Question low clearance of bumper

I am new to the forum. This may seem inconsequential, but is it hurting the underside of the bumper when the car scrapes the road coming out of driveways? I drive very slowly but because the clearance is low on my '07 TL, it still scrapes.

are you sure you are scraping the bumper and not the plastic piece behind in?

angle the car when you come off the driveway so you dont scrape.

I have an '07 and I used to scrape...now I angle my entrance and exit. BTW..you are scraping the little black air difuser not the bumper.

Welcome aboard longbeach, here is more info from the 3G Garage:

E-067: Front spoiler/Plastic piece underneath front of car keeps scraping

What you are probably scraping is the part #29 illustrated here:


Don't think about removing it either: Removing Rubber Part


As others have stated, enter/exit inclines slowly and at an angle and you'll be fine.
