I have a sport 370 and I scrape the airdam/diffuser under the front bumper on every small dip and easement. Sometimes I scrape it just thinking about it. The Nismo front ends look even lower, do you have the same problem?

in some cases i scrape but i've learned going at angle into an incline, up or down, a lot better. both mine and my friend's driveway have enough incline to scrape if done wrong and the entrance to my neighborhood, f'n ridiculous but i avoid it and go the back way. haven't scraped lately

No problems yet but I live in the country. The only thing I dread are the parking lot end stops but if it looks like a problem I'll back in.

No problems for me so far. I used to have a lowered Corvette and it would scrape on just about everything so the Nismo is a nice change for me.

I've scraped the skid plate a few times, unfortunately my parking situation at home blows. I just keep an eye out for dips but there hasn't been anything happen yet that was too painful.

Yeah I quickly learned the front end will scrape on most inclines/declines, so I have to go in at an angle to avoid it. Luckily the front bumper seems to take the abuse pretty well.
