I got the bumper once. The front lip spoiler is part of an ongoing weight reduction plan. ;)

I have an EVO-R front lip, and I'm lowered about an inch, so I'm not happy when I scrape.
But it doesn't happen very often.

Let's see here....two days pulling out of the driveway onto the street, two days scraping the front lip spoiler (just barely).

This car is so fun to drive, I'm not going to let it bother me. :happydance:

I scrape the little bolt-on air dams frequently, but I've never scraped the bumper or any other painted surface. Gotta be particularly careful parking, not getting too close to the curb at the front of the parking spot and swinging wide enough to miss side curbs on the inside of turns.

Never scraped a painted part but I have scraped those little air dam things by the wheels and the front lip numerous times - but only going in/out of my driveway.

I gave in and eventually got one of these for the driveway:

I'm sure it still scrapes the black pieces under the car but since the ramp is made out of rubber theres no damage being done. :tup:

Never hit the actual bumper but i get the spoiler allllll the time. I get it everymorning when i have to pull into the deli parking lot to get breakfast.... maybe i should find another deli :rofl2:

Yeah, I get the spoiler every time I pull in/back out of my drive - just a little scrape. I'm not lowered at all.

My only consolation is that my neighbor nearly drags the whole bumper off of his vette on his drive. It makes the worst screeching noise. I cringe every time I hear it.

Ive gotten the bumper once (maybe twice). The lip I get scrape atleast 10 times per week =(.

I never scraped my.bumper but my chin spoiler took a beating. Lol.

Wow... Tat sucks...

The nice thing about the 370Z front bumper is it will hardly ever scrape, even when lowered. (just the rubber chin and two flaps) The nismo bumper on the other hand.... But it's removable though, but still an expensive part (~$400)

I scrape rubber and plastic from time to time.

In the end you'll be selling a used car to some 18 year old punk who will low ball your price down to $0.50 because that's all he's got...but it's CASH. :D

was daily going in and out of the driveway, ive had ramps for about 6 mo but i had already scrapped it up... so i was like ill just wait till i put my kit on.

Op, did u mean the oem lip spoiler or the actual bumper? I think folks are getting confused as to which u mean.

If u mean the oem lip spoiler I scrape mine maybe once a week but barely, esp if I go over a certain road with some bad angles. Roads here are frickin terrible. Does anybody know how much those oem lip spoilers are? I wonder if i should bother esp if when I get a new one, I will inevitably scrape yet again.

As for the front bumper, never.
