Unhappy Scrapped front lip for the first time...

I was coming off a steep driveway from the bank and I didn't think it would scrap b/c I was going so slow...and now both sides are scrapped to hell :banghead:

I kept it in perfect condition until today...sigh...I guess I can lower my car w/o worrying as much about scrapping kus it already happened...

sorry need to vent...

On the bright side. When you scrap the front you can't really see it.

Yesterday my car went to the dealer to fix a rattle in the sunroof. As they are moving the car from the garage out the tech didn't see a random part on the ground and hit it. I have a one inch vertical dent in the front bumper of my car right below the driver side fog light. DOH!! They gave me a loaner to drive till the body shop can take care of it. At least they didn't say I brought the car in that way.
