    My Body Kit Scrapes...

    Guest-only advertisement. Register or Log In now!
    So I just purchased an Ultrasport Avant with a Body Kit on it. The dilemma though is my body kit scrapes lightly, but only when I'm backing out of the driveway.

    I go as slow as I can when backing out, and I go at an angle as well. I'm still trying to find that perfect way to back out so that it doesn't scrape, but in the meantime, are there any economic solutions to my problem? I'm not looking to raise my car or lower my driveway as I have seen for responses on other website forums. I'm looking for a cheap way that works well. Any recommendations?

    maybe a 2x4 at the bottom of the driveway going perpendicular to the driveway. might give it less of an angle. just my .02

    maybe he/she means votex?

    anyhow, wood is a great solution if you need a tad more of clearance, but it would be a pain to lay it down everyday. Another option is to park on the street.

    What I do for my drive way is go down about half way (almost to point of scrape), then forward back up and reverse back down turning it all the way more. Helps for me, as I only scrape on my driveway as well

    Very cool. Griots sells something similar for a lot more money (of course)

    that curb thing is pretty nice, but sadly it would get stolen where I live.
