Ive done this a few times . Im lowered on S Techs so im as low as you can get without coilovers . I scraped a parking block and scraped my lip . Thing that ____es me off is it is partly visible so im going to have to do something !

Ah, yes. When you're lowered, parking blocks are BAD BAD BAD. I found out the hard way just a couple of days after I got lowered. It's pretty easy to go forwards onto them, but it's a sunova_____ trying to reverse to get off of them once you get snagged. Now I always park backwards just to avoid taking the chance.

Throw some touch up paint on it and call it a day. It's bound to happen again, especially if you plan on lowering it.

Here are some pics of the Scion (where the scratch is):

.....I need to clean my car - wow..

dude nobodys gonna see that unless theyre like a foot tall. i know youre upset cause you scraped (god knows i was the first time it happened to me) but itll happen more times for as long as you have that car. especially if you lower it. and lowering these cars is a MUST. they look like crap all jacked up with all that wheel gap.

if you want, get some touch up paint, but trust me. you'll get many more of those.

wow that is nothing and since your on stock and sad about it. IMO don't go lower cause it will happen alot and the bottom will have a bunch of those scrapes if your gonna be upset about it.

so um... this should make you feel better:

c/f lip #1:

had the lip for three days before i ran over a tree branch that fell in the road on a wet/windy day!! destroyed the lip

c/f lip #2:

had the lip for about 2.5 weeks, driving home last night from a friends party, stupid rabbit(very cute little bunny rabbit, looked like a baby) decided to cross in front of me, go to the next lane, the come back in front of me... thought i could go over it... NOPE, slammed right into it, killed the little bunny wabbit, and destroyed lip #2

c/f lip #3:

c'mon, how stupid do you guys think i am, ABS plastic lip on order hahahaha

bigwillystyle23

lmao^^ you have bad luck with lips. perhaps one made out of stainless steel would be better for you.

SW_08

^^ lol

yea what bigwillystyle23 said....

a_german_named_hans

get a stainless steel one and sharpen it to a blade. You'd run over atleast... half of the rabbit
