I got a bodykit installed on my car and i am dropped on Tein S-Tech springs and my front bumper gets scraped by everything, every driveway i leave it scrapes. Is there something i can put on it to protect it? I'll post pics later on.

 

put a thinrubber liner lip below it. also try go down the steep parts more at an angle.

 

get like a custom cf splitter...that what im thinking about doing

 

i have a cf splitter if anybody is interested.

 

you have pics mike? im really interested

 

the splitter will make things worse. Trust a guy who has one It actually allows contact with the incline sooner than with just the front lip. I have a rather steep driveway and the only way I'm able to pull in is...... backwards! Doesn't help on some of the day to day stuff, but if you're just trying to park at home or school, that's something to try. Also, going very slowly and at an angle helps a lot of the time.

The rubber protector is a good idea. But you'll still want to go slowly to prevent bashing the lip and possibly breaking it off.

 

ya but if the splitter is hte one that scrapes then the bumper doesnt take any damage

 

Carbon fiber = more expensive. The bumper will still take pressure damage, although it may not scrape itself. It could still break, depending upon the material. I don't know why you're suprised by scraping while lowered w/ body kit though.

 

so you'd rather have to re-install a splitter that keeps popping off and getting scuffed to hell than back in to parking spots when you can? or just go slower up some hills? I'ts not a perfect solution, but again- I have a splitter (and have had a splitter for almost 2 years now) and it's not a solution to front-end scraping problems. Plus, the splitter hitting stuff could cause the lip to break off entirely.

 

I heard that you can put on that clear plastic table cover stuff, and cut it to the shape of yur body kit underneath, and just wet it, and apply it to the body kit. So everytime u scrap from then on, u would only scrap the plastic stuff. I am going to try it on my car soon. so i'll let u kno how it goes.

 

man i have the same problem, but im still at stock hieght with the Evo 7 kit, i've chipped the front end a couple of times, i still have coilovers to install, but all this scaping makes me not want to put them on

 

If you lower your ride you are bound to scrape the front sooner or later no matter how hard you try to avoid it. But the evo looks so much better lowered.

 

go at crazy angles thats what i do n i never scrape n if u say maybe cuz i dont go up steep ill show u pics of my driveway lol.... jus right up to it so 1 wheel goes up at a time side to side...

 

Its not the hills that get my dumb *** its the curbs. lol

 

lol doode, how far does ur front end stick out, mine sticks out really far
