I drove my old sti way lower than the brz stock and never scraped anything. I guess it depends on where you live, but I still have not come close to scraping anything at all in my BRZ. Driving a lowered car for so long probably has helped.

Yeah I know, lol. I had to turn left on a 4 lane road in Boston and you usually don't get many opportunities, so as I was turning in I had to quickly get into the parking lot or get t-boned, of course there was a significant bump as I entered...

i hope you were NOT traversing 4 lanes of traffic to make that turn!
if it's beantown,it would be a safe bet you did!..tough to get caught in the wrong lane in there...just sayin'

I have white scratch marks on the underside of my bumper.

I try to not think about it anymore. I'm getting xpel ultimate applied tomorrow to the entire front up to the roof. I'm trying my best not to damage it anymore. Good luck to everyone else!

2 lanes each direction, I was in the left lane turning left. Crossed 2 lanes of traffic on a 4 lane road.

i hear ya! to be honest,the f**kin' place is STILL a toilet,even with
the "big dig" change! just too many vehicles with no place to go. it's
like a f**king bandbox!. i usually just dump at malden,and take the
orange line in.

my car is pretty damn low, but no major scrapes yet

OrbitalEllipses · 12-04-2012, 08:30 PM

Only scraping issues I've run into have been in parking lots. Not used to having such a low car...curbs make you wince.

Wattage · 12-05-2012, 12:24 PM

Scraped it the first day i owned it... backing out of my driveway. Felt like a damn idiot. No scrapes since

Andrew360 · 12-05-2012, 06:13 PM

I swear, that noise is worse than nails on a chalkboard.

Spray some clear plasti-dip under your bumper and it will protect it better from being scratched.
