you have for sure lost your mind. I hope your car isn't lowered otherwise you plan on going through 5 front bumpers a day.

Live with it, your probably the only person who obsesses about the minor damage.

LMAO.. don't worry. You just love your car way too much. I've felt that way before.. but just let the time fly by, it will go away... just a small scratch that you can't see unless u get up close to it.

or just go buy a lip to cover it up!

Haha. Been there done that. First time I scratch it, it pizzed me off. I sanded the shredded pieces off and went on with life. Pretty much forgot about it after awhile...

i've always been super "crazy" about all my cars.....i've learned through all the obsessing, heartache, pain, and money- its just not worth it.

unless its a major visual blemish, just let it go. nowadays, i literally scrub the bottom of my front bumper daily pulling out of my driveway.

its part of life. obviously scratches on the upper part of the car should be attended to.

i realized after i replaced an entire BBS "STi" rim 3 years ago for a rock chip that was maybe 1/8 of an inch- that i was out of control.

let it go. admire your minor war marks. keep up the car's appearance the best you can. DON'T OBSESS.
