Scraped the front of my car on the road :(

First scape, two and a half weeks in. I was coming down a slope and well yeah you know the rest.

I felt the bottom of the car and it looks like it only scraped the bottom for like an inch or two. I have to see with light tomorrow morning.

Is there any recourse for fixing these kind of scrapes?

If you can't see it, why worry about it?

Can u imagine those guys with the lowed cars? I would laugh so hard if one of those lowed car hit this slop and it's bumper fall off.

One solution is to go at an angle.

I scrap every now and then on steep driveways, more so my exhaust scraps more then my front, and I'm on TRD springs. Butttttt, I'm still planning on going lower.

Just take them at an angle, it does become habit fairly easily.

Or make the home depot lip.
