This is my second vehicle with an ultra-low front lip. I beat my Celica's to heck before figuring out driveways and parking blocks. When I picked up my S, it was my goal to keep the front bumper totally clean. I take driveways at a crawl and never park with my front lip overhanging anything. Still, I waxed the car last week and found scrapes under the very front. I'm so frustrated.

Is it just impossible to prevent on a car this low? I wish businesses wouldn't build driveways that hit the street at a 45 degree angle.

 

Actually, compared to other sports cars I've owned, the S2000 is much better at avoiding steep driveway angles. I used to scrape my own driveway every time I came and went. Ended up sticking strips of metal under there to act as a guard. The S clears my driveway easily.
There's always the Coastal Metals front lip protector.

I not only scratched the bottom of the front bumper, I tore my nose mask three weeks ago.

 

Unless you have an aftermarket spoiler, the front is not that low. Be concious of what is going on and that you have a lot spoiler and you should be all set. Even on the fanciest of cars, they scrape the bottom.

My advice, lose the aftermarket spoiler if you are concerned. They add little benefit to the performance and just add to your grief. Back into parking spaces.

 

I have the oem spoiler on and it has more damage than a few scratches (Ran over a tire tread @ 70-80) though I did my best to bondo it back together for now ;-)

But, before that I was always worried about scratches. W/out the oem spoiler I'd probably be scrach free, but w/ it it's best to just except that sh*t happens and fortunately the scratches are on the underside of the spoiler where noone else can see.
