Scratched front bumper :(
Hey guys, I'm new to the forum. I got my 2007 SGM IS350 two days ago, fully loaded w/ factory navigation, Mark Levinson, Premium package, etc.
Unfortunately, I was driving and I scratched the bottom lip on the front bumper. No cracks, just scuffs and paint scratched down to the metal. This occurred when I was parking and got too close to the concrete block nose first.
Anyway, it seems to me I'm going to have to either do a series of paint touch ups (doesn't seem like a good idea for this situation) or buy a new lip. What is the better and cheaper choice? And is anyone willing to sell me an SGM lip, and preferably is in Toronto?
(Note that I can't go on the Classifieds forum yet since I just joined)
And I'm saying cheaper because I justttt got the car, and dropped over 20 grand, so I'm really pissed that this happened.
Any help would be greatly appreciated. Also, I will upload a pic as soon as I can.

Thanks, and I was thinking about the OEM GFX lip, and I am considering replica lips but I want one already painted. I'm trying to keep costs at a minimum.

Can be a bit closer such that you have like 1/2 foot from the curb.
My point of reference is, if you cannot see the curb behind your driver's side mirror, it means you are close (stop!!). This mainly works for a straight one. If it's diagonal such that the the curb side closets is on the passenger side, then you need to be very careful going in.
