How many people have crushed the front fascia?

 

The trick is to back in!! Its a little bit more of a hassle but saves me in the long run!

 

fascia is fine. but I park away from everyone...

and I angle the car in while at questionable driveways and such...

consider myself lucky...

 

If you're lowered you will eventually scrape at some point. I have a just a few small scratchs on the bottom side of my front bumper which you cannot see unless you get under the car and look. I do what YA does and go at angles if it looks steep. If it looks remotely bad I find another way or don't drive there.

 

although i am not lowered i have done some srcaping of the bumper.. i used to drive a lowered civic hatch ( hold the jokes please ) so i got used to hitting dips and bumps at angles... but in unfamiliar territory ive hit some dips i didnt even see

 

That is my trick as well, especially since there will always be more clearance in the back!

Yeah, I was bored at work, hence this poll.....

 

For some reason the morons who pave/maintain the streets around here seem to think everyone drives a 4X4 with 10" of ground clearance. Coming from a side street to a main street normally means a sudden 3-4 inch rise in the level of the pavement. I always slow down when I'm crossing these areas, but I've come close to being rear-ended a few times as well.........[:@]

It is funny when people behind you get all pissed off because you are driving slow to avoid damage to your car.... They get all up on your **** through the bumps like your actually going to speed up or something... But once you hit the good part of the road you don't have to worry about tailgaters! Man there are some stupid people on the road....
