Scraping Issues..??
Hey guys,
So, I recently lowered the car with some Sportlines, and I really haven't noticed any major scraping issues.. Aside from my resonator on my GMPP catback.. That likes to scrape on speed bumps and steep driveways.. But what abotu after I add my s/c front lip on..? Will I have to really watch out..? I'm new to front lips.. lol
And Erod, I really don't know where else this could go.. lol If there's somewhere else it'd fit better, please let me know..

I actually do.. lol I guess the s/c lip just drops it a tiny bit since it's mounted a little up on the bumper.. The second one might be more to your liking since it's from the side..


With my sport lines, I scrape alot.
However, it seems that its all on the under side of the front lip.
Its not visible, until you get on your hands and knees to look, or..until you rub your hand underneath and feel the scrapes.

I'd say mine is pretty damn low and I haven't really had any issues. Only thing that ever touches at times is the black shroud that hangs off the rad support. It's only about 2 inches off the ground though.

Front lip should be coming this week sometime then I just need to install it.

haha Thanks man. Unfortunately I'm back to stock headlights and standard bulbs instead of the blackout headlights and HID's due to a series of unfortunate events over the last couple days..

haha Damn man.. Yeah, the temper gets overdone sometimes, but **** happens.. I'm not really worried about the lip getting SCRAPED, just about it getting totally smashed or even ripped off.. lol I mean, the rest of the car has scuffs and ****, so why not the lip..?? haha
dude i remember my first car a 97 camaro rs with that ******* factory lip kit on it and the first day i had my license i was being a typical stupid 16 year old driver and went over these railroad tracks at like 60 and ripped off the front lip and ran over it. lol completely destroyed
Im on Sportlines to and I dont really have any issues except on some big speed bumps and really steep driveways. Just make sure you take them slow and at an angle and you will be alright. Ill be on coilovers soon so Im gonna have to change the way I drive even more
yeah tell me about it he has my old sportlines cause i bought coilovers wow big dif
