Ricer-Metros are rare, but I have seen more than one Metro lowered and rolling gold wire wheels.

Why, thank you...thank you very much!
Although I like it, it puts limitations on me...If the frontend dips down from irregularities in the road, it scrapes. If I don't go up a driveway at an angle, it scrapes. What I'm trying to say is..........
...it scrapes...lol
Hacksaw.

I understand your scraping issue.
I took the chin spoiler from a S10 P/U and fit it to my wifes Avalon.
It scrapes also.
However
She has noticed that the car sounds quieter on the highway and the scraping is only on hard bumps or in parking lots.
To sum up, She is happy with the way it looks and the scraping doesn't bother her enough for me to remove it and get wind noise back.
