Its that stupid lip that goes into the garage opening, the part just behind where the door closes. I need to grind it down smooth. Every lowered car I own scrapes on it slightly, this one just happened to catch an open header (backing in). DOH!!!

lol I know what you are talking about. My ecutout always nicks the edge everytime I pull in, and if I have any extra weight in the car it hits noticeably more

Default Rear End/ Tire rim combo

Do you by chance know the rear end width, or how much it was narrowed from stock? Also what size tire/rim/rim back space if that? I'm looking into the mini tub 315 60 15 DR thing on my 1998 camaro....
