Front end vulnerability
Has anyone had their front ends damaged from people who "park by ear"? I am so paranoid about parking my car downtown for fear of jerks who don't care. The front end looks SO susceptible to damage!

This is one of the things I hate about owning a new car. I'm always scouting for parking spaces that make it difficult for people to part in front, behind, or next to me. I have a pretty good one at work right now and I get their early enough so that's its always open.

On the same note, does anyone have problems with parking in a spot that has the parking curbs. My RC is lowered but even when it wasn't, I would never hear my parking sensors go off because I don't think it can sense objects that low.
I find myself sticking my dumb head out the window and slowly inching forward! lol

While it's not going to guarantee protection, you can either wrap the whole front bumper or just the bottom of the bumper with some form of clear vinyl. This will provide a barrier that may prevent you from ruining the bottom of your bumper. If you're doing the bottom only, you might even be able to add two layers.

I swear this just happened to me a couple of weeks ago at Cracker Barrel & i had went back outside to take a phone call & saw it & moved it back up front again! Lol! But, this happens with ANY really nice cars (to me it seems like they know this & pretty much do it on purpose)! Especially IF you're one of those that park Waaaaay away from any other cars! jmo!

Lol! There's Always going to be those people that No Matter WHERE you park, they're going to see your Nice Expensive Car out there by itself & decide that they're 15k dented up, crappy looking van/car would look good beside it!

I don't mind walking 100 yards while most everyone else drives around the lot 4 or 5 times to be able to get 5 ft closer to the store. That said, there is inevitably someone who thinks it must be amusing to park their old POS next to my RC F waaay out in the lot. I'm not bashful about straddling the line and taking up 2 spaces out there either even though someone that sees it probably thinks "There's another a$$hole Lexus owner". So be it.
