It might look like its leaned left, but I think its b/c the rear bumper is a large arc.
I stuck mine out a little further-takes some of the curse off the lean, but it was also starting to exhaust stain the cutout. Damn PW ya know!

Ok so here's the _____ of it...
My wife's work parking lot sucks. On her way out the back end lightly scrapes the ground everytime she leaves because of the angle of the exit. There's no other exit and this is something I noticed too, no matter how slow you go.
Today she comes home and says that she noticed it scraped "louder"
Sure enough I go look and the tip is angled to the side. Not bent or harmed, just not straight like it was. Damnit!
I guess because of the larger size, it hits the ground easier. The lower springs make the car low, so I guess that's the rub.
Only thing I can think of is to try a round tip, so if it gets bumped, you won't notice. The oval, you notice if it's off kilter a bit, know what I mean?
Does anyone know how the Valor tip from Scion attaches? I'm wondering if something better than the 3 clamps would hold it in place better and withstand the daily scrape from her damn parking lot.

Ok, so I'm going to take it off...it just won't stay in place. Even after normal driving, it keeps coming loose and shifting around. It's like those 3 clamps can't hold it in place correctly.
I called the local Scion dealer and they said the one they sell attaches much more securely so I'm going to go with that...
Anyone else have this issue with the 3A one?
