Default Chin spoiler

I am considering the agressive chin spoiler to go on my stang but i have a worry about ground clearance. Has anyone that has the chin spoiler ever had a problem getting over speed bumps!!???

I have the classic spoiler on mine... and hit entering some parking lots and drive ways.

I can NOT pull up to a parking curb stone... it will catch on those.

So I assume the Agressive would hang just a bit lower, so I would say YES you will have to be careful around steep entries and speed bumps.

A few of the guys at our meets have the agressive. I have the classic. The ground clearance is about the same, but the agressive requires a significant amount of cutting of the fascia. Also, a few of the agressive spoilers I've seen are starting to warp along the insede bottom lip. I would go with the classic.

Exactly right in all you have said. (I know first hand); mine hasn't warped yet but you need to do some work to eliminate the seam and the inner, lower opening side screws, that will show if you don't take matters into your own hands. I'm very happy with mine but took extra fabrication/finishing effort to make it right. I also did this with spare bumper fascia. ...Jim

The Agressive is a full 7" off the ground with stock front suspension; same as outer edge of OE bumper. ...does jut forward a little more than 2" and that is the only factor over OE. Curbs are a problem with OE bumper; I've had no issues with any driveway or speed bump.

I have not dropped my car yet and I have problems with a few steep driveways in my area. As far as parking, I back into as parking spots now. I have scraped the spoiler on the burb a few times and that's no fun when your spoiler is painted. I will have to have mine redone soon, after which time I will never ever pull into another parking spot head first.
