Best Mod Evar
regraded and repaved my driveway.
Now I can drive up at whatever angle I want with no scraping.

Oooo that is what I need to do! Everytime I FU*K*NG scrape my car
The only way to avoid scaping is to pull out at an obscene angle which is only possible when there are no other cars in the driveway.
Only thing is I live in a track home community so I wouldnt be able to do that.
Good mod though for sure!

Good deal. I always hated the sound of the front spoiler scraping.

cost me 2300 (Edit: I mean 2150 - got my neighbor to do his driveway, saved another $150
) to get 2/3 of the driveway dug up, regraded, and the whole thing paved.
County snow removal crews left a big gash in my driveway last year, so 900 of the money came from that

Nice!
Unfortunately I am still pulling out at an angle to avoid as much scraping as possibly.
That's definitely NOT a cheap "mod"
