Nope. Took the car for a spin afterwards and didn't notice any scraping at all. Looks like there's just enough clearance that I wont need to roll the fenders.

Of course I may live to regret this decision once it snows again...

: The picture doesn't do it justice, your car is so much lower than the pic shows. I think if it snows another 5cm you are in trouble .

The Honda dealership did that. They parked my car too close to a bush after a service and when I backed out of the parking spot, a branch got caught behind the plate and pulled it.

Okay help guys...lol...i'm changing my tires in my garage right now...and my wheel is frickin' stuck to the hub and won't come off!!!! This happens every year, but usually after a few mins of tugging it'll eventually come off, but this time it won't! Any ideas?! Also, how do I prevent this in the future?

Kick the sides a few times. It will eventually budge.
