Opinion (fix front bumper or not?)
Went out to get in my car today and noticed this on the front bumper, but I don't remember ever hitting anything. Do you think it is too deep to not fix or should I get it fixed?

If that's on the bottom of the bumper, use some touchup paint.

Yeah I was going to say the same thing. If it's in a discrete area, save your money and just use touchup paint. Won't look brand new but it's a quick patch.

Definitely too noticeable up close to not fix, but you should've taken the picture further away at a normal viewing distance.

Ouch! It might be cheaper to replace the whole bumper instead (versus paint job).

If it wasn't a Lexus id say just use touch up paint, but since its on your IS, fix it would be my opinion
