Trying to be cautious and get out of the car seeing this.

 

Because of this, lowering the car becomes less and less appealing.

 

Wish our cars had front cameras. My friends 5 series does

 

Or u can back in, that's how I park now! Plus, that's why I have some kind of reinforcement under my bumper for event like this.

 

man oh man that's close! I bought mine as a CPO and because its nebula gray, I didn't notice some curb rash right where the bottom front lip is. I ended up having my body man fill it in and repaint it - a cost I didn't expect, but hey, you gotta pay to play, right?

 

^this. Back your car in, or if the other car has good paint you can use that as a mirror, or look at the other cars mirror and use it as a marker with your mirror (usually regular people park their cars all the way in so you can estimate how far to park by their mirror and yours)

^^ THIS ^^

I perfected the use of the reflection from car next to me when I had my 350z which was lowered on coils. The Z was a really short car, so I didn't have to worry about my back end sticking out. I find using this technique on the GS leaves my trunk sticking too far out sometimes so now I back in 90% of the time if there is a curb.

 

lol lol the life of a lowered car

 

the struggle is real.


LOL

 

Good idea to use the reflection of the other cars to see. And the front camera would be sweet.

 

This is the only thing stopping me from getting this lip..the wife loves parking right on top ofvthose things..but like u said for $105 u canveasily replace it lol

 

Lol I do the same thing look at car next to me to see how close I'am.

 

Same here. Except at work, I'm the first one in so there's no car to help me. Thankfully that curb is just about the only one that my front end clears lol

 

The only problem with this is that it requires you to park next to another car. Lemme see--door ding or scratched front lip? I say Lexus give us a frickin' 360 view camera all ready!
