Has anybody scraped front underbumper yet? - Page 2 - Toyota GR86, 86, FR-S and Subaru BRZ Forum & Owners Community

Just once on a steep drive way, that black piece of plastic after the bumper is a bit scuffed, but nothing on the bumper for now.

The underside of my car is all scraped up. I clip my exhaust and the diff daily... I also scrap something in the center of the car daily. I live off what used to be a road but has deteriorated to a dirt road and the exit for my parking garage at work is extremely steep. I do manage to get my car sideways every single day though. Mainly this is due to going airborne on a dirt road.

I imagine I will...the girlfriend likes to go to the animal shelter a lot and their driveway is like driving down Mt. Everest, so we will see...

First day I pulled up in a parking spot too far. Did it again a week later. I have now learned where the front of the car is. The scrapes were not that bad and almost came clean with scrubbing. Since then I had the guys that did my bra install a flat black piece on that lower lip. The scratches you see there are from leaving the parking garage at work.

I haven't even though where my driveway/road meet is pretty steep. I imagine having a couple of lowered Miatas helped me hone my approach angle tactics.

Twice on the same exit :/ cant imagine when i lower the car how much im gonna need to angle

tintumz22 · 08-30-2012, 02:21 PM

Good to hear I'm not alone.. But TOTALLY my fault cuz my first time having a lowered car like this.

But now is different. like everybody else mentioned "approach with an angle" I swore to my 86 that I'll be more careful.. haa!

I did a mountain run up to Big Bear lake, and the mountain took a bite out of my car. I had a blast driving up the mountain though.
The way I look at it, now I have an excuse to get a lip kit!

It's best not to look down there...

ft86Fan · 08-30-2012, 04:08 PM

Mine was scratched up even before I picked up the car from the dealer.

jesseps · 08-30-2012, 05:12 PM

In the first few days of having the car I scraped the point part of the front bumper

and there is a nice scrape on the side from a month ago

itsibarra · 08-30-2012, 06:05 PM

backing into the driveway the first week i had my car. i had no angle to enter because of bushes and my mom hogging all of the space. I thought i could go slow, but i hear a slight scratch noise.. left 4 tiny wolverine shaped scratches underneath

. Never hurt her since.
