Scraping

[Scaroline]

What's the lowest/most likely to scrape part on the CT4V Blacking? Its my first time driving a low car so I'm not sure which entry ramps I can go through and which ones are too steep.

The air guide under the car. Its hard to see because its a little further back from the lip, but that's the part that always scrapes first

It's all in the angles...

I think it depends on if your car has CF1. On my 4BW, I have more concern for the carbon splitter than I do the airdams (which is opposite from my Z06 which tends to scrape the airdams at the end of my driveway).

I have the Atlanta Raceway IMSA special edition 4BW. There is a TX DOT drainage dip between our neighborhood and the busy two lane road. It was next to impossible to cross the dip w/o damaging the front of the splitter. And damaged it got. Finally gave up and cut the damaged section off about 12" either side of the centerline.

Even so, I have to barely move the car while crossing. Don

I bought a 4 finally yesterday after I abandoned the idea a couple years ago based on 1) car looks too plain without CF packs and 2) I don’t see how I won’t destroy the front carbon splitter. Well, my car has the requisite CF packages and still….I don’t see how I won’t destroy the front carbon splitter.

Our community exits onto a state road which requires drivers to cross over a concrete runoff dip. It was basically impossible to transit w/o some damage to the front splitter.

Finally cut off about1 foot each side of the centerline of the splitter. Now, if I'm careful, I can exit w/o drama. Don

Before my driveway got fixed at the street approach, and before I upgraded to the CF splitter, both my plastic splitters had underside scrapes even though the center underneath is lower. Those still protrude further and I had to make some crazy turning movements to minimize scraping on the drive approach. I haven't yet scraped the CF, but as I mentioned the driveway break at the street was fixed by the County before I made the upgrade.

CF front splitter I've hit twice, one of them was a surprise and one of them was a very steep driveway I'd made it out of before so that was also a surprise. Both were taken at extreme angles and it was the outside (tire side) of the splitter. No front impacts though so it still looks perfect.
