Default Scraping Noise

When putting the car in drive having an automatic and starting to move i get a scaping noise, not all the time. Sounds like the air foil in the front is scaping but it's not, tires not hitting wheel wells or anything esle of what i can see. Happens turning or going straight ahead! Need suggestions! Thank you in advance!

Check the air duct from the lower air dam up to the wheel well... if it got pushed out it may be scraping against the wheel... also are you hearing this on asphalt or only cement... if only cement is the cement rather smooth like in a parking garage? reason I ask is because my tires do the same scraping sound but only on smooth cement and at very slow speed.

I have the same issue, but feel it may be the rear end, clutch plates locking which puts the car in a 'binding' situation. Doesnt do it all the time, but......
