Default GT3 bumper scraping

Anyone figured out away not to scrape bumper on parking curb other than not hit it? Parking sensor kit? Curb feelers(kidding) or just don't let wife drive car? Thanks. JW

You can get a piece of plastic that fits at the bottom of the bumper. Look at ebay and some speedshops online. It bolts to the existing holes without bumper removal.

I have not lowered my car and have the lip on it also. Never rubs curb stops. Sometimes rubs on steep driveways. Your car must be lowered?

Don't let your wife drive? Is she just a crappy driver? Or does she regularly drive something else. Not quite sure what you are asking.

The simple answer is DON'T hit the curbs.

The lower lip on the valence of my car was scraped on the entrance to my driveway, which is angled up, when delivered - I had it replaced, and no further issues. I front the car down the driveway on a 45 degree angle, and back it up the same way - it's a pain, but the front lip and the exhaust clear with an inch or two to spare.

Porsches aren't very long cars, so why park the nose so close to the parking curb? I typically park mine 18" or so from the parking curb, and the rear isn't even sticking out of the parking spot.
