Right Here, at the sight of the offense!! Or I could Just be careful, I know, I know... But for my Peace of mind, Do you guys thinks these might work??

I have curb ramps down...

I got a letter in the mail from my HOA, telling me to remove them or I will get a $350 fine. I told them to eat sh!t.

I will litteraly scrape no matter what angle I take my driveway at without them, and with them, I have approach nearly sideways to not scrape.

dont feel bad.. i really think that its inevitable with these cars.... and it can also be worse. Ive had my clam fixed 3 times now for various scrapes on that bottom part. The last time it happened I was totally sick with the flu and went out to get some nyquil: when i pulled in i put the front up on a parking block... it made a wonderfully horrible crunching-scraping sound i probably would have freaked but i was so sick i didnt really care at the time.

At any rate I had the exact same chunks knocked out of that part of the front and it fixed up beautifully so not to worry...

LOL, I am such an EMO, good call Dragon!! This was the first "mishap" (hitting the rev limiter doesn't really count) in 3600 miles, so it's kind of a rough one, BTW no estimate yet, will post when I get it. I'm not concerned about homeowners association getting on my case since some other residents have SLOW CHILDREN PLAYING signs on their curbs in DOT green (A few beers one night and they will disappear). Plus 1 guy with a Porsche GT3 had cement poured on his curb to smooth it out. Good idea but the plow trucks have made mincemeat out of it....I think the rubber speedbumps intalled curved side down will make a decent ramp, removable, pliable and $140 won't be the worst loss, I could find something nefarious to do with them if they don't work out.

Aw, I think it adds a little character. I feel bad now cause I have a nice little nick on the bottom of my front clam and just don't see the point in fixing it -too busy driving the heck out of it but good luck and have a great day!

$1000+ at a decent body shop to do it right.

Good luck. I get sick to my stomach every time I notice something on mine. Went for a spirited run last week and got too close to a gravel truck...and a stray one nicked my starshield. Not to mention the chin scrapes, and every scratch I notice each time I wash it! Enjoy the ride!!! Thats what I keep trying to tell myself...some day I'll listen.
