Meh... if you're not scraping then you're not low enough.

+3 on using more angle in inclines or declines, that helps big time!

The stock chin spoiler is a "sacrificial anode." I scraped mine leaving the dealership 5 minutes after I bought it. Sometimes you have no choice.

To remedy the problem, I now back out the driveway.

Here is how I fixed the problem while maintaining the function of having it as a warning device to let me know when I am too close. I use to scrape all the time now just when I am getting close.

Before AKA stock


Tool of choice



Prep



Cut



Finished
