Front Lip Curb Rash

So my gf decided to find out how close she could get to the parking block today and put about a 3 inch wide scrape into the underside of the front lip. Has anyone had any success in repairing this themselves ?

that's what you get for finding out how close you can get to the parking block.

More like...that's what you get for letting the gf drive this thing. Just kidding...!

On a more serious note, I would just leave it alone and won't worry about it too much...since it is on the underside, it won't be noticeable plus it's not metal or anything, so it will not rust. It will happen to everyone sooner or later...

If you are really paranoid and the car is SWP or something, get touch up paint just to cover it up a little bit...

Got one of these while going into my friend's drive way, a short >30 degree incline into his garage was enough to hear a loud scrape. Jesus, inclines over 15 degrees should be freakin' banned.
