You must be aware of driveways, speed bumps and those parking lot stops. Take driveways/speed bumps at a 45 degree angle. Learn where the front of your coupe is, doing all this might allow your bumper to survive for 2 years before it will need to be repainted...again! Gary
Thanks Gary !

I guess at this point I'll just leave it,
If Im still gonna have to be super cautious even at stock ride height I might as well learn to live with it.
Might look Into putting a thin piece of metal or something but we'll see

Thanks guys

I had installed a piece of garage door rubber liner underneath the front bumper. It helped drastically while it lasted but it does get chewed away rather quickly. Like you said you can pretty easily cat yourself a piece of sheet metal and just screw that underneath and problem solved. Tolboothwilly sells a sorta splitter thing that might help.

Did you just put on the garage door rubber liner with some double sided tape? how did you get it to not just pull off everytime it scraped

Get the kinetix v2 front a-arms. Half the price of SPC, and more adjustability.
