scratch :(
came back to my TL today to find a few scratches on the leftside of the front bumper
. the scratches aren't too deep or long (2 in) but they are still visible. i was wondering what you guys would recommend me do? is there anyway to fix it myself w/out taking it to the dealer?

wax, polish...
First, clean off the bumper with soap and water. Then try a clay bar, then a small amount of wax to see if that takes out the scratches.
If scratches remain, move to polishing compound. Then apply wax to protect the area! That will take care of most scratches that don't get to the primer coat. I've had several "scratches" I've waxed out several (including a 4-foot long, 1 inch high one on the TL sustained at Home Depot) that turned out to be surface coating of other vehicles' bumpers, with no creasing of the sheet metal or damage to paint on my cars.
Some people are discourteous or oblivious in parking lots.
