WOW is funny how a $20 HD lip gets some of yall feelings butt hurt. The lip has taken no beating and it is not flapping. The reason it looks the way it does is because the way the karuma z front bumper is designed from the bottom, it dips up a bit in the middle which is why the middle looks different from the sides, not like the nismo front which is all flat from the bottom.
The lip was put on so i didnt scrapped the bottom of my bumper driving that low from houston to austin and back, here are some pics of what the car looks like without it...









The End.

It just takes practice. I scraped my Honda many times before I finally learned how to drive a lowered car.

Go slow over bumps and dips. Angle so you dont have the front end diving straight into the ground. Depending on the situation (dip or bump) you may have to angle more than others. Sometimes if there's a driveway for cars to come in and go out, I let all the other cars come out and go from the exit and angle so when I go through the entrance there's no scraping.

Sometimes you just can't do that with limited space so you either back up (if you can), deal with possible damages, or avoid certain places by knowing the area.

^Keep an eye out
learn your clearance, what you can and cant clear
learn your roads you drive

I've memorized just about every dip/pothole/etc on all the freeways i drive and streets lol

Knowing where you are going also plays a major role in driving a lowered vehicle as well.

But Donpisto pretty much nailed it. Angle when you go up inclines and never go straight into or down a driveway or dip. Even if the dip or bump doesn't look that deep, angle it anyway so that way you get into the habit of driving that way.

In steep driveways and parking lots, I generally look for another way in or out, mostly because if I think I can't make it up, I don't even try for risk of scraping my car. There are times where no matter how much you angle, you will scrape. Just take note of that.

Happy driving! Don't let it discourage you from enjoying your car though. Just takes some getting used to.

Man, i remember when I had major rubbing of my tires on the fender because my suspension wasn't set right. I'd literally have to burn in and burn out of driveways. Had to tell all the passengers to get out and still had to do that. Funny when a crowd is lookin at you from the club entrance trying to get in, but if you're dumped and don't have issues like that you get the faces.
