[QUOTE="Rruuff Day, post: 192890, member: 2217"] Don't worry about it unless your dementia causes you to forget it's a Vette and you wing the front end into a parking curb. The rubber air dam will scuff once it a while when transitioning from level to an incline or vice versa but it's rubber and is only 2.5 inches above the asphalt, and it doesn't hurt it one little bit. If it's a more radical change in elevation angle, approach at a 30 degree angle, getting that one front tire on the incline early. This will begin to raise the car before the nose crosses the deflection, thus adding clearance immediately and more by the time the other tire reaches the deflection. I drive over some pretty steep speed bumps and have never had a problem through 8 years and 2 Corvettes, and I also have a splitter on mine. Get on your knees, take some clearance measurements and exhibit some smarts when driving. [/QUOTE]
