I have no spoiler or valence yet. I do have a tow bar bolted in to place. Nearly every time that I enter or exit my drive, the bar scrapes. The car is within 1/2 inch or so of stock height (I am using a 55 tire rather then a 65).

I am worried that when I finally bolt on my spoiler it will survive until I get to the end of my driveway....

My driveway has a little ramp up (a sloped curb - very common in my parts) and is not flat to the road surface, but elevated a few inches.

My SL has a button you push to raise the car up for going over curbs and speed bumps in the parking lot. The other day I went to a storage place to pick up stuff for a club and they have those steeply angled driveways to control rain away from the buildings. As I drive in my dash starts blinking red. The whole gauge cluster and there's a warning that that I need to raise the car. Modern times these are.

Of course the car weights several tons too
