Get yourself a bottle of touch-up paint and touch-up any scrapes. Because it's so low you don't notice it unless you get down on you hands and knees and look.

My front bumper was all scratched up, and you could see the scratches just standing a few feet away from the car (my car is GPW, so the scratches are very easy to spot). I decided to get the OEM front under spoiler when I found it for a much cheaper price at HandA. My local dealership was asking $550 installed, which is just ridiculous compared to the price at HandA ($350). The front under spoiler lowers the car a little bit more, so you have to be even more careful when driving/parking. After I installed the spoiler, the scratches were completely covered, and the car looks much better/more aggressive.

Wet sand with 2000 grit sandpaper, mask and use an airbrush to shoot thinned touch-up paint. At that point it will look like crap and you will call the virtue of my mother into question. But, then wrap a palm sander in a damp terrycloth towel, apply Kit Scratch Out to the towel and spend about 30 minutes buffing. The color will be even (unlike brush on paint) and the Scratch Out will bring out the appropriate gloss. Just experiment with getting the right paint/thinner mix before shooting.
