Yeah

Im not even on lowered suspension and Im scraping the bottom of my front peice on my kit when I go into parking lots that dip... And Im rollin on stock suspension so im confused... The only reason Im not lowering is beause of this, but its reality right now... I need to learn how to avoid this if possible cuz this kit is fiberglass and we all know how crappy it is...

So any advice? confused.gif I dont wanna end up with a broken kit frown.gif

I know what you mean, I think I scraped my first time after putting my kit on, luckly it was still primered. Like everybody else said it is all about the angles. Don't ever take anything straight on anymore and try to avoid big bumps and driveways if possible. I go out of my way to get to things now if it looks like i'm going to scrape. You will get used to the art of driving with a body kit.
