I keep scraping the front chin spoiler on my Z. I was wondering if we can add something under the front chin spoiler to perhaps cushion the scraping?? Any ideas??

Front Chin Spoiler Protection
I keep scraping the front chin spoiler on my Z. I was wondering if we can add something under the front chin spoiler to perhaps cushion the scraping??
Any ideas?? Maybe put some thick double sided tap or something?? |

It's better to scrape your front chin spoiler than scrape the bottom of your bumper. What one of the members did on here was to grab some sand paper and lightly sand the bottom, that doesn't protect it, but makes it look presentable. I wouldn't worry about it too much though.
You could always change your driving habits. The scraping worsens as you lower your car. I used to scrape everywhere when I first got the car, but now I rarely scrape anywhere. Just know your area and approach all driveways/bumps at an angle. |

wat you can do bro is actually buy the door edge molding... one long piece and stick it on the bottom of ur front spoiler... the rubber molding will absorb some of the screapes.... thats what i had in the beginning when i super cared about the front spoiler.... i dont care anymore so yah LOL

I have to go very slow and at angle, especially at my work. I didn't get use to it at all. Doesn't matter how careful or slow I was, there is a loud scrape noise - embarrassed sometimes.
Got advise from one of this forum members, just trim the feathery plastic with a razor and it looks much better. |
