Bodykit Scraping

Hillsbaseball08 · October 15th, 2007, 07:25 PM

I was looking at getting a bodykit for my 02' stang and was wondering if im going to have a lot of problems with the front bumper scraping. I was looking at the saleen and diablo and probably wont get one if im going to have to worry about it scraping every time i hit a bump. If anyone has eather of these and could tell me about them it would be appreciated.

Gracias.

I had the saleen kit on my last stang with Eibach springs. I never scraped it but was always very careful of where i took the car. STAY AWAY FROM BIG SPEED BUMPS and you should be ok.

well which one?

Hillsbaseball08 · October 15th, 2007, 11:16 PM

Look at the first post (Saleen or Diablo)

TurboLX · October 16th, 2007, 06:02 PM

saleen

Saleen kits are hardly rice.

And they don't come down much lower than the standard GT bumper.

You would be alright.

If you were to put lowering springs AND a saleen front on, than you would be risking it.

just be carefull puling into steep driveways.

Hillsbaseball08 · October 22nd, 2007, 07:20 PM

It's nice but it's too plain.

Hillsbaseball08 · November 11th, 2007, 12:04 AM

On second thought it looks pretty nice i dont want to mess with the exhaust though.
