Damn, gonna have to be careful. Was just noticing how low this sucker really is. Glad I splashed this beautiful front valance - I won't be as worried about scuffing it up.

I think the front looks lower than it is because you have it parked coming off a curb. Let's see it on level ground instead of being on a "V". (IMG:style_emoticons/default/smile.gif)

(IMG:style_emoticons/default/smile.gif) Folks we have a winner!!! Yep, that was basically my point, but everyone started going off in - [love it - bumpstops - articulation - drill holes in it - buy a spare - mount a tow hook] - so many directions, and not looking at the pics. I figured I would wait for someone else to point it out.... Its got a good 2 1/2 inches of clearance, when laying flat. Thanks for all the comments guys...

Of course you aren't going to drive a street car with 1/2 inch clearance on a fglass spoiler. 2 1/2 inch clearance on an Fglass spoiler isn't going to last long on the street, IMO. I'd still get a cheap LE spoiler and have your paint guy spray it while he is doing your other parts. Won't cost much, and at least you'll have it. |
