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.

That's what the bottom of the bumper is made for lol
It happened to me too and I didn't bother because you can't see it unless you literally put your head below the car
Also it's not metal so no need to worry about rusting
If it bothers you that much get a lip kit

Usually people buy it off ebay which is cheaper. But if you don't want to order online then there's a possible chance of there being a local seller in your area, but it'll most likely be a bit more expensive. You can just search it up on YouTube, there are tons of tutorials on how to do it. Yes it has adhesive, but if if you don't plan on taking it off or you'll be driving in the rain/snow a lot I'd recommend you buying some kind of Adhesive spray so it doesn't peal half way through winter.
