I was thinking about lowering the car but I scraped the bottom of my car when going into a parking lot. There was a big hole on the floor that I didn't see.

 

haha I have scrapes below my front bumper and my car's not even lowered yet! Thank you Los Angeles!

 

depends on the driveway/ramp but yeah ive scraped on the high stuff.. as long as your careful your fine..

 

I scrap every damned day! Stupid driveway that narrow! Damn LA traffic!!!!

 

in the tC, not often, b/c its lowered w/ TRD lowering springs which dont' slam it, but give it more of a subtle lower-

in the intega, its dropped 2in on tein coilovers, and has a full 4 pc lip kit, so that one i scrape more often cause of potholes/dips/big deep driveways.....etc... some of the time it can be avoided if you drive very carefully and master the art of doing the angle into driveways and over dips though

 

yeah, but sometimes those dips and potholes can sneak up on ya sigh, been thinking about those TRD springs/struts...can't decide if I should get 'em.

Oh, did you all know that if your tires get damaged/punctured c/o L.A. potholes you can file a claim from the city? Don't know if it applies to rims tho...

 

i hardly ever scrape the front of my car, its my damn HKS muffler that i have to worry about, its beat to pieces all ready.

 

yeah sometimes they do just come out of nowhere and you cant slow down or the car behind will hit you... My integra has had its front lip repainted 4x because of stuff like that-- i should just make it a yearly thing now =/

Hmm I didn't know you could file a claim with the city for tire damage...how do you prove it though? like how do you prove that your tire got punctured /damaged within the c/o L.A. and not somewhere else?

 

i have only scraped one time and im on tien s -techs and it was my fault... and a tiny scrape

 

my exhaust is cryin', but that's about all.

 

my megan exhaust scrapes when i have more then a couple people in my car and i go over speed bumps ect.

my car's not even slammed ..yet >:]

 

every single day. My cars front bumper looks like a cheese grater. Dont even think about looking at the plastic bottom engine cover. Half of it is gone!! The track can be a very deadly place.

 

I've scrapped twice into the same parking lot trying to race a yellow light...Fyi hotchkis drop w/ oem kit...

 

never, not yet

 

I have one scrape under the car, and it is from the morons at the dealership when they drove the car onto the lift

 

i scrape mostly when i first started driving on my stechs. but now i rarely scrape since i'm used to them. if you're careful and pay attention you'll be fine

 

i just take things sideways and slow but sometimes its inevitible(sp.) =/ i cringe

 

I used to have Del Sol that was slammed , only maybe 3-4" ground clearance and I only scraped getting out of the driveway, and Honda is is always nice to put a rubber/plastic piece to protect the bottom part of the car. I never scraped going forward.... there is a technique for lowered cars.

 

I have trd springs and I scrape all the time! I am so angry the roads in upstate new york are horible. It doesnt matter how careful u are.

 

L.A. roads ____ me off. I am lowered on TRDs and I scrape almost on a daily basis. I do okay with driveways because I slow down to 2mph and use extreme care, but there are some roads where scraping is unavoidable. I hit a really nasty bumpy road last week where the bumper didn't get scraped, but something metal on the underside of the car impacted the ground with a big clunk. This was on a flowing 45mph piece of road, not a driveway or storm drain.
