Default Scrapes Let's Show Them
Well, I was thinking about the scrapes that I have on the bumper and was wondering if anyone has these infamous scrapes on their bumpers. I happened to have the bumper off of the car so I had the means to take some pics. Well, here is mine.

your cars not low enough unless you have those scrapes, haha. The nice thing about them is you could just throw on some touch up paint and its not even noticeable at all.
