Default Well.....it had to happen eventually.....

My car got its first wound today. Coming out of a new touchless car wash. The exit ramp onto the road was a bit steep and the bottom edge of the front lip scraped. Nothing too bad. You can't see it from above, but it's definitely visible if you get down to front lip level. About a 2" wide scrape along the front lower edge of the lip.

My dilemma is whether or not to get it fixed or not. It isn't *that* visible fro the most part, and this is a high risk area in general.

Also, I can just see going to the body shop and almost getting laughed at for wanting such a minimally visible thing fixed. Sometimes I wish I wasn't so damn ****!!!!

What do you all think....should I:

a.) Get if fixed professionally
b.) Do the best touch-up job I can myself and be happy
c.) Do nothing since, for the most part, I will be the only one who will really notices that it's there unless someone else gets down on their hands and knees.

Default You do know that if you repair it, you will only damage it again.

If it is not very visible, live with it.

C. It won't be the last time you scrape that area.

What color? I'd touch it up myself. Again, and again.

A. I'd always know it was there and my eye would be drawn to it every time. Sorry.
