Damn I gotta watch out.

I would just go buy some touch up paint and fix it myself. Whole thing shouldn't cost more than 50bux. I followed this writeup when I scratched the hell out of my bumper on my rsx.

Thanks for the link. Its a good read to bad the pics wouldnt pull up. I think im gonna just leave it for now and get a whole new lip kit later on down the road. To much of a hassel for now. It has a bunch more scratches anyway but they are all underneith so they arent visible.

I personally would just repaint the front lip, and then claim the little bit of damage on the edge of the front bumper through Honda. lol Blame it on the infamous "paint peeling" issue Honda Fits are notorious for having.

OT: but is the paint peeling rumor true? Seems to happen to all 'b-segment' cars. The xBs are supposed to be notorious for it also, though i haven't had the problem with mine

Tenchu, there's actually a topic roughly 10+ pages long on here with people, myself included, whom have unfortunately had the paint peeling issue occur already on either the front or rear bumper of the Honda Fit. It seems to be a pretty common occurrence, although with the Honda Fit there seems to be a number of them.

I might repaint it or use the badaid idea but not gonna take it to honda and play the peeling paint game. Not my thing to try to screw Honda over like that. Im thinking about down the road repainting the whole car. My buddy does custom paint jobs so maybe thats an option but for now im just gonna live with it. Thanks for the advice everyone.
