!! running over a curb

Crap... I just ran over a small curb last night on my front right side.. I was backing out of a driveway and then I turned all the way left and gased it. then i heard a scrape CCCCKKK sound. I was going about 5-10mph. The very bottem of the front is all scraped up.

What kinda of problems am I looking out for ? My car isn't lowered I got the base 08 model. I'm pretty worried =(

i have the sport 08, which is even lower because theres a lower frotn bumper, but really, theres nothing to worry about, its just "plastic" that you scraped heh unless your car was actaully lifted when it over the curb heh no worries my man

i was in an accident 2wks ago where some guy in a truck
pushed me into the median after cutting me off. have to say
car got a $2K+ repair estimate and pretty banged up.

but as far as damages go on that side of the car that hit the
curb i can't find any major problems. there's really nothing on
the Fit's suspension...so basic that it's pretty strong if that
makes any sense. hahahaa

do some touchup and get an alignment if needed. in my
case my wheel is pretty badly scratched and slightly bent
on the rip so it will be replaced, but no big deal on that
side of the car.
