I'm not trying to be a smart arse, because I'm in the same boat since lowering my car and putting on a Nismo nose. I scrape the nose every day pulling out the driveway. The City is going through the neighborhood now resurfacing streets. If they raise mine anymore, I won't be able to get out.

I've already broken two retaining screws in the fender well. We installed a ramp/grate becuase everyone was scraping leaving the driveway. I'm still scraping. it's a function of the pitch of the driveway in relation to the street.

Love the look, so I'll live with the consequences. I hope all works out for you, so keep us posted.

If you see the photos of the intersection I took you can see how poorly they left the pavement, literally everyone even stock height normal sedans are scraping through there. I had no chance

I'm hoping I can get them to pay for it but if not no worries, I will just eat the cost.

I normally have the OEM bumper on the car and put on my V2 for meets/events if time permits.

I see. That's a nice arrangement to have swappability (sp?).

I am awaiting taking the 370 to the shop in the morning for the steering lock replacement. Meanwhile, here is a shot from last weekend's photoshoot at Tower Bridge. This is me and Eric (not a Z guy, but a major photographer and geneticist). My son Colin shot this.

Watched a show on the most dangerous roads and they had the Tail of the Dragon. One guy has a GTR that he films people from. Looking forward to the ZDayZ this year.

It is a 4 X 5 view camera -- very old school and I am not sure who makes it. Eric is serious about his work and has 36 cameras -- all film and all of various formats -- 4 X 5, 120, 2 1/4, 35 mm, etc.
