Thread revive.

I mounted mine upside down just to see how it would look. Doesn't look good IMO because the edges of the lip don't line up with the wheel well. Tried mounting it farther back so the edges would line up but that just made the front look corny.

Plus it made the car look kind of like a freight train. See shitty cell phone pics.

you can never really go too low. too low is when the wheels rub on the wheel wells when your driving normally

When your bumper and lip look like this after 1 month of daily driving, you might be too low:



But **** it I still ride dirty. On my 2nd bumper and volvo lip now.

haha I try to plan stuff out but all the city streets here are pretty hammered and not friendly to my bumper. If you ever start daily driving your car your bumper will look like my old one did in no time.
