The bumper doesnt need any reinforcing... its just too low. And i'd rather not drill holes in the bumper to prevent it from being damaged

You sure its the bumper and not the plastic under carriage cover ? either way you gotta learn to drive being lowered , taking angles instead of straight up and down inclines and declines.

btw nice progress with the coupe

I'm not that worried, I just want to take the best care of it that I can. Ittl only get worse once I drop an inch

Yes the actual bumper is scraping. I'm trying to hit all bumps at a 45* angle but my driveway is very uneven which I think is the main source of the scrapes. I'm sure as time goes on i'll get much better at it.

Exhaust sounds so badass. Such a deep growl and like twice as loud lol.
The tips aren't perfectly aligned but the difference isnt easy to notice. Looks worse than it is in the pic since my driveway is uneven
