Long story short, Parents took the Zupra to the hardware store and scraped the underside on a concrete parking stop. You guys think its worth it to fix or should I just slap a carbon fiber lip on it to cover it?

Had you had CF on there, it would have broken. Cars get scraped and banged up under there. It's just going to happen. If you want a CF lip, get a CF lip, but I would definitely not bother to fix that up.

Slight dab of touch-up spread along the scratch. So far back its not real noticeable is it? You will get more minor wear there with just normal use as well.

Prob not worth fixing. I know it sucks. Same thing happened to me, and I did it and had no one to blame but myself ha. I wanted to punch myself. Luckily that angle isn't noticeable from the outside unless you stick yr head under the car, specifically at that angle. With the reflection of the ground, that also helps hide any scrapes to that area as well.

Slept on it and feeling much better about it now. Thinking of going the touch up paint route just for peace of mind, plus gives me an excuse to cover up some of these damn rock chips. Also thinking of just slapping a CF lip on there and tryna forget about it. Love the support on the forums here ❤

Our cars are low, with a significant front overhang, and a design that makes it practically impossible to know where the car ends, even with parking sensors. Scrapes are guaranteed, even at stock ride height. I made peace with that notion in the first 24 hours of ownership.

Also, Toyota went a little out of their way to keep the three black front spoiler pieces affordable, at MSRPs of $54.16 for the center, and $58.30 for the side pieces respectively.

What's that brand that I keep seeing on IG. Scrape guard or something.
Haven't done it myself but it's worth not having to worry about unforeseen bumper scratches...

Or there's an expensive, vehicle specific product called ScrapeArmor or something...

If I can’t see it without getting on my hands and knees to look up under the car then I could not care less what it looks like…
