Not if he is on perfectly level, flat ground.....lol.
Bitch scrapes riding over a dime!

J/K, actually, with the coil overs, there is very little suspension travel, so it stays up off the ground better than you would expect.

Ahh..yeah, it scrapes. But, i'm really good about where I go with it. I avoid speed bumps. But, the front airdam, scrapes everything. My LG pro's have slight scrape marks on the back of the two collectors. Other then that, nothing else hits. The side skirts will slide over but,..thats pretty much it.

Nothing I can't deal with. Certain driveways, I don't go in. Just can't. I do have rollers on the front but, since I did my radiator mod for the blower setup, the front cradle is a hair lower,...and my blowoff(vortech race bypass valve) is pretty low as well. Amazingly, it doesn't hit, neither does my cradle. Just gotta be careful
