rusting tow hook

celeron_266

scratched the front bottom of a 08 civic coupe yesterday by going through a down-slope too quickly....extremely loud noise...probably some metal-ground grinding...didnt check last night since it was raining

checked today...
no leakage of fluid whatsoever...the car runs fine...no overheating...no weird noises
2 small scraches at the bottom part of the bumper....its plastic so i dont really care
the main cocern is the front tow hook...which is quite badly scratched....and apparently there is some rust at the surface

should i be concerned about the rust on the tow hook?...should i do something about it (all i have is some touch-up paint, and i park outdoors)...

is there anywhere of the car that i should take a look?

or are you saying that most car's tow hook are scraped?
