I am considering putting the front and rear California Special fascias on my car.
Does anyone know how much lower the front fascia is that a stock GT?
Will it clear concrete parking curbs?
I love the looks of the fascia and can get a good price from my Ford dealer, but I don't want to scratch it up the first time I parking in a shopping center.

It hangs approximetly 1.5" lower than a standard GT. You could potentially scrap it on parking stops at that height... but I vote get it and just don't pull in so far!

It will be close. Whether it actually scrapes will depend on the parking block itself, along with any inclines in the lot, etc. Just be careful parking. It's worth it.

Just be carefull if you plan on lowering your car. My CDC chin spoiler scraps on curbs w/ FRPP K springs. Good luck, and when you put it on we want PICS!!!

It will probably be summer. I teach at my university during the summer and make extra cash to pay for my Mustang addiction.

stan, be sure to order the FORD ACCESSORY bumper kit, and not the ford replacement parts bumper. the bumper will come bare if you get the replacement part. the accessory kit come with more and is cheaper. i THINK the accessory kit comes with fasteners. i saw a breakdown where just the bumper was almost $200 more than the accessory kit.
