Buy a body kit, but don't buy the whole thing if you don't want to pay a lot

You will go broke chasing every bruise bump and scrape. Sand it down and spray it with a close color. If it's on the bottom you will never know. I "fixed" a scrape I had on the Fit with some similar colored polycarbonate paint I had laying around.

Im assuming that you're on stock height when you scrapped the front. I'd suggest not to get the 5:ad kit. I have the kit and im dropped on tien h-tech, im scrapping the "fang" part of the lip often when i go in and out driveways that have steep inclines or the cement block guards, whether i slice the incline or not. If you do get the kit, be sure you've got touch-up paint ready so you can just cover up the scrapped part. Whenever you're dropped you are bound to scrape one way or another.

This happened to me too as I was going down the curb ramp leaving the parking lot at my work. The ramp is super narrow and pretty steep so there's no way to come out at an angle. I was going super slow but I still heard the scraping noise. When I got home and checked it out I saw that it was on the flat bottom surface where it's impossible to see unless you are looking under the front of the car. Sure I was upset but as long as it's not noticeable then it shouldn't be a big deal.

And the moral of the story is, Back into your parking spaces.

It's ... A... Car... Fix it then wrap it in screen protectors and bubble wrap.. Or just not care get over it and drive it.. Your first oppss already happened and out of the way.. Just enjoy the car now :)

I scraped mine on my parents driveway and the black on white made it stand out pretty bad. I got a touch up paint kit from Subaru for $20 and did some sanding and then brushed on the paint. It's not perfect but you'd have to be looking at it to tell it was repaired, instead of drawing the eye like it did before.
