I think it's safe to say you're too low.

That's not cool.. you have to angle that shit in, you shouldn't be driving straight in like that.. PDR will take care of that door.

+1 looks like you have enough room in the driveway to creep the angle. Only other way is to get air

If you do fly your TL through the garage make sure you record it and post it on youtube for us to see

It's probably not worth being that low if you scrape straight up subframe, possibly oil pan, everyday backing out and coming back home

Checking the vid.. I'd say some major scrapage on the 3rd cat & flex pipe on the J pipe.. If you don't learn to cut the angle on incline / declines & speed bumps then you should definitely raise it up at least 0.5" at each end.

I'm angled as i'm pulling into the garage. You cant see it from that angle of the video.

I tried grinding the concrete, but it was a never ending process. Eventually, it will smooth itself out.

The 3rd Cat, flex pipe, oil pan, and etc clears... Whats grinding are the two bolts under the subframe

And I thought bottoming out on the front airdam/a-spec lip sounded bad...with a stock suspension.

Sick car though...really. Makes me want a NBP.

Dude, sick car! -1 though for stalling.
As far as the driveway, for the amount you have invested in your car I would think it would be smart to get that transition into your garage fixed.

wont it help if you put like a rug on the part where you scratch? so instead of concrete vs metal, it'll be concrete vs rug..
of course it'll eventually burn off cause of the hot exhaust piping..

I can't hate on the drop because that's what my car needs the most. I don't think I would go as low as you just because of the scraping, and my driveway is worse than yours, but somewhat close to that would be nice
