what exactly is curb rash - just tha bump from if ur car bounces on the incline? are ur scratches on the underbelly of ur bumper? meaning if u look directly at your bumper either from standing or even eye level with your grille can u see the scratches or do u have to feel under it??? any pics?

I try to avoid the driveway curb dangers by pulling onto and out of these driveways one tire at a time, slowly, and on an angle. you should never be driving directly onto or off a driveway with your car at a right angle because that bumps it easier. especially if there's 2 passengers or more weight in it.

if you angle it you won't. im lowered an inch and then have the splitter and i navigate SERIOUSLY messed up roads daily with no problems. you got to learn to drive with a low front end, thats all. its no big deal to scrape the under belly if your going VERY SLOW.

^^^ LOL!!! dude sideways all day. even when i had my cadi knew i would be back to something on teh ground and took dips sideways at times. people laughed at me but now im happy. drop the driver side off the driveway first at an angle, followed by passenger side front then driver side rear will follow by the passenger rear.

This is if you are making a right out of a steep driveway etc. Be careful of dips to in the road.
