So my dad drove my car the other day and I heard something scrap (I assume it scraped underneath the car) but today I noticed that the front lip was scrapped. How much do you guys think it will cost to fix? I do have touch up paint, but I don't think it will look unnoticable if i apply it over the scrap.

sorry to hear!
Try touchup paint =)

just from the picture, it doesn't seem too bad. i'm sure if you reasonably applied some touch up paint to it, no one will notice unless you point it out for them.

You can't fix that!!! Throw it away and then you'll have to change your user name On a serious note you should be able to fix it with some touch up paint and a little wet sanding and buffing

It's not painted; no paint code.

Just curious, how did he manage to scrape the top of it?

get a closer pic if you could. for the grey part do a wrap of some sort carbon fiber or vinyl. To me it looks a little deep for touchup paint

Thanks man guess i was so mad I lost my ability to spell.
I think I am going to try some touch up paint first. I hope it looks unnoticeable.

lol. thanks
It was a dip in the road and it scraped when it came out of the dip in the road. I asked him about the next day and he said he think a rock hit it. I'm like WTF.

I'm thinking it too deep as well and it is still going to show even if I apply touchup paint, but it doesn't hurt to try. If I can't get it back to perfect or close enough where no one will tell, I'll probably take it to a shop.

Here is a close up.

Just fill the black part with a few coats of touch up paint until it is flush or protruding a little, then wet sand it with like 1500 grit and then buff it smooth. The grey part- I dont know cause its not painted

To get your Dad off the hook, I'd say that with the sharp cuts and protruding plastic, something hit the lip rather than the car standing on its nose and having scraped a portion of the roadway in that one area.
If you sand the painted area lighty to obtain a smooth surface, apply paint and clear properly, it will be fine. The unpainted lip, if it's the same shade throughout, sand it over a wider area to a smooth surface. A diifferent shade within, might then need to spray that piece, body color or trim black.
Only problem with touchup paint on the front, it certainly doesn't contain the elasticity that is to be mixed with the paint before application and will have a tendency to chip easily.
Good luck

It's not that bad. If you are lowered, your front A-Spec kit will see more abuse than that. Turbonut has a very good advice if you want to go that route to make it look "like new" again.
