How often you guys scrape your front bumper?

I got the bumper once. The front lip spoiler is part of an ongoing weight reduction plan.

I have an EVO-R front lip, and I'm lowered about an inch, so I'm not happy when I scrape.
But it doesn't happen very often.

I scrape the little bolt-on air dams frequently, but I've never scraped the bumper or any other painted surface. Gotta be particularly careful parking, not getting too close to the curb at the front of the parking spot and swinging wide enough to miss side curbs on the inside of turns.

Never scraped a painted part but I have scraped those little air dam things by the wheels and the front lip numerous times - but only going in/out of my driveway.

I gave in and eventually got one of these for the driveway:

I'm sure it still scrapes the black pieces under the car but since the ramp is made out of rubber theres no damage being done.

Let's see here....two days pulling out of the driveway onto the street, two days scraping the front lip spoiler (just barely).

This car is so fun to drive, I'm not going to let it bother me.
