Front bumper scrapes

Just curious how often you guys get bumper scrapes. Just scraped my bumper when parking and I just nicked the curb. Damn that sucks! Well thats my second scrape

Yeah, it really sucks. I have one on the side of the bumper. It looks like someone backed into me and scraped all the paint off. It looks really ugly.

Ya ever try to touch it up? Probably won't do any good but at least it will cover the black areas.

I scrape about once a month... never anything too bad, and it's always on the bottom. I do have a lot of close calls on little dips:



Here's the hell I go through getting into my driveway alone:

No scrapes really, but lots of rock chips. Stupid trucks....
