Cut off the bottom part of the front bumper.

 

It's a good thing it never freezes in S.F.

 

Try putting some boards at the edge of the driveway. A series of "steps" should eliminate the problem. My friend does this with his very lowered car. Its a pain, but what else can you do?

 

If I drove straight up my drive way, the transition from the road to the driveway is where I would have a problem. I approach the driveway parallel to the curb, the I hit the driveway transition with the drivers side wheel (about a 10-20 degree angle) once this wheel is up I continue to cross the 1st 1/2 of the drive way, then I turn up.

 

if this doesn't work, drive up to the driveway parallel to the curb. with your car about 3/4s coverining the length of the entry of the driveway, turn ur wheel all the way to towards your garage and bring the closest tire up the driveway a couple feet and make sure the other tire is on the driveway a bit... now put it in reverse and turn the way all the way the opposite way and back up slowly so the nose starts to face the top of the driveway. have someone watch this the first time u do it so u get the hang of how far u need to go. then put it in 1st and take her up.. u should be ok from there...

BTW.. this goes for both entering and leaving steep parking lots... did it in my Prelude when it was in "show" mode for over 6 months.. never scraped.

 

Get a lift kit

 

If either your driveway or the street is asphalt, you could build an asphalt grade to your liking. If both the driveway and street are concrete, then this would look tacky. I bet your rubber skirts in front of the front tires are chewed up pretty bad too!

 

Hey, guys, the angled approach really seems to work. I just tried it tonight and couldn't hear any scraping.

Thanks for the helpful advice!
