What's your worst rub/scrape?
So like the title says, what is the worst rub or scrape story that has happened to your Nismo's skirt? I rarely rub but when it happens, it happens! Today for example, I was pulling into a spot and the ones on the left didn't have any parking blocks but of course the one that I pull into has one that is like in the middle of the spot. That was not pretty

Trust me, I do look in spots but for whatever the reason, I just couldn't see it, neither did my passenger. You're very lucky - This is my first time scraping in a spot, it usually happens in driveways

A few weeks ago I installed my Stance GR+ coilovers.
The fronts were pretty low and I loved it.
I totally forgot that my friends driveway is steep as fuhk!
I scraped my front bumper badly trying to get out of the garage.
I hate reversing up a steep hill.
Then I scraped horribly again because I didn't remove the two bolts in the fender liner.
In the end. I raised the car.
Ew. Wheel gap.

I was in the Nordschleife entering the Carousel. I dove deep like you're supposed to, only to result in the only scrape I have. That was the last time I ever took the inside of the Carousel. A few seconds off a lap time no one's recording isn't worth scraping.

Didn't happen in my Z, but in my BMW I was in the dunkin donuts drive through and it had that little curb on the passenger side that I couldn't see. It was kinda strange because it really didn't serve a purpose at all. Anyway, I ended up damaging both wheels on that side, 1 tire, and even knocked off the little block under the skirts where the jack point was. Around $2000 in damage! Thank god for a $250 deductible!

Yeah I went to run up on a rubble strip at Nashville Super Speedway last year and it turned out to be more of a rubble curb! Put like a 4in crack that won't close up in between the front splitter and that black plastic piece that is the bottom of the front splitter. It looks like crap but I don't go to car shows so maybe one of these years i'll get it fixed
