I scrape every time I come in my driveway. Are these worth it? http://www.ecklers.com/product.asp?p...N0SM2EPK1TA2B4

Naww, go to A&A Corvettes a supporting vendor on the lower left and get his frame saver kit, little wheels for up front and aluminium skid bars for the frame.

they won't do a bit of good, the scraping you are hearing is the air dam that hangs beneath the radiator. It is plastic and spring loaded, and scraping it doesn't hurt anything.....

I don't scrape when I back on to the driveway. Always scrape going forward FWIW.

:iagree:
Get the frame savers (and while you're at it the rocker rail protectors). It probably won't fix the scraping you hear though, that's probably just your spoiler. Believe me, you'll know the difference when you hit the skid plates versus the spoiler. :eek:

Correct, you aren't scraping the frame, you are scraping the air dam. The air damn is hinged and bends upward as it is meant to. If your air dam is damaged beyond repair, a factory replacement is only about $50. If you keep banging your car's frame on stuff, learn to park it properly.
