Basically I was sick of the chin spoiler scraping all the time so I trimmed the low points at the corners that keep scraping. Helps more than you would think.

Timely post.

Today I officially raised the white flag on trying to avoid scraping the chin of my car (Nismo front bumper) as I pull out of the driveway. We (I live in a town house community and share a driveway with three other owners) just installed a metal grate to ease the driveway/street transition today. The Bridjit ramp wouldn't work.

It solved everyone else's problem but mine. It doesn't scrape pulling in, but just barely scrapes pulling out. It's a combination of the pitch of the driveway and street, the wheelbase of the car, and the length of the nose.

You can't see the scrapes unless you look under the car, so it's now just a badge of honor. The ride height looks great, and unless I reinstall the original springs, there's nothing else I can do.

Okay, I feel better now.
