Scraping front end

[cruser]

The curb on my driveway and the front end of the Viper are not getting along too well. I have tried approaching/backing out at angles, but it doesn't seem to help much.

Anyone have any suggestions?

Have you tried rigging up some type of ramp?

Rancho makes a 6 inch lift,, It would look sweet!

As Chad said, try making a ramp,, asphalt or cement.

My driveway scrapes at times. I just go slow, it's on the bottom and won't be seen. I'm thinking of lowering my GTS, and if I do, I'll cut about an inch off the bottom and let it just taper to the sides.

Sure! Look ahead, not under. Eventually you'll get used to it.

mine is doing the same thing

thought about repainting it, but it'll just happen again, oh well!

 

[Andrew/USPWR]

eventually it'll will stop

Seems a little spendy, but what isn't for this car?

Leave it parked next to the curb at night. No one will mess with it.

I always scrape backing out. When driving out I never scrape... and I have my GTS lowered...Keep practicing...AL...

Cruser --

I used one of those protectors like the one that you showed from Parts Rack (I got mine from Snake Oyl). It worked fine for a while until the day when I hit an unexpected dip in the road -- the protector snagged on the dip and bent one prong under -- not a pretty sight. I took it off because I was afraid of further snags.

Just go slow and keep the angle as sharp as you can.

I've had my bumper removed and repainted twice. It's temporarily perfect!

hydralics on all four corners that way you can 3 wheel around the corners and impress everyone. lol just kidding just in case there is someone out there with a viper with JUICE. Venom 1 2000gts

 

[TOOOFST]

My drive is like a 45,If you hit the correct angle you won't scrape.
I'm also LOWERED.
