Slabo Posted December 20, 2009 Report Share Posted December 20, 2009 abuse, abuse! Ok, I have already done that and had to replace one splitter already. Luckily before I had the CF installed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

1badshelby Posted December 20, 2009 Report Share Posted December 20, 2009 Hey, i've done it too, in fact mine still has little hairs on the edge of the lip! lol And I hate it... BUT to leave it like that is what pains me.. It's like "hey I don't even need to use the handbrake... poifect" I just sand paper the spitter from time to time to keep the "hair" from getting too stubbly! I haven't made that mistake yet! I just drag a bit going in and out of my garage unless I'm very careful. Mike Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

lawdude Posted December 20, 2009 Report Share Posted December 20, 2009 I've been driving low slung cars since 1995. I know how to park 'em and how to drive at an angle over various "road imperfections". But I know at some point the chin of my Shelby will develop curb rash. It's some kind of immutable law.

MY500SS Posted December 20, 2009 Report Share Posted December 20, 2009 Wow, he or she is lucky that GT500 wasn't a 1/4 inch lower. That would've been really ugly. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
John Allen Posted December 22, 2009 Report Share Posted December 22, 2009 Back in early '07 when Ford started shipping the GT 500, the transporters were tearing the splitters off regularly. My dealer had to replace it on my coupe before I took possesion. I don't think I've seen a spliter that was not scraped, (except for my vert which has 19 miles on it).

Secondo Posted December 22, 2009 Report Share Posted December 22, 2009 It's one thing accidentally hitting a curb, but its a dumb thing to actually leave it like that! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DubbsFaris Posted December 22, 2009 Report Share Posted December 22, 2009 I have rubbed at dips in the road and stuff, but this is why my #1 rule in parking lots is: Always back in to your spot!! I even do it with my truck! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LGSchmidtJr Posted December 22, 2009 Report Share Posted December 22, 2009 OUCH!!!!!!! I park at least a foot away from curbs when parking, but am guilty of scraping at steep angles even though I take it slow and at an angle. Laurence Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
