Default Oh man!!

okay, well i didnt think our cars were that low, but then i remembered that the front is a bit lower since i have the OEM lip...well anyways i scrapped the bottom of it and parts of the edge on the front, i feel really bad cuz i have never scratched it that bad before. It's only noticable up close but still.

Do any of you have tip to avoid scratching the front?

Mind u that i could not come down this ramp on an angle, i had to go straight, it was almost like 30-45 degree drop.

please i need some help!

yeah i just inspected my lip just a while ago and i found alot more scratches and marks on it....i feel really bad right now, but i mean i guess that is the function of the lip right? to prevent damage to the actual body of the car. Do you think it really make a difference in aerodynamics?

Anyone with any tips? besides going really really slow! even that may not work...

Well u can't do much with it man. I ran into these kinda experience before too. Which u can't do much about it. Of coz if I can stop at the ramp, find some wood underneath my wheels and let it drive on(to minimize that angle). I will do so.

But if u're on the street or other public area, I guess u can't do so.

Not much you can do. Going slow will cause less damage, but there's still damage. It's a price you have to pay to look good

The lip is all for looks unless you're going at 200km+
