Nope I leave it there. It weighs 150lbs and its bolted together.

The scraping was done coming in and out of my driveway. I'm definitely going to invest in some driveway ramps

scrapped the sh!t out of the whole passenger side lip at the last meet. Damn I was pissed. I used some sand paper to buff it out, turned out ok. I guess this is gonna happen, gotta get used to it.

Hitting curbs with the front lip and/or black lip is a badge of honor for people who aren't aware of or can't judge where the front of the car is.

Mine..... a full two years old and not a mark under there

The nismo lip sits lower than base.

If you haven't scraped on your non Nismo model yet it probably because it sits mad higher and of course having a pussyfoot matters as well.
Get in press the butten rev to 6 grand dump the clutch and drive hard. Ill pay for your baby front lip. Just have some fun already. Lol

He does not have a Nismo front bumper, thats why. Having had both I can attest the Nismo front sits lower and is easier to scrape, especially if lowered. The only thing that scrapes on the base is the chin flap spoiler, not a big deal at all.
