Scratched front bumper

I recently bought a brand new is250 and today i scratched the bottom of the front bumper while parking

its a 2012 white awd

you can't really see it unless you crouch down but when you do it looks pretty bad, maybe its just me but i was wondering what i can do about it this is my first car and im new to this stuff. thanks in advance

since you can't see it, i wouldn't really worry about it. it's not worth it to fix it.

i am pretty sure you're looking at painting the whole bumper which isn't cheap. You never know when you might scratch it again so i would leave it as is, especially since no one can see it!

Have the bumper fixed by a good body shop. On a Pearl White car expect to pay $250-300

If it's way down low, you can try buying the paint pens and painting it with the included brush under the cap. I did that once with my ES350 and it turned out a lot better than I thought. Color was black though so I'm not sure if it'll make a difference.
