If your just scraping the underneath fo your front bumper then that isn't so bad. There's also an additional lip further back and underneath on the 06 sport bumper that gets scraped a lot.
If your too low you can actually get some scrappage off your resonators on your exhaust or worse off the steel braided flex area of your y-pipe which can tear and cause a hole.

Try approaching the incline at an angle if possible. You could also try backing over the bump if possible(unlikely). Our cars have a lot more clearance in the back than in the front and I used to have to do this every day for a while when they were working on my street and there was a huge bump going into my driveway.

Yeah i always reverse into parking spaces at the mart. They always mark them bays out with big kerb stones, no problem at the rear of the car for clearence though.Originally Posted by partyman66

I scrape everyday. I can hear the plastic and it kills me. I have to pull up to a parking bumper, its the only way i can get all the way under the carport and be completely out of the road.

Maybe since you scrape every day, one day the scraping will stop since you've scraped so much off!Originally Posted by izmir41500

sounds like a plan. I need to look under the front bumper to see what exactly i'm scraping. i've seen the corvettes where the black plastic piece under the front bumper is hangin.

It's not that bad if you can't really see it. I scrape my Kuruma everyday lol.. fortunately with all the scraping and the "practicing" of my scrapage.. I can avoid 90% of the scraping when I get my bumper redone.

well when i took my bumper off i realized that that little black piece is connected to the bumper with some bumper clips, so im guessing if u scrape hard you could tear a piece outa your bumper.Originally Posted by dream_G35
