Ive yet to scrap my FI and the driveway I use everyday scrapes my front but not the exhaust.

I'm lowered about 1.2 inches and for 3 months I never scraped. Then this past week I scraped 3 times. But I never scrap the same driveway again. If I scrap taking a left going up the enterance, the next time I go the long way and take a right turn up the driveway.

Same here and I think the ARK exhaust sits even lower than the FI

The joys of Z ownership!

Just approach everything diagonally, never head-on.

The real test comes when you add a front lip spoiler and after market exhausts.
The sound of tips scraping in the morning kind of sticks with you awhile.

the lowered z06 i had would scrape everywhere... i haven't scraped my 370z yet.

Man i got completely owned by one of them blocks within 2 weeks of taking ownership of the vehicle. So much pain felt.

I pulled up to far on when of them once, pulled off and it sounded like death. Got out of my car and looked only to see it was the spoiler and I was like 'Oh that thing, screw it, its not painted"

:iagree:

I approach all inclined (or declined) driveways at an angle. I had to re-train my friends to park ~ 4' away from the entrance to my driveway, since I have a steep incline and drive a Nismo, else I can't get the right angle. I'd rather walk 200 yards then scratch up the front lip any more. You can't see it mind you, but I feel it with my wash mitt every time.

Yea, if I'm going somewhere I'm not familiar...I'll take the F-150. If everything's good..well, the Z can come along :)

I've done a few pass by's of certain mall and business entrances , due to steep inclines. Either find another entrance or park in a near buy parking lot.
