a little change to make the 'fat lip' a little less noticeable :)
compared to the old setup (below)
it's funny how that little edge on the lower lip of the bumper really made it stick out

LOL yes, it was this one or the EC one, they're about the same size - EC is wider, FTP is taller - but I couldn't pass on the price difference. Don't get me wrong, both are great!
thanks - I'm amazed how that little 1/4" edge changed the look
only for you
LOL 
I've heard that brake cleaner will remove the logo, but every time someone sees the logo, they know it's not OEM pretty much the only non-stealth part of the car

save your money on the lip and put it towards a front conversion. i'm in a similar situation with scraping and it sucks big time! i bought a front lip from gary that i removed after a few months because i was scraping the hell out of it. i didn't want it to become completely destroyed and begin looking trashy. the front end conversation really does look much better though.

Stop "squaring off" the turn into your driveway. If you come in at an angle the inside tire will help lift the car over the low spot in the road before the airdam smashes into it.
.... that or just drive around in "raised mode"

it scrapes even on and angle, I never square off/on the driveway... it's just a strange elevated angle with the curb adding 2" of drop... never helps to 'come in hot' to the driveway either
i think if I mount the oil cooler behind the HE it would remove any issues...
