nose scratched ?
every C-5 I looked at has scratches under the front bumper. Even mine
I let my wife drive in town this weekend and while she was leaving a parking lot she scrapped a little bit. I am trying to teach her the concept of leaving a drive way at an angle.
These things are so low I would think you couldn't keep this from happening all the time. I can't even imagine how the lowered ones look. Does anyone make some kind of skid plate to protect the nose? I'm not talking about the rubber flap but the painted part of the nose.

I feel your pain, bro. The vette is my GF DD. I gave up on trying to get her to drive a little differently in the vette. I dont notice it until I clean the car, but it stills bothers me a little bit. I keep telling myself at the end of the day it is just a car, but that is not working. I told her I was going to put some curb feelers on the car. The look I got could kill.

You can buy these that will help but you will still end up scraping the air dam.

I dont have them but there are several members on here that do. As far as I know, there is nothing to help with the front bumper.
