I have no spoiler or valence yet. I do have a tow bar bolted in to place. Nearly every time that I enter or exit my drive, the bar scrapes. The car is within 1/2 inch or so of stock height (I am using a 55 tire rather then a 65).
I am worried that when I finally bolt on my spoiler it will survive until I get to the end of my driveway.... My driveway has a little ramp up (a sloped curb - very common in my parts) and is not flat to the road surface, but elevated a few inches. Zach |

My driveway has a little ramp up (a sloped curb - very common in my parts) and is not flat to the road surface, but elevated a few inches. Zach I have the same thing, and it can be aggrevating. My apron is steep and leads up to the sidewalk that I cannot change the elevation on. When I have my 16" wheels on, the spoiler just clears. When using the 15" wheels with low profile 45's I have to egress at a sharp angle to clear the road. When I do this, I can hear the tub groan out of protest. |
