Hahaha... that sucks... Now that I got that out of my system...

Did you buy this used???????????

First, I'd get some rattle can and respray the whole thing (tape off logos). So smooth out the scratches as best you can... yada yada yada...

I'm assuming you would like this to look good again.

Other than that you when you install it make sure to position it so that it does not rub in the fender lining. You could also aid this by getting some "bleeder" hose, slice it, and use it to line the fender to protect it from damaging the intake.

Missing paint? Repaint or powdercoat it. Or buy a new intake. Isnt this kind of obvious, or am I missing something?

sand the area a bit to smooth it and paint or powder coat it

Sandblast it, take a file to it. If you want, buff it so it's shiny. Then paint the fucker.

As long as it hasn't worn through, I'd wrap the rubbing portions in something soft yet strong to prevent further damage. Heat wrap works well, and serves a much greater purpose too! Two birds with one stone, as they say.

Yeah, it'd just try and pry the bump out as best you can. Try hitting it from the inside with a hammer and punch.

Ooh, yeah, that bump will give you lots of nice turbulence. Just looks like a scuff from here, though. Dunno, man.

I'd sand it down and re-spray it. go get a color that matches the car

Here's how to fix it:

1) Move a trashcan under the window of a room on the second floor or higher of your house or apartment.
2) Go up to that room and open that window.
3) Shout "Fuck you *person or company who sold you the part here* you mother fucker(s)!" as you throw the part down into the trashcan as hard as you can from the window in an attempt to FUBAR it.
4) Close window and go back to living life, playing video games, and/or screwing your girl.
