bro, youve gotta learn to park a lil' farther back (or forward, however you park) because lowered (nuespped 2" drop) i have to be very careful of pulling in too far....backing up i dont have any trouble, but ya.......im sure once i get a lip ima have to park clear of the little bump thing....so ya, if youre lowered and have a lip, you will eat the bump thing, so practice now.....or prepare to see damages!

Isn't that a common sense thing i mean avoid hitting stuff with your car isn't that like when a car is stoped for some stupid reason in the middle of the road you avoid it you don't just say oh well and hit it. Sorry if that sounds mean but your question seems like a no brainer.

I scrap lightly coming out of my girlfriends drive-way as well as a couple of other parking lots, no matter how slow I come out, and once in a blue when I'm parking. With the lip and dropped is alot worse or just marginally worst. Because if it significantly worse then I'd without a doubt mess up the lip no matter how careful I am.

Well if you hit curbs now common sense tells me you are going to hit them if you put on a lower lip and drop your car Sorry that sounded mean but in your post you said you scrape now, if i were you i wouldnt invest in a lip, it would look horrible all scraped up
