Default Front Lip Scrape...

Just scraped my front lip on a parking lot curb bumper. OUCH! The first of many I'm sure...that first scrape does hurt though.

I did the same thing one week after taking delivery. I don't know what was hurt worse--the underside of the car or my pride.

sucks, but no biggy... just touch up paint if its really bad, other wise, forget about it... its the bottom of the car, you cant really see it unless u go towards the bottom of the car.

I scraped a few times. Finally learned my lesson when I cracked it. Haven't scraped since, but I know I will as soon as I get a new one.

If you do not have a front spoiler then try this. It is probably the best investment I have added to my "S"

I did the same thing shortly after I bought my S2000. I have the habit of pulling into a parking space as far forward as possible. It took a while to adjust from parking my SUV. I just scraped again last week. I hope I don't crack mine.

I actually caught a curb with my Comptech side skirts also. Ripped the one right in half. Got new ones now and I am very careful in parking lots.
