Just got my 2016 R this week. My driveway angle to the street is at an angle that causes the front bottom to scrape as I enter or leave my driveway. I knew this issue so I requested my dealer to postpone the front splitter installation. It still is scraping even approaching at 45 angle. I plan on building a ramp to soften the "V" where the driveway and street meets. Are there other ideas before I proceed? Thanks!

You can buy driveway ramps for cars with low clearance... just Google.

I will trade you front lips, not to mention the standard lip is much cheaper to replace.

you don't need a house or a driveway. Just live in the R and anywhere you park is your home. All you need in life is the R. Everything else is just useless....

I had the same problem with my GT-R. I have the Bridjit ramps and they helped a ton. I don't have the angle issue, but I have a rolled curb driveway entrance. That being said, if I back into my driveway(making me pull out forward) it helps a ton. Before the Bridjits, It would rub badly backing out of the driveway. Backing in and pulling out forward and it went away. Now with the Bridjits, no issues either way.

Have you tried backing into the driveway and pulling out front end first???

Have you considered repaving your driveway? Not all that expensive. I did it when I got a 911 and it helped with the GT-R too.
