Thanks for sharing.
Thanks for sharing.
actually japanese fiberglass is pretty well constructed. I had my fair share of bumps and bruises and it really surprised me that my bumper hasn't crack in half already. Fiberglass get a lot of bad rap from the cheap ricer fiberglass kits on civics.

haha I hope you're being sarcastic lol, because barely scrape and this kit would never be in the same sentence for me. Especially lowered.

to get up on my driveway i forward and reverse about 2 times to get up and i don't scrape. that's just about the hardest place for me unless i go to somewhere i've never been before. you must have a lotta crazy steep driveway and dips up there.

And going forward and reverse two times to get down your driveway is hardly relaxing.

yea, you almost did scrape. Looked like less than a centimeter clearance left. If i had sat in the car, you woulda. I would so scrape that place, so i will stay away.
It works for me . Yea, i can't use lifts anymore either. how do you use the emergency jack??? lol. I find that useless now. Doesn't the sideskirt block the area where we are suppose to put it? I personally don't know how i'd get my car up lifts anymore either, but I haven't done so yet.
