Anyone else dealing with this annoying front lip issue?

[Timmy2]

I'm having issues with my Type S' front lip catching driveway aprons and road entrances due to a 90-degree geometric feature sticking out about 2 inches. I've regraded my driveway, but it's still catching. Anyone else having this problem or thinking of shaving it down?

I don't know how common it is but you're not the first one I read about who had issues with their front lip.
If it's still happening despite the driveway regrade, maybe you should consider installing skid plates or protectors underneath the front lip?
There are aftermarket options that might take the brunt of the impact and help save your car from farther damage!

Have you considered installing a splitter guard or a removable lip extension? It might save you from shaving and keep your front end protected, what's your take on those?

Skid plates sound like a smart idea to protect the lip without shaving it down. I'll look into aftermarket options to prevent further damage

Good idea! A splitter guard or removable lip extension could work well to protect without permanent changes. I'm considering those options before going the shaving route. Thanks for the tip

You can also consider adding some low profile skid plates or lip guards underneath as a buffer

Great choice! Splitter guards or a removable lip are definitely solid options. I've tried out low-profile skid plates before, they're awesome for protection without ruining the look of your ride. Are you planning to stick to the streets, or do you want to take on some bumpy roads too?
