Front Bumper Scraping
I am considering buying the new 06 IS next year. For all you lucky owners of the 06 IS, how low is the car in stock form? Do you have to worry about bumps, dips, curbs, and the parking stop block? Does the front bumper hit any of those things? I never own a low or lowered car before. I want to know how careful I need to be when I get one.

as long as you slow down for speed bumps and high angle driveways you don't have to worry about scraping as long as you drive with your head. it isn't so slow that you have to drive over speed bumps diagonally

Good to know. I never have to worry about scraping in my 03 ES. Going from ES to IS, I will need to be more careful of scraping.
How about the curbs or the parking concrete blocks in front of the car? You encounter them when you park the car driving forward into a parking spot.
