Approach angle

Lots of people have it happens. You can get a rubberized lip off ebay for fairly cheap and extend the life of your bumper.

Yeah, the one place I have the biggest problem with my Miata is where my driveway meets the street. I have to approach it at an angle. I'm sure it'll be the same with the FR-S.

Texas roads sucks but as of now i haven't, Like 3 post up approach at an angle

i have, sadly. twice, on the same parking lot entrance that has a slight hump.
First time i was still getting use to the car and this lot had a dip before the ramp up.
second time, approached at a angle, making sure i was being careful, still ended up scraping a bit.

now i just avoid that store or park outside.

I dont think I have. Shiz, I should check it out. I never pay attention, but I usually don't go too fast when entering or exiting a sloped area.

Same. I had a jetta and my oil pan was a little under 2" from the ground, something that would scrape my BRZ lip would destroy my jetta.

I drive to hard to worry about this!!!

Mine is already very scratched, but being low and having a shitty driveway is a bummer. Luckily I don't CARE!

Done it twice, same spot....hasn't happened since. I'm hoping to cover it with a body kit or lip later on:)
