I park at least 3 feet from curbs and still have 3 or 4 feet behind the car in my parking space. At first i was worried but it has not been a problem at all. i do my best to dodge road snakes . if you keep a clear road in front of you you can dodge them real good.

 

i hit a raccoon driving home late one night. little bastard took a huge chunk out of that bottom lip, as well as took out all the plastic in the wheel well.

so um...try not to hit raccoons.

 

raccons?? last time i hit a freakin 40lbs pit bull and i had to replace the whole front bumper and the fender wall.... it costs $1300, and the owner of the dog eventually hide from me and not answering my phone calls, so i went to my insurace, but they didn't do anything, so i jus went ahead and claim them

 

YES! Not so much parking for me because I normally stop short anyway but it's road debris that is the issue. The lower body wont go over allot of the trash you run onto on the highway, including some animals. I really don't thing I pick up more stone chips than non lowered. It's worth doing.

 

haha.

well it hasn't been torn/ripped off,
but i do have a few scrapes under the lip
because of careless mistakes.

 

No matter how careful you drive, you will end up getting something. For me, its mostly rocks kicked up from other cars that leave paint chips on the lower lip.

I also have some underneath side skirt scrapes on my passanger side from a few speed bumps. They weren't too big and i went at a 45 degree angle, but when the front came down its going to scrape occasionally if its a big enough speed bump.

 

I'vw got a 2" drop with a rake due to different front struts and springs. No problems coming in and out of the worst alley and driveways in town. Go slow and you should be alright

 

First outting on my box got me a nice scrape on the left corner of the rear bumper when I backed up into a curb that my old Jeep would've easily cleared. Also poped the fender off of the screw that held it in place in the left wheel well.. Though I only needed to loosen the screw, line it up, and screw it back in tightly to fix.

 

lol Try not to do that too much.
