Front GFX scrape prevention

I know I'm not the only one here that scrapes the front lip leaving driveways and stuff.I was trying to think of way to prevent from messing up the paint and I was kind of thinking about using bedliner on the bottom and maybe like an inch on the front but idk how it would look. Any ideas?

4x4 Camaro. These cars sit so low you almost always hit. I killed the paint on the bottom of my lip scraping it against the ground.

Re: Front GFX scrape prevention

Angles. Take every damn incline at an angle. lol Don't mean to be blunt but thats what has been working for me. Trust me, I barely ever scrape anymore (unless I'm in a hurry) and my driveway is a 30-40 degree slant and at the bottom it changes into an even steeper slant (probably about 45 degrees) so the fact that I can make it not scrape there should show that it is a pretty good method. Also when you go at an angle make sure you slow the hell down. It's pretty obvious why you should.
