If I hit a driveway straight-on then I scrape and my car height is stock. I would suggest going at an angle EVERY time. Take no chances.

What if you buy one of those carbon fiber splitters that go on the bottom of the front bumper. That way it will protect your bumper from scratches.

i guess that would work... but i was thinking more of a 3M type of gaurd...

I have splitters, and they rub all the time, but my bumper is safe

Mike. ur gonna have to angle drive and down things often... to be honest... mike a guard.. is pointless u won't scrap going sideways... trust me. im MUCH lower then u with a LOWER kit and a LOWER coilover set. and i can still clear things barely.. so for u. u should have no problem

wow 250 for two slabs of cf? gahh

i think they have some split splitters for less than that. I think 150? Good quality stuff though I scrape a lot and they are still holding up pretty strong.

They're shipping is pretty slow though.

I used to scrape with just the appearance package, and that was before I got springs.

my car is slammed andi scraped my front stock bumper with no appearance package approaching a driveway.. since then the angle method is the best...no problems except scraping the under-carriage on speed-breakers -- not speed bumps...

Yeah , go in an angle , your chances would be alot less.
