Replace or leave on? Nicked an engine cover.
#3
It might help to see a picture of what the scar actually is. It might be light enough to hand polish or rub out to a respectable appearance. If that is not the case, if it was me I would replace it, but I am picky that way. That cover will cost about $135, plus some of your time to remove and replace.

If your car was scraped or dinged, would you have it fixed? Again, if it was me I would because of the picky factor, preserving the car, and thinking of trade in or resale value down the road. The exception would be some of the cheap beaters I have had over the years that were just to get me to and from work, and in that case I didnt care if they got dinged up or not.
