certain coil over companies make air lifts for the front only for this type of issue..but that's an expensive route to go.
maybe get some steel plates you can put down that don't block waterflow?

I use ISC Surface Guard Tape on the front/bottom surface of my bumper. If you scrape bad enough it will get pulled off, but gives pretty good overall protection.

Maybe some of your neighbors are having the same issue and you could pool funds

Works as long as you are not someplace that gets snow. One snowplow pass and things could go horribly, horribly wrong in a hurry.

I've had good results with this stuff http://www.aquaphalt.com
I always scraped at the end of my driveway at anything over a very slow roll. I filled in the dip with this stuff, and it's fine now —*I can coast through in second gear if I want. I used my pressure washer to clear all the dirt out of the dip, then filled with this stuff. |

I have the same issue. It's on the bottom of the car so no one sees it, so I've learned to just live with it. Besides, it's just plastic.

I actually passed on an otherwise nice house because I scraped my FRS bumper on the driveway lip. That damage still makes me sad every time I change the oil.... |
