Guest tbutera2112 Posted July 5, 2008 Report Share Posted July 5, 2008 ok guys....after me and rob went out to west side last night, i realized that this bumper is not good for my car....sits way too low, we dragged the chin spoiler all over the place.... im not looking to sell it, although i can if someone wants to shoot me an offer...the bumper is 9/10 condition but the lip is scuffed up pretty bad, its not torn or anything just scuffed up.. lookin for someone to trade me a stock gt bumper with full fog light assemblies....must be black (if you got a different color, paint it black and we can swap, will still be cheaper for you than buying a new one plus fog lights etc) fog lights both work, no issues at all except the lip...ill put pics up later, rob still has my car so i cant go out and get pics at the moment *lip can be replaced for ~ $100 if i remember correctly* Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest tbutera2112 Posted July 5, 2008 Report Share Posted July 5, 2008 you can see the scuffs in this picture.... these were the old ones, now the passenger side looks the same http://i70.photobucket.com/albums/i82/SaleenSS90/CIMG0254Medium.jpg Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Removed Posted July 5, 2008 Report Share Posted July 5, 2008 I will say this. my test launch on stimmel is the only time that rear end didnt kickout on me every other time 1st gear it goes left, when i snap second it goes right. The marks in front of the dealship prove that! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kirks5oh Posted July 7, 2008 Report Share Posted July 7, 2008 stop driving like a maniac. plenty of cars that actually came with that bumper from the factory do not have the same problem, and many of them are lowered as well. i'd leave the bumper on your car even though its not a cobra--it looks too nice to downgrade to a GT bumper Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
spankis Posted July 7, 2008 Report Share Posted July 7, 2008 stop driving like a maniac. plenty of cars that actually came with that bumper from the factory do not have the same problem, and many of them are lowered as well. i'd leave the bumper on your car even though its not a cobra--it looks too nice to downgrade to a GT bumper I agree with this also. I especially think the stock 99 bumper is rather unattractive, and the cobra bumper/cowl hood you've got going on really work well together. There are just some tricks to driving cars that sit low, and there's really no reason it should EVER scrape on the freeway unless there's construction going on....

y2k2gt Posted July 7, 2008 Report Share Posted July 7, 2008 Mine sets lower and I really dont have problems. http://i160.photobucket.com/albums/t165/y2k2gt/turborides1-1.jpg Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As long as I take the bumps right, I have zero issues. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Removed Posted July 7, 2008 Report Share Posted July 7, 2008 when your rolling 60 or so and a bump jumps out from no where and the passenger seat is loaded it , you'll have bumper drag. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
medium fast Posted July 7, 2008 Report Share Posted July 7, 2008 Everything I have ever driven has been lowered, never once have I had an issue with scraping. Drive slower and watch the road better. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest tbutera2112 Posted July 7, 2008 Report Share Posted July 7, 2008 everyone saying that i shouldnt have issues scraping, where you load down a car that sits a couple inches from the ground, its going to scrape...whenever we hit a bump on the freeway it did... and its hard to keep up with a group of bikes and ls1s if we're going slow enough to never scrape...i dont have any issues if im the only one driving....but with anyone in passenger or backseat, it will scrape/bottom out... http://i70.photobucket.com/albums/i82/SaleenSS90/1-3.jpg Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest tbutera2112 Posted July 7, 2008 Report Share Posted July 7, 2008 oh and i havent gotten rid of it...i might look into new springs instead....something with more weight transfer so it doesnt launch like a pig, and something to get the nose off the ground....thinking eibach drag launch kit....anyone use them? or any suggestions?

2 Sweet Posted July 7, 2008 Report Share Posted July 7, 2008 Stiffer springs maybe? I dunno, but leave the bumper on there. Looks 100x better than the GT bumper IMO Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ODoyle Posted July 7, 2008 Report Share Posted July 7, 2008 I like your car the way it is...Go with stiffer springs. And your car keeps up with LS1's:confused: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
medium fast Posted July 7, 2008 Report Share Posted July 7, 2008 As for the photoshop is that a serious suggestion ? Its a black gt with a cowl hood, I am sure you can find a pic. HAHA Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
