Default Scratched my bumper/valence panel, what would you do?

Hey guys, I slid on some ice the other day and bumped a shopping cart corral. Thankfully the damage was minor and was not on metal. I could either have a body shop fix it, or put one of those Raptor LED lights there and in a symmetrical spot on the other side. I'm also open to ideas, but leaving it alone and dealing with it isn't going to happen. Thanks!

Why not try some touch up paint? Looks like you have a bunch of rock chips, I wouldn't worry about it unless your going to have the entire front end done..

Yeah, my front bumper does have a bunch of chips in it. I'm either going to repaint it or replace it with the closest thing I can find to a Raptor bumper. If I paint the bumper I'm going to wait until spring, and then put a clear bra on the bumper itself.
