I have the Aerosport front bumper cover and H & R lowering springs. As others have said you have to drive carefully and take the dips at an angle. I bought a set of PSS9 Damptronics, but I have't had the time to install them yet. I also removed my lower lip almost immediately and saved it. I bought several GT3 lips which were cheap ($88.) and take just a few minutes to replace....
Synergy what window tint are you using? As others have said, beautiful car.

I too had film on the lip and it does help. But no matter how careful one is, no one can prep you for exiting out a steep parking lot ramp and listening to it drag and scrape on the ground. Maybe a Cup lip that has the center cut upward which may prevent the problem or at least make it not as bad.
I'm dying to hear your review of the PSS9 Damptronics. Those that I know who have them, love them as they are very adjustable from ride height to rebound/spring rates making your very own version of PASM. I'm thinking of the PSS9 Damptonics as well.
My advise is to obtain a few GT3 lips and live with the fact it will scrape something, just be careful that someone does not hit you in the rear as you slowly exit or enter parking lots, roadways etc while you try not to scrape up the lip.

The sound of the lip scraping is terrible and never gets better, just gos with the territory.
My lip sits 3.75 in. above the ground and I just deal with it.
The biggest issue is the 3 ft. distance from the bottom of the spoiler lip to the front tire that makes the 5.6° approach angle a PIA.

Can anyone offer any advice how to approach steep driveways and ramps, speed bumps etc.? I'm also contemplating lowering my 997 Aero but first I have to learn how to stop scraping the damn thing.

it's so difficult because it's so low, and the front end is so long. If the driveway etc is steep AND narrow, you're basically $hit out of luck. Sometimes I get so desperate not to scrape that I back out of driveways to exit. Good thing the lip is plastic and relatively inexpensive to replace.
