Does the sport lip scrape?

To those of you with the sport lip on stock suspensions, do you scrape on things that you normally wouldn't scrape on sans the lip?

Nope. You won't be scraping at stock height unless you try to drive over a parking block or a curb. At stock height, our cars are like 4x4's. Plus the lip does not really alter the ground clearance. Get it on already!

No problem! Had it for year and have never scraped. It's the same height as the bumper except that it sticks out a bit more.

It doesn't change the height but it does reduce the departure angle.

Really depends on where you drive man. Where I live you can scrape the black under fairing on a stock G at stock height if you're not careful.

For the most part I would agree with everyone else, but just watch what you're doing and you'll be fine.

you shouldn't scrape at stock height, but if you can, post up some pix when you have it on the car.

Will do. I'm gonna get it repainted to ivory pearl along with some other body work due to a minor accident.

Too bad they don't have them in Ivory Pearl. Been looking at them for a while but don't have the budget to buy it then repaint.
