I have had my GT for almost 1 year now...the only gripe I have is that some time I am in a bit of a rush and I scrape my lower chin on the curb or parking lots....which has led to a few white line scratches in the plastic bumper on the very bottom edge

Is the GT lower in the front? One problem is I have to drive over a full curb/sidewalk to get into my front attached garage. I try to angle the car as that helps. I agree I need to be more careful when I park in front of those small yet high enuf concrete rectangles they put in front of parking spots.

I sometimes hit the curb, but it's only because I am getting too close. Just park away from it a bit more and you should be fine.

Even my wife's '04 has chin rash from stupidly made driveways. My '03 GT was lowered with Eibachs. I got pretty good at angle entering and exiting steep driveway entrances. Sometimes, though, it was unadvoidable not to scrape.

Those concrete logs are there for a purpose, usually. Some parking spots face other parking spaces and I lost count of the number of minor crashes (we dont' call them accidents) that I've been called to. Some people actually depend on those concrete stops to tell them when to stop. How scary is that? Think for a moment of how they stop when the concrete isn't there.
![]() Back to your question, I've hit them a couple times when pulling in to close. ![]()

It's annoying to hear that scrapping noise from a curb with the bottom of your car...Everyone looks like you just got T-Boned and it's kinda embarassing, lol.

It's funny that you don't hear anything when you pull OVER them, but really scrape LOUD when you back up. With our 2002, I was always scraping things and when we traded up to the 2006 it did NOT scrape in those same places. At our local Home Depot I used to angle in, but now I can drive straight in the driveway. I believe that the front "scraper" was shortened up some, a 1/4" would make a great difference when the2006's were remodeled.
