Scrape much? - Toyota GR86, 86, FR-S and Subaru BRZ Forum & Owners Community

Andrew360 · 11-22-2012, 12:10 AM

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.

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, 12:33 AM

Wow, this threads a hoppin'

carbonBLUE · 11-22-2012, 12:33 AM

Meh

Pete156 · 11-22-2012, 12:36 AM

Holy cow dude, lose some weight!

Just kid din'

Andrew360 · 11-22-2012, 12:36 AM

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!

Though the bottom does have clear bra on, just in case.
