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.

Beautiful looking car! It's going to look awesome when you are done.
As to your question, How Low Can You Go? The answer is: Not THAT low! I don't think you'll be able to use the car on the street that low, with that front spoiler. No matter how careful you are, that spoiler is going to get wrecked, IMO. |

Front a-arms should be at least parallel to the ground, maybe slightly down sloping to wheel. Your track gets smaller after they are parallel.

reminds me of how low my old front fiberglass spoiler was....
looks great, just make sure to watch out for broken tyre pieces in the road (we hit one, broke it, had it repared, next day, hit another, were gonna fix it, had the 914 towed casue of few problems, and it ripped off coming off the trailer, and decided, screw it) i will get an le valence instead anyways, looks great though, watch out with the dips, and debris, and it will look sharp |

Just cut a nice round hole in that pretty spoiler and mount a tow hook.

It is very low. I have scraped mine a few times. I made mine so I can take it off easily in case I need to.

Dang my car has at leat 1.5" more clearence than that and it takes me a couple of minutes to get out of the driveway and I still scrape almost every time ... As gorgeous as that looks I would bump it up an inch or 2 to save the spoiler unless it is going to be track only ...
Really incredible looking car! (IMG:style_emoticons/default/beerchug.gif) |

You will be fine. you can go over speed bumps with it as long as they are mild ones and not the ginormous ones. Just becareful when you go up anything that has a different incline.

Just to be safe, buy an aftermarket LE spoiler, and have 'em paint it while they have the paint mixed and the paint gun out!

What is the name of the color?
What is the number you used to determine the color? What brand paint did you select? What type of paint did you use? single stage, single stage/clear coat or base coat/clear coat? |

It looks sick! I bet you're on your bumpstops. BTDT. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/wink.gif) It doesn't drive nice that way. Stick some airbags in it, so you can drop it when you park, but drive a little higher. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/happy11.gif) Hey! Don't stifle me! (IMG:style_emoticons/default/happy11.gif)

What is the name of the color? What is the number you used to determine the color? What brand paint did you select? What type of paint did you use? single stage, single stage/clear coat or base coat/clear coat? Well its custom so: It dont got no name. So, How bout' "Socal Orange" I started at L20E - No formula for L20E in two stage - So we wung it? Winged it? We have been sprayin Glasurit for 30+ years in this family... Glasurit Acrylic Enamel - Base Coat Clear Coat ***I got close with the match to L20E - and then just decided to kick it up a bit. Its close to tangerine, but way less red... So, either you like, or your building a case??? It has not even been finish sand and buffed yet... |
