Pulling the plate off should take some considerable effort. Mine never came off, even at 120mph.. Now using a 'not-so-legal' tiny sticker front 'plate' on my car though as I like it better: ![]() For added security you could attach some nylon (fishing) wire to the plate and attach that to the car. So if it comes off it should still stay attached to the car. Bye, Arno. |

I hit today for the first time. It was an exit from my storage unit and it did not look very steep, but I heard the car hit on the street's surface.
Not too bad, but not great. Small chips about the size of a pencil eraser on both side. So when can we buy those polycarbonate skid plates?

This is hilarious. Registered to make an epic fail out of a first post.

Welcome Dustin! It's a great idea but it doesn't work for a few reasons. Anything you put under there just adds to the possibility of damaging the clam further. There are a few other threads (use Search) with some ideas but the car is just too darn low in front for some driveways. Underground parking? Nah... Driving carefully is the best...

Now EVERY angle is a bad angle. However, it definitely can take more grinds than the car.I didn't even notice the 2004 dates until I saw Randy's post about scraping for the "first time" and knew I must have entered a time warp. ![]()

Old thread, but still a problem even today.
![]() I approached a driveway into a convience store yesterday and realized at the last moment that it was VERY steep...so I turned hard right and backed into the lot instead. ![]() I still ended up with an extremely minor scrape...but I pale to think how bad it would have been straight on. The strange looks were worth it!
