranoid and like to have my
car look like the day I bought it.
if I do get it, I have no idea how to put it together.
>.<
also, would it look odd if I only get the front lip and not the sides or rear?

[bape_lovers]

I'd say touch it up as best you can for now. Save money and get the whole kit. I dont think it would look good with just the front. IMO

Its not too too horrible feel your pain.
