hey guys...i was curious about what you guys would do about scraping your cars (4 those who are lowered) charlotte (and north carolina in general) sucks when it comes to driveway exits. what do you guys offer as a solution? i almost already scrape as it is even with the HUGE fender gap.
 see how close it is? This post has been edited by easternpiro1: Apr 22, 2006 - 12:24 PM --------------------  QUOTE (Galcobar @ Oct 15, 2008 - 2:44 AM)  You want power but have no money. That's a problem. Cheap. Reliable. Fast. Pick two. |

i go diagonal when i go into my drive way(even though it's not that low) sometimes i scratch my pipes when i go over speed bumps(the tall ones in shopping centers)...i guess there really isn't any solution

Yea, I'm really careful driving my car now.
Even though its stock height, I cant even get up my driveway cause it will scrap, thats how bad it is. But other speed bumps are fine if I take it at an angle. --------------------  98 ST204 ZR - Black Beauty - Roaming the streets of Sydney 73 TA22 LT - Tiffany Blue - Mint Classic Weekend Cruiser 75 TA22 LT - Snow White - Mint Classic Weekend Cruiser 77 RA28 LT - Flubber Green - Mint Classic Weekend Cruiser 94 MX-5 NA8 Clubman - Red Racer - Looking for corners WIP Project: 69 RT40 Corona, 2nd WIP Project: 66 RT40 1600s Corona 86 Corona RT142 - Daily Driver 6GC 4 Life Baby!!! |
