pulled too far over parking curb

11Thumper · 04-26-2012, 12:36 AM

You'll replace it monthly...

Stop the OCD and just drive it.

It's going to happen again unless you start to park further away from the stoppers

This only get's worse once you're lowered, believe me

I question how on earth are people with their rides so low have no problems at all. I scrap every time I pull in the driveway & even if I go in at an angle. My ride isn't even lowered.

I have learned to avoid areas all together or use a ton of angle in order to get into steep driveways.

It still makes me cringe when I hear the bumper scraping

+1....... You have no idea. This Friday the 27th will be two weeks that I have had my car & not too much that can be done. It is only scrapping the skid pad underneath, but who in the hell is going to look underneath to check it out. I don't anybody really would.

Again, story of my life. I just had my lowering springs removed because of scraping issues. The inner loop of Houston is no place to drive a lowered car. Even after raising my car, I can not pull out of my driveway front first.

This was my fear of lowering and not going to do it.

I completely agree about H-Town. I would love to have my car lowered, but I do not think it would be possible. I have figured out a way to pull in the driveway at a crazy angle w/o scrapping....thank God. I always back out of the drive & if I was to go front first, then for sure scrapping would happen.

Honestly it's there to get scratched, I wouldn't bother replacing it.

exactly............

kenchan · 04-26-2012, 11:08 AM

no it is not there to get scratched... lol it is not a bumper or curb finder.

MacLean · 04-26-2012, 12:14 PM

You know....it is just plan disgusting looking, so just take it off completely. You "should be" fine w/o it. It is only decoration & has no real purpose.

kenchan · 04-26-2012, 12:46 PM

actually it does function... according to nissan atleast.

tjlazer · 04-26-2012, 03:23 PM

Don't bother buying a new one!
