yeah i have those scrapes too!! infact the day i got the car i ran over a twig and it scared my rear lip. most people would never find the imperfection but i know where it is!! hell these are the reasons why we have lips to protect the rest of the body from stupid things like that. i would just repaint the lip when it gets bad!

i have a few friends with slammed and dropped rides so heres some advice: turn your radio up when going in and out of parking lot ramps. your gonna know you scraped the bottom of your car but since you didn't hear it you can try to convince yourself it never happened

You just have to learn to be aware of how low your front end is, and adjust accordingly

Find some colored electrical or duct tape and run some along the bottom of the lips so that when you do scrape you have to get through the tape before scraping the lip itself.
