Had a meeting with a bunch of weeds and a couple decent sized saplings over the weekend. Some ****tard in a pickup cut me off as I was merging onto the expressway as it was POURING and before I could recover from having to swerve I was off the road. I enede up going off mostly straight, but the pass side of my car took some major damage, as did the front bumper and both side skirts. So what do I go with now for the exterior? I liked my ABC exclusive bumper, but it was SOOO damn low that I was always afraid of smacking a curb because it was literally 5" off the ground, plus I couldnt even get a jack under it. Go with stock and save some $$$ or something like a Saleen or Stalker kit? BTW here's some pics. I know they're crappy (cam phone), but they're all I have right now. I'll snap some better pics tommorow. I didnt hurt the wheels AT ALL (fortunately), but one of the fronts is flat. I drove home @ 55mph on a tire with maybe 10psi, god these Nitto sidewalls rock. My nice trail into the woods Was DEF stuck Like its trying to eat the ground. MMmmmmm Well I didnt need the lip on my bumper anyways, did I?
That sux man. Hate to hear that. It's all personal preference now ...... like me ..... I'd go with a Cobra bumper .... or the ABC Cobra (has lip). All up to you. BTW, pics no worky.
That sucks man, I did the same thing to my lightning about 2 and a half months after I got it. I was in pouring rain too, but I was just running on bald tires on the interstate and just slid right off the road and hit a tree. Anywho, if money is an issue, I'd say o back to stock, but, if not, grab a new bumper you like, might as well get some silver lining outta this dark cloud.
Man looks like you got pretty lucky not to have drilled one of those trees and totalled you car!! That sucks man. BTW where did this happen at??
I-75 southbound, the entrance ramp onto the highway from M-15 (clarkston exit). And yeah there was a point where I knew it was going off, so I tried to steer it as best I could into the grass, and away from the large trees.
man thats horrible, i know how you feel! Anyhow, i would get a saleen bumper, as i did. Its pleanty high off the ground(about the same height as stock) and looks much better IMO. this is when i wrecked my car: Here it is now, before paint
Wow that sucks man... I vote the cobra bumper...it just never seems to get old. I was thinking cobra or saleen. Over all I just like the cobra better.
Hey, did you see any deer. Just joking it hurts me deep inside when I see a Mustang in trouble. Good luck with your future plans.
That sucks dude! I loved your car! It's so simple, but it's fast for what it is! Don't get the stalker kit, at least not the hood, looks gay IMHO. I like the Saleen better, but I like the 96-98 Cobra best. Doesn't Roush make a sweet bumper for our year?
