Scrape much?
 
I just scraped the entire underside of my front bumper leaving a parking lot. I thought I could clear it without going sideways but I guess I was wrong. Does anyone else have scrape marks on the underside of the painted part of the bumper? This completely ruined my night. :cry:

Up my friend's drive way, into the garage. Yes, I too have suffered, there's a thread about this already

Tonight I was reminded of my driveway slope.. ugh.

I doubt there is a car as low as ours that hasn't scraped the bottom of the front lip. I certainly try not to do it but the few times I've tapped I don't worry about it. Just be sure you don't run into these pre-cast concrete curbs in parking lots. You'll do more than scrape the bottom.

Gotta be careful, fellas

I did it but on a big rock that was on hwy 1 in cali on my way to Carmel had no place to go but to hit it and it left a nasty mark on the bottom.

Sigh.. This happened in less than a month of ownership. I'm going sideways over any kind of bump from now on.

Pete156 11-22-2012 01:33 AM

Wow, this threads a hoppin'

Holy cow dude, lose some weight!








Just kid din'


:D

That really sucks. I have a lowered GTI and it almost never scrapes. The brz's front lip is too far away from the wheels in my opinion.

im 2 inches lower than stock and i only scraped once, and that was the first drive after lowering the car

my clear bra took all the damage.

You must be a pro. I'm going to try to get a clear bra for my underside if I can have this fixed.

6 months and no scrapes! :scared0016: Though the bottom does have clear bra on, just in case. :)
