got the clips and stuff put back on the wheel well..so its in place and fixed for the most part there. still have a rip in the bumper though *sigh* but at least its not noticeable unless you get under the car and touch it. apparently i have uneven wear on my tires too lol but thats probably cause of how i turn in corners.

Learn the art of the angle. The driveway of my new house is considerably steeper than my old place, and the first couple times I scraped on the underside both going up the driveway and reversing out of it (I'm lowered about 1.2" and have the OEM front lip installed). But now I've learned that if you take it at just the right angle, you won't scrape.

I'm always sizing up the grade of a driveway entranceway before I take them. So far the only scrapes have been on the underside where you can't see them. (knock on wood)

oh i know that angle trick too...the problem wasnt the actual driveway..it because it was so narrow the curb on the other side starts and comes out of the driveway..its not a normal curb and thats what got me. and the street it is on isnt that wide either so you cant make that big of a turn into it and to top it all off, their stupid neighbors park their cars right next to the driveway as youre coming up to it so you cant even pitch the car in early.. it was just dumb. i regret not just parking up the street on the side but yeah..so far Curb 1 = Me 0 lol
