How bad does this scratch look?
Just picked up a 2014 BRZ. Let my mom park the car and she hit the curb. Theres a 1 inch scratch at the very bottom of the front right bumper. Does this look like an expensive fix?

looks too large for simple touch up paint, but it may be possible? not sure. I hever used touch up for more than a tiny spot or scratch. Looks like a lot more involved than a simple touch up.
Stop by a body shop and ask them. Alternative is to get a lip that covers that part.

It's so low on the bumper I would just do a tidy touch up job and forget it.

Yep! It may be the first but probably not the last. Touch it up and even though you will know it is there nobody else will likely ever notice.

If you plan to drive it daily, you will eventually get worse marks than that...

Just use touch up paint. It's in a very low area that most people will miss anyways.
