Default Poss solution for those w/steep driveways and lowered

Here are some pics of the spoiler with some molding under to protect it when goin down/up our steep driveway. Tell me what you think of it. Thanks.

Here's a standing pic.



What it looks like under the spoiler

I can't see how that would work. Looks like it will get scraped off quickly.

Its not noticeable, but if it gets scraped there you wouldn't be able to see it anyway, right?

I would rather do the traditional thing, angle your car hardcore.

You realy can't see it while standing, and if it scapes the 3M tape should hold it.

i notice when i angle my car hardcore it does something almost worse. Our chassie is so stiff that my inside rear wheel will pop in the air and the outside rear will be forced up in the wheel well. It rubs like crazy. The solution for that is to come in the the driveway with a little speed

it's so funny too cuz i live in texas which is crazy flat, but i have like a san fran style driveway. before i bought the car they gave me a loaner over night just to make sure the stock setup would fit.

I am lowering mine on tuesday. I am praying that it makes it after that.

Maybe the 3M clear tape (like the bra) will work too.
Did you install the lip yourself? Was it easy.

the clear bra won't protect it. the curb will shred up the clearbra. i have pieces of clear bra shreds hanging underneath the stock lip.
