I know when I was backing out of a parking space (next to curbing), I cut the wheel too soon, and my passenger front tire went up on the curb. I continued backing up, not thinking it would do anything to my car when the wheel came down off the curb, but it did. The front passenger corner of my bumper, on the bottom, is all scraped up, and pretty bad too. I know I should do something about it, but just havn't had the time.

The car isn't lowered, and I think it was like a 4" curb (which is the usual standard in curb construction).

i didn't measure it, i just did it from memory and its a median type of curb on a road, the bottom of my bumper has already been scratched up but its not noticeble at all unless u look under the car thats why I didn't care much for the bottom of the car.
