After 3 years of scraping the bottom of my 2002 Mustang every time I back into my driveway I knew it was time to get this problem fixed!
We had a contractor tear up the old, steep angled driveway skirt and level out the driveway entrance. They actually took out part of the county sidewalk and replaced it as they lowered the angle of the driveway. It now has a slight "swallow" to it and the result is dramatic.
I've had two of my neighbors inquire about having their driveways redone after they saw what they were able to do with my driveway.
For many years it was not a concern as I drove SUV's which had a high ground clearance. But since I bought my Mustang it has been miserable. The final straw was when my wife just bought a new 2011 Hyundai Sonata and scraped up the bottom of her front fascia when pulling out into the street.
I'll take some photos soon along with a photo of one of the original driveway skirts to show the difference.
Several months ago I had to ask Bob Thompson to raise my two tailpipes to avoid scraping them every time I backed into the driveway!
