how bad? If its the size of a dime or something than don't worry and throw some touch up on there and should be ok even if the damn honda touch up doesn't match that well.

If its bigger than that well maybe a few inches or so then maybe you can repaint if you want.

Where did you scrape it? How bad is it?

You're bound to scrape your front lip sooner or later. Either touch it up, buy a new lip, or live with it.

I wouldn't worry about it. This will not be the only scrape you will ever experience. I'd say don't buy another new lip becasue you are going to scrape that replacement also. Just live with it or touch it up if it is really bad.

Boy, I wish I have your kind of money to throw around.

If you can afford to buy a new lip after every scrape, you probably have a ton of money saved up. For me, I'll have to buy a wharehouse full of new lips because I scrape my front every other day.

i agree, . . i say go take a picture of it, so 6 months from now you will be able to look back and remember how good your lip used to look with only the 1 scrape

Yeah seriously, first scrape I had was pretty big, I sanded and used touch up, it was low enough down you couldn't really tell.

Then I scratched and cracked and tried to repair but it was horrible. I took it off and got it fixed for $150usd around and it's better than new.
