^Post a pic of the car. Taking inclines at an angle or at the proper speed will help with the scraping problem.

My dad is suggesting drilling a hole through the mount, and then grinding so that it becomes a notch,

Does it scrape with other bumpers? This is my first car so I was wondering if this is common? Or does it usually happen with certain bumpers.

Look at the upload size quota, its extremely low. I often just host my pictures on imgur and point to them here.

That GTR bumper doesn't flow with the car IMO and it looks like it hangs lower then most. You could just find another bumper that doesn't sit as low.

Can you recommend me a front bumper that shouldn't scrape/looks nice? Thanks for all your help by the way...

MMkay, I've been searching for the last 4 hours and not finding what I came for. I know it's here because others have found it but I'm at work and I can't dedicate the time it takes to reading every post I find. Too many with mods in their sigs. I'm looking for info on the MREV items. Specifically what they are and what they do. I've gathered that they're a lower intake manifold but what are the major differences and is there one for my 04 6MT Sedan? I found the one on motordyne's website but it says it's a Revup item.

Can you guys help me out, please?
