....just try to remember how long is the front, and just stop it when you almost hit it.it takes time to remember...i always need to stop 2 times because i was too far from the curb( stop too early)

Regularly? No, since I usually back into parking spaces. However, some months ago I was in a tight lot and didn't have the luxury of reversing in, and as I was parked on a hill when the car came to settle I scraped the stock lip pretty good. I ended up purchasing the OEM lower lip as a result, which ended up working more to my liking, anyway.

If you have Ings front lip, it's a guarantee to scrape even at stock high. Just try to be a little more cautious when front parking and avoid crack/damage the lip. I agree with others, the scratches on the bottom are just fine.

Eh, No worries. Once you did it, it'll be a breeze and less painful next time.

I scrape every single day. When I put my hand under my front lip, I get pieces of fiberglass powder on my fingers.
