Got home today in my brand-new IS 350 F sport. I was greeted by a terrible reality. My front end

is barely scraping the entrance of the driveway as I turn in on a 45° angle. Turning in straight is not an option as it will definitely scrape the whole front end. Same thing happens backing out! Any pro tips out there! The tree on the left ain't helping either, but Sweet thing says it's staying.👎

Can you reverse into your driveway?

I would reverse up your driveway. Looks like you got plenty of room to do that.

My house has the same deal, my 350 front lip scraps the pavement. I just put a large flat wood plank, and it works for me. However, I don't think that would help with your driveway lol

reversing onto the driveway might be worse....

with my steep driveway, i barely clear the front lip going in front first, but its impossible for me to back up onto my driveway

Reversing wont help.
Give it more of an angle than 45 when coming into the first incline. You want to be close to parallel with the curb then crank the wheel as you turn in.
The more angle you carry the sooner the wheel on the corner entering the incline will lift the car up and away from the ground.
Don't rush to straighten the car out until you've starting climbing the second incline.
Also, I see the curb is rounded but there is still a chance you could hit your rim when entering from a sharp angle so make sure to turn the wheel toward the curb before proceeding to climb.

Hope that makes sense.

Drive in an angle and revers in an angle. Unless you are slammed, you're drive way is not that bad. It takes some adjustment in how you drive when you have a lowered car.

Went on the Brijit site this am. After measuring my curb, I think it may work. By getting the wheels on the ramp approx. 4" further out from the leading edge of the curb, the nose will be be boosted up just enough to clear the top(I'm only needing about 1/4"clearance to keep from scraping at all.

That's what I've been doing. Width of the driveway only allows for about a 50 degree max approach angle. Anything wider and I can't make the cut without running off the edge.Mailbox on right and the tree in the left make it a "challenge". The screwy thing is that I could get my '14 IS250C in and out on a 45 angle with no scrape.Fsport must be lower/ longer in front

No. Front end pancakes on the street.😖

Just google driveway aprons. There seems to be some other options out there. I saw one from Griot's Garage.
