It's not that low, my driveway is really sloped...
Speaking of sloped, there was a freak snowstorm in South Carolina today, and while I tried to shovel the snow off of my driveway, my xB decided to go sledding down my driveway and run into the back of my wife's 4Runner. Seriously...my "parked" xB started sliding on the ice by itself, that's how much of an incline I have...
And the resulting damage...
Ran right into the 4Runner's trailer hitch...guess I'll be doing some zip tie bumper stitching in the near future...I think it shows character!
Some other snow pics...
Had to chock the wheels off after my little incident to try to keep the car from sliding anymore...

Neat followup to your HD lip 
! I can't even consider such a thing since depending on angle the fascia bottom already scrapes my driveway entrance 
. Damned shame about that ice accident -- maybe you could just fiberglass the inside of that rip?

Haha! Long story. I haven't had luck with front bumpers... first front bumper got hemmed up when I first got it. I was backing out and didn't notice my roommate's girlfriend's car to the right rear of me. I turned into her driver's side. Then on an icy snowy day, I was stopped at a light behind a 16year old kid in a 2wd 4cylinder S-10. Kid didn't know how to drive it well in the snow and started peeling out. I hopped out of my car to help him and yelled "STOP!", he didn't stop. Slid into me.
Fast forward a bit and I finally get it fixed and shaved the tow hook knockouts. Then about 8 months later, while pulling into a restaurant parking lot taking the JDM angle, a guy (not paying attention) ran into me. It was Xmas and the police officer that showed up wasn't very helpful. Since it was technically on private property, he couldn't do anything. We exchanged information and his insurance had lapsed 4 months ago. Geico wasn't at all helpful, so I've been rocking it.
You didn't get the memo? It's the cool thing to rock a fudged up front bumper. It's going to be the next sticker bomb and plaid craze. :D

That blows!! Maybe you should just take the whole bumper cover off, LOL! I have been thinking about doing the whole black out thing with the plasti dip stuff since every rock in the state of MD seems to bounce off the front of my B. I am not a huge fan of the Hitler stash but its either that or get some vinyl cut that says "Rock chips aint sh*t!!"
