Did you try backing out onto road at a 45 degree angle? You also may be hearing the air dams which is normal. Maybe have someone watch when you back out to see exactly what is rubbing. If air dams only it won't hurt them.

yeah I’ve been backing out in a 45 degree angle. I just need some thing that won’t damage the front lip. I’ll give the website a **** and see what they have. Thank you

Looks like lots of choices. And as mentioned, if it is just the plastic air dam that is scraping, I wouldn't worry too much about it - inexpensive and easily replaced.

As others noted, are you talking about the plastic air dam on a base car?
Or the plastic front splitter on a base z06?
Or talking CF z07 package real front splitter.
If it's either plastic option, I wouldn't worry about it.
If it's the latter, then will have to look into the options given to you and choose what works best for you.

I appreciate all the replies. I have the Z07 package and that front lip is what’s lightly scraping. I’m going to try the ramps suggested and go from there. Thanks a lot and I appreciate the quick replies!

We have 3 homes with distinct driveways. One is kinda flat entry. The second is pretty steep and requires a 45 entry. The third is really steep and requires a 60+ entry. Often with friends driveways I’ve found that just switching entry sides from left to right or shifting the entry point by one or two feet allows success. And, sometimes, we are just SOL.
