Air Dam

Every time I go into one of my friends driveways my air dam hits and my friend always thinks that my car is falling apart because of the noise, because he likes fords. I know that I need the air dam there to keep the car cool but what could I do so it doesn't scrape other than parking on the street?

That just a part of life with a 3rd gen, if you can't take sloped at a sharp enough angle. And/or.....not taking slopes not slow enough.

Re: Air Dam

Involves quite a bit of fab work, but you could convert it to a front breather. Then you only have to worry about the front gfx scraping

I'm still working on tweaking mine.

Re: Air Dam

yeah I was going less than 1 mph and it still scrapes the driveway. Maybe I'll just through a couple of bags of sand in the back and throw em on the road. I guess I just won't worry about it too much.
