Yes, if it ain't scrapping your not low enough.
No, don't let the driveway rape the chin spoiler.

I actually haven't scrap once at stock height. Still have like a 1mm clearance. A little more clearance if I angle the car entering and leaving.
What's your thought?

your going head on..

go sideways..you can do it.

ive done worse. and besides its the stock lip, it can take a beating.


i scrape my front stock lip day and night. still holds fine.

all it does is shave the bottom part down. no biggy, everything is replaceable.

I do go sideway but that is limited due to the narrow driveway, gates on both side , neighbors who park right up to the edge of the our driveway on the street, and to the right of the driveway is parking for my neighbor.

Regardless, I already bought Tanabe springs and will have them install soon.

This way old when I first bought the Fit.
I'm way low now and have to get creative getting in the driveway.
My new neighbor is a big d!ck who block part of the driveway.
Almost hit his bumper coming in this morning.

the fact that you haven't scraped in the driveway yet with that amount of clearance is amazing. I am assuming you will be parking on the street from now on?

How nostalgic. One of the first thread I started when I came to this site.
The pics was when I first bought the Fit and stock height. Then came springs and Skunks c/o. Now back to stock height and soon the Fit will be gone.
