Scratched? MORE LIKE SCRAPED!!! - Page 2 - Toyota Yaris Forums

Thanks for the OP and the comments on this one... Yesterday, I noticed my 1 month-old Bayou Blue LB had some nasty scrapes on the front plastic piece by the tire. (I guess I should call it a bumper, but its such a large piece...) Looks like someone scraped it in a parking lot.

Side note: I'd always thought those guys who drove new cars, and parked in the back of an empty parking lot were a**holes- until now.

I was about to post a pic, and ask impressions, but then I found this thread... Pretty much similar damage.

And here I was last night, thinking I should probably just buy a new assembly in the factory color. I'm a new-car n00b, and prior to this car, I'd never worried about cosmetics.

I'll at least try to buff it out first, then hit it with some Scratch X.

Thanks!
