Bottom front grill question
I wanted to know if anyone has ever repaired or knows how to repair scraps on the bottom of the front molding. Pulled up to far in parking lot and scrapped the bottom on the concrete parking block. I figured there is a way to buff it out or something.

Might contact your dealer. Mine has a crew come by once per week that does touch up repairs to cars. Many other make dealers also offer same services.

It is very common to have the bottom of the front "spoiler" scratched up. I had in my 2011 and have it (already was when took the car) on my 2010 model now.
I would not do anything to it before ready to trade the car in. I would call this normal wear-and-tear as these fronts are so very low.

I just scraped mine about 2 weeks ago...I felt my stomach turn when I heard the spoiler hit the curb
. Later, while running my hand across the bottom, i could feel some pretty deep scratches. But, in the end, as others have said, you can't see it, so it's probably going to stay that way.

Just use touchup paint on the bottom of the bumper scuffs. Since it's so low, it'll bother the hell out of us who know it's there, but is literally impossible to see. Touchup paint in such a low area looks perfectly like real paint, and gives you some peace of mind.
Also, definitely don't spend $400 to fix ANYTHING on the front bumper! You can get a completely high quality paint job on the whole bumper for that price or less.
