ok so i was driving to a mall on the other day and the entrance ramp is a little high

i was going in sideway but there was a car coming out so i had no choice coz i had no time in turning left into the mall (the cars were coming at me)

i was going very slow and still the bottom of the front lip stretched up

i thought it was just the lip and leave it alone

but today when i at the shop i found out the paint of the front bumper was peeling off a little bit near the fender!!! it freaked me out a little bit and the bumper is not in place after the stretch

the bumper clip is off and now it has a little gap on the driver side, i know it's normal to lowered cars but you can't avoid it

just want to vent it out....my car is just too low right now...

Been there done that. It's inevitable, man. My front lip has been repainted like twice already due to bottoming out.

how low is your car? is it the same height you have in the pictures?

samkws

half a finger gap all around the car, with the lip is pretty low

real lip or just the OEM body kit?

mine is even lower than yours.....mine has no finger gap.....

Which mall? I'll have to make sure I avoid it!

I have H&R 50103 and oem kit - I cringe every time I enter a parking lot....

my front lip is destroyed underneath from when i had my stock rims. You guys think u had it bad, i had -1 to almost -2 finger gap on my stock rims. It was slammeedd, after i got the 19s, its a lot better now, i dont scrap that much because the car it self sits a little higher then it did before. Now i got barely 1 finger gap.

Is it possible to get a paint shop to paint it when the bottom of the lip has kinda been streaded? It would really need to be smoothed out.

it's just a stupid mall near yonge/steeles, i was going for some popoye chicken after my exam

@cUr@-TL

Shit i know exactly how u feel guys. Im alwasy scraping the front lip. Sometimes on those concrete blocks that they put in front of parking spaces as well. Its inevitable.

Ouch, that must suck. When you start scraping everything off the floor, its a sign your car is either too low, of the ground is crooked. We can't change the latter now can we?

yikes sorry to hear. i always slow down traffic when i take a bump like that. i rather them honk at me then scratch the lip

TightTL

I feel your pain between worrying about hitting a pot whole or bottoming out I say is it worth to do all this to your car because you cant drive it hard. I had my bdoy kit on for 3 days and scraped the front luckily it was underneath so you can see it but I know its there.


My advise by a HOOPTY to beat on.

Yonge and Steeles, you mean Centrepoint?

Or some stip mall off the corner somewhere?

welcome to the club

samkws

no the popoye chicken one

I've got the same combo and I hardly ever have problems entering and exiting parking lots.... I've scraped a few times the past year, I pushed a lil snow in the winter. My main problem is not being able to judge the distance pulling into parking spaces.. Damn curbs...
