Default Low mud guards/plastic tabs in front of wheels

Anybody else have problems with the two black plastic tabs located in front of the front wheels scraping when going down driveways and such? I am not "slammed" or anything. I am slightly lowered with a good two finger gap in the front. I scrape this more than I scrape my oem lip.

They are air deflectors. They aid in stability at speed. Lowered cars do have peoblems with them sometimes.

There is really no way of getting around scraping these from time to time. Fortunately, they are relatively cheap parts from Honda. You can replace all 4 for less than $40 from HondaAutomotiveParts.com. I ordered a new set last summer, but decided to keep my old ones on the car for now. I will replace them when they start to look bad.

I scrape my front ones alot. The rear ones have been scraped a few times. I've debated cutting them a bit since they are so much lower than stock ones are. As long as they aren't higher up from the road from stock height then I should be fine.
