yea...just curious to those who have low rides if they experience this issue. Mine is currently at 3/4 finger height and rubs. My rims don't even stick out.

Here's my low car guizz

[liquid23]

Anyone know where to get that rubber lining thing, for the gaps in body kit?

you can find it on eBay, under rubber beading or lining. Sometimes you can go to window places to get it, they sell it as "weather beading/trim" stuff.
Also paint/panel shops can get it for you, it is just to stop the body kit form rubbing against paint on the body
Officeworks sells "Scotch Heavy Duty Exterior Mounting Tape" this tape is extremely sticky! (prefer this than 3M)

Those with slammed cars, do you get rubbing when driving on uneven rds? Mine rubs on the lining on the edge of the fender. Mine is half a finger and still rubs occasionally. I cant flatten my rubber lining much more

Really? Cut a hole in it? lol or get some sandpaper and sand it down. If its on the innerlining no one will see.
I have a giant hole on the plastic liner protecting the fuel pipe thing on the passenger side. Cut a hole and put heavy duty tape over it
Mine never did that even when i had my Work CR Kai's and those were tucked under the guards
But im on stock wheels and even lower now. No rubbing issues. My car hits the ground though. if that makes a difference.
Wheel specs and height?

@jPrak Do your bagged rear Vtec Kicked In Picture!!!

Too low?
Need to replace both drive shafts and raise the car

Also, Anyone know where I can get a Hood bra or those weather shield thing for the hood?

[Shimian]

wow. and I thought rubbing my outer lining was bad. From memory they are 225/40/18 18x7.5. I prefer not to scrape or hit the ground but still give the low ride look. Ive raised it by 3mm so ill take it for a spin shortly.
just plastidip ur hood.

Your wheels aren't wide so i don't know why you're getting problems. I ran 17x9 without rubbing issues.

I want to go for the USDM look. Dont want a complete black hood.

I took it for a drive. It only rubs when the roads are quite uneven or when I drive fast crossing tram tracks. 9/10 is ok but the 1/10 happens mostly when im on the inside lane (closest to gutter) and the road is unbalanced. It was rubbing 4/10 before I raised it by 3mm. I guess im ok with this. Ill just stiffen it a little bit more. Off to wheel align this weekend.

Half paint it?

Lol Not half painting

Thats only you driving by yourself. Passengers will make it sag alot.
You might aswell do 5mm and get an alignment and keep it there.
Is the height the problem or is it the rims/tyres? Why not leave it lowered and invest in Camber Arms?
