Default Diffuser Scrape

I was wondering if anyone experienced scraping going over speed bumps. I was thinking of getting one but if it's going to scrape as much as my front bumper I might not get.

My oem lip doesn't scrape, but I'm stock ride height. It will however scrape parking space curbs.

Dhoh! Just realized you were asking about diffuser! My bad!

I've only scraped my rear diffuser once when I was loading my car onto my trailer. I have since then built ramps for it and is no longer a problem.

My front bumper was scraped up some when I got it and then I made it worse bumping parking curbs. I finally had to change out the entire front bumper after an unavoidable minor hit on the highway that cracked the bumper a bit near the bottom. I am super careful now. When in doubt I stop short of the potential obstruction. Even at stock height like I am you have to be real careful.

I don't scrape because I don't drive in areas I don't know, lol..

If I do venture my S out on nice days and such, I just go slow and on angles.. no issues thus far.

FYI: dropped on Swift Spec R's with 17 inch Work wheels, AP2 oem front lip with front, side and rear diffusers.

My car isnt too low, and I scrape my diffuser from time to time. Especially if i hit a part of the road that causes the car suspension to compress at speed.

This is why this is the part I ordered in a rep. It gets beat up.
