Well I tend to do it while I'm on the phone and not paying attention. Tried to get Nissan to cover it under warranty and they refused.

Not as often as scratching my head after seeing your threads.

I've been wanting to ask Nismo owners the same question.

Said no one, but the OP.

I would say once a month on the underside where you can't really see it. The under tray thing sticks really far under the car. The front lip is basically the same height form the front lip all the way back to the tire well. My driveways is not steep at all but I have to tap the brake and turn the wheel all the way right to not scratch her any. To add to that, I hate parking on the right side of the driveway or backing out the garage on the right side. Why? When you have other cars parking on the left, you don't have much room to cut the wheel right to make the decent off the driveway less vertically.

I had measured my car when I first got her. I think I'm at 6'' off the pavement I think. All I know is that my bro always tells me I need to go even slower off the driveways and onto the street cuz it looks like it will scrape.

honest enough for you?

I have the Nismo front end conversion and I end up scuffing the bottom way more than what I would have imagined when compared to the regular bumper. I'm not so sure I would do the conversion again knowing what I know now.

Ohhh... That's why I hear my Nismo whining sometimes. I probably should give it a few scratches.
