So, I've only had the car a few days but it doesn't take long to learn how vulnerable that front spoiler is. I have a very shallow angled driveway to my garage and no matter how dramatic I slant in to avoid scraping, it still scrapes.

I researched this forum for old threads and it seems that this is a universal problem. Some guys use door edge molding, but there's still scraping.

So, do you all just live with it??

just live with it!
it is a relatively inexpensive part and very easy to replace.
i'm on my fifth one right now!

 

Just wait till you get the cup front spoiler
Actually I have one for sale if you are ever interested. Shipping is way to expensive for the size and weight of the piece so I was hoping someone local would pick it up, but no one has. PM if you're interested.

 

you can get coil overs with a hydraulic lift system... that is the only practical solution.
my driveway is so steep so I scrub front of my standard C2 bumper without lower lip, so proper aerokit like yours is not even an option.

other solution is to transport car to a track on a trailer.

 

Everytime I get in and out of my driveway, I lose a part of the lip, especially on the driver side. I have totally worn away the lower section there, and there is no plastic left on the bottom. I don't even bother replacing them anymore.

 

the whole top of mine is scratched...it actually folds under if you go up a real steep driveway...scratching the bottom doesnt matter

 

I built ramps out of wood that I put out every time I leave my driveway

 

Thanks for all the input.
Much appreciated.
I will probably ignore the problem until I need a new spoiler.

Hello all, my first post here, but I thought this may be useful:

I scrape mine so much that it looks like it has been chewed on by rats. I'm ordering a new one, but my driveway alone will eat it up in a month... So, I guess I live with it until I can get the new model with the lift.

 

mine is scratched too. Its usual and normal thing.

 

Great feedback, and much appreciated.
Mr. B

 

I had a crack in the concrete close to the street so I had the concrete guy taper my drive so that my lip would not drag.

 

I've had lowered cars for many years and found backing into the driveway at a slight angle relieves scraping the trying to front load into it. I also have done like ntlgnt1 and built mini wood ramps that "fit" the driveway end so in essence extended the driveway enough to be able to get in without scraping. It is an extra two minutes but it saves the lip and the stress from cringing everytime you do scrape!

My splitter is painted in bodycolor. So if i wanna get a new one i will have to get it painted too.
