lol it wasnt bumps, it was coming down a hill or sum angle like that, i remember one of em was when i was pulling out the circuit city parking lot, damn that was some steep hill, and to be honest, i cant judge if the lip is going to touch it =\ any clues? can you do the angle-foward coming down from hills?

IMO, that means you can drive. Its beyond me how people scrape the front lip at STOCK ride height. I barely scrape and mines 1-1.5in off the ground.

So I tried to take some pics of mine. Theyre so faint you cant see them in the pics.
Didnt take pics of my hood or front bumper. My front bumper and lip arent my OEMs. When I got them they were pretty beat up. Rock chips all over.
Under the lip is beat from being low, ish happens.

My hood has a few chips. Im getting more and more per months.
Heres the main Ewws my car has though.

2 tiny dents in the circles. They dont even show on the camera, they barely show in person.


A light scratch that follows the line. You can see the start, when you cant see in the pic is just the way it is in person.
Backed into a trash can that wasnt there getting home after work. My moms fault.



Backing into a parking space there was a light pole behind me. Of course I saw the huge pole, but what I didnt see was the power box mounted at the base of it.
Barely touched it and left a box indentation on my rear bumper and those 2 holes.



Just under the little window and above the skirt (thats not dirt), 2 scratches. That was from shipping, I dont think these count either as they arent my fenders.

These are the biggest ones though.

do you get chaotic over those?

Damn right i can drive you drive like its your life and eventually you will find some areas that has the potential to scratch your lip, and no im not talkin about curbs and those concrete car stoppers, those i avoid very much. FYI, PA has some hilly areas and IMO, you need a motor cycle if your fit cant squeeze by a garbage can, im pretty sure you had plenty of space on the other side, didnt u?

No, they dont bother me at all.

As for the garbage can, when I park in my drive way due to my car being so like I pull in at an angle. So I back out at the same angle. When I parked the can wasnt there, when I left it was. My mom just put it down.

As I backed out, it rubbed up against my car. Since the can was heavy it didnt fall over, it just stayed against my car.

I meant to say CANT drive. Pretty sure you have under 10,000miles too?

Heh... Not trying to hurt your feelings, just saying. Apparently youre flying into driveways and parking areas.
Just take it easy.

Your front lip looks like the under part of my moms front bumper, but her car is lowered.

I am going to go see if I can take a pic of my car by the bump of my driveway right now and maybe snap a shot of the underside of the lip. Might not be able to get the lip shot until i get it on a lift again.

Alright here are some pics.

First is two pics of my car with one wheel on the street and one wheel on my driveway as if I were pulling into the driveway. Now this is at the perfect angle so I don't scrape but usually 1/2 of the time no matter how hard I try I will scrape on the way into the driveway almost never scrape on the way out. That bump is about 4-5 inches tall.




This pic is closer and looking more under the car and on the far right side by the wheel that is already down. I should have taken a pic with the other wheel more on the hump that way you could see it at its closest point.





This is a pic the only chip I know of on my car. Happened almost right when I got the car must have been a rock. The rest of the white spots are just dirty spots on my car.



This pic is of some paint that peeled when I was washing my car at a diy car wash. There was a spot on the lip that looked like a small piece of bug so I got really close with the powerwasher and it peeled back the paint down to the primer on just that little spot. So there must have been a bubble in the paint there or a chip in the paint.

The chip is really tiny almost like the size of a pencil mark. The peel is about the size of a penny.
