Scratched up Seibon CF front lip

Hi guys. I wasn't sure where to post this; but I just have a quick question. Today, I went into this parking lot a bit too fast and ended up scratching my CF front lip. The impact made cracks along to top of the lip. I wonder, how do u guys drive ur Fits when they're lowered, in any way? I'm at stock ride with stock springs and shocks.

Yeah, I always try to angle my car, even though I'm stock ride height. But, there are times when you can't angle or go slow.

there's always an opportunity to pull in at an angle and go slowly. some times i need to circle the block once or twice if there's a car blocking my angle up a driveway; it's tedious but it's the price you pay to keep from scraping

if you passengers complain, tell them that you should've taken their car. that's what i always say LoL.

Lol at chaaree. Yeah, I do the same thing to prevent from getting rear-ended. Well, the Fit Sport is pretty low from the factory. If you're used to driving other, higher, cars, then you can still scrape the front. There are alot of online reviews where people say the Fit Sport is too low. Heh.

Well, lesson learned for me. I need to always take things slowly.

Yeah. I think I just need to angle more. The Fit is a weird car. Even when a slope looks all right, I still need to angle, or it scrapes.
