I had to buy this for my driveway before I did the Swift installation. It is one of my favortie "mods". Otherwise, I have no problems scraping -- watch your angles on driveways and speed bumps and you will be fine.

It is pretty crazy how small of dips and inclines the front chin spoiler will scrape on with lowering springs. I plan to drive it around until I get use to it before I install the Stillen front lip. I don't want to rip it off the first day.

So who won the gold star award for the correct suggestion on the fix? The chin spoiler scraping is a frightening sound at first. After awhile the sound is just a feeler gauge letting us know we have an another 2 inches before any real damage. Stillen chin spoiler, I am guessing, it depends how far outward it protrudes from the front for any scraping effect. Let us know how that turns outs.

Drove to work in 26F and the dashboard oil temp stuck around 190F which equates to 210F. Will defintely be using a block off plate on the new 25row oil cooler to be installed soon.

I am pretty good at angles on public driveways and mine along with speed bumps.....but your driveway with the ramp....I still scraped with Swift....luckily you gave me an onzedge driveway 101. Good investment, I will be getting the ramp someday because the bro is about the order a new chin spoiler.

Yes, Mr. ZForce, even with the Bridjit ramp, I still need to angle in and out of the driveway. Regarding the chin spoiler, I am on my second one and am beginniing to consider it a consumable part.

Future Nissian in Roseville is one of the ZONC delaerships that give a 25% off all parts. Something to keep in mind when needing OEM parts.

I cannot remember the last time I even rode in a vehicle with snow tires. Are todays snow tires still noisey like the ones from yesteryears?

Happy Friday to all !!

Do they still make them... I have an old pair that is still in good shape. Gotta be strange feeling driving in dress shoes, when I am used to Vans or NB.

X-mas parties start next week...boring..... I feel sickness coming on...cough...cough...call in sick...or take some annual leave.
