So I finally get my spoiler installed. My car looks tight. And I am enjoying an afternoon of BBQ and freinds. I go to my parents house as they are having a little party with relatives and so I had to park at the end of the driveway. I pulled of the road into the grass which looked to be plenty of clearance. It seems that wasn't the case. As I pulled foward into the grass I heard the sound. The aweful, horrible, dreaded sound. CRRAACCKKK!
I pulled the car back and into the driveway. That's when I notice the huge crack on the front spoiler. It cracked at both corners and a little in the front. Gee, that sucks.
I am not happy right now, although I have managed to keep cool because I will have a client of mine fix it by next weekend.
DAMN YOU BUMP IN THE GRASS! DAMN YOU!

Cracking fiberglass is a horrible sound...my VW baja bug has fiberglass fenders that I've cracked a few times. Very unsettling.
I'm surprised you even considered pulling into the grass. Being lowered AND adding some nose-hanger on...you ought to know better! Since I lowered my car, I've been pretty careful with my car. It's especially annoying in Alabama where the entrance to parking lots are ditches (storm purposes I suppose) and I have to park somewhere else.
Be careful!!!

Well, I took the front spoiler to the shop today. Should be done quickly.
Now that I am having this done, I have decided to change a few other things around as well. I am going to take off the mudstain decklid scoop. Repaint will be done to the decklid, roof, and also the end caps on the wing. I think that will go nicely with the look of the car.
New pic's to be posted soon!

So, you're leaving off the Mustang scoop alltogether? Wanna get rid of it too?
btw- I like the way the wing looks... suits the car nicely. And you'll have to come down this way again soon (available Sept.14th?) so we can all see it in person?

Rob- I was actually in the Minneapolis area Saturday night, but things did not turn out that great. The guy I was supposed to meet got lost, and than blew one of his airs bags on the Del Slo! He had to cruise home wiht the front end hanging down. I didn't even go to Lake Calhoun, and the roads seemed really bumpy by the MOA. I went home early and cruised hometown!
I might possibly sell the scoop and wing, but not yet. You are #1 in order for that. I should be available for the 14th so look for me there.

Sorry to hear that your trip down wasn't so great. I would've tried to meet some poeple in the area Saturday night- but had other plans (with my wife).
No rush on the wing or the scoop... I'm patient- and my car will have a lot of primer black for quite sometime! Just let me know (even if it would just work out for September 14th).

We are going to need a "Bad Day" topic added to the forum list.
