I'd prefer OEM, but if you could point me in a direction of where I could get aftermarket or OEM that would be great.

Post a picture so we can see how bad it is.
Most good body work guys can fix anything for little more than the price of materials, if you find the right person willing to do it on the side, for some extra cash.

Easiest thing is to just cover it up with the cover up pen.

I wouldn't worry about it, cause the paint's so thin that you're gonna end up getting scratches everywhere else no matter what. 3M's just about the only defense, that and mud guards.

Hell I keyed my own car my accident like the 3rd time I washed it.

Picture of damage

Heres the damage on the driver side of the lower lip bumper. Its just as bad on the passenger side, I can upload the picutre of that for some reason but you should be able to tell. So what do you guys advise?
