I need something that will protect the bottom of my front bumper while I come out of my driveway. The sidewalk seems to scrape it most of the time, anything I can buy?

unless its really a inverted curb,or a tight driveway, all u need to do is to come down at a angle where your car is almost parallel with the driveway.you could get one of those splitters that bolts to the bottom of the bumper,but that will sit even lower an MAY cause other problems...........gl

This makes me question whether or not you own a Z.
edit: Given your name, you may own a G. I can't say anything for them, but I've always had issues with my Z scraping even at stock ride height.

something you attached will likely make it lower, cause it to buckle and damage bumper more than just scraping.
modify driveway
buy a monster truck, put the z in the bed
or party all night, go straight to work and don't go home.

I also had it in stock height originally and didn't even have to go at an angle. Previous to that, I had a 2005 base model at stock height and never bottomed out on my driveway in 3 previous homes nor any house I visited. Certainly there are some speed bumps that are crazy. I certainly wouldn't drive over a curb either!
Pics of your curb, please?

Hmmm. Your post makes me wonder if you live in a house with no city, town, or county regulations. I have a 2006 Touring Roadster dropped about 2 inches on Stance GR+ Coilovers. I do not bottom out on my driveway, even though it is the highest/steepest I've had in my life. I have to go at an angel, but other driveways are not as bad. Maybe Ohio sucks or something?

I did this awhile back and the bottom of my aerosync bumper is still in good condition. All the scrapes are on the rubber piece.
