Anyone with Stock front bumper ever notice this?

Got a question on outside appearance modifications. Questions about body kits, exterior lighting, just anything thats a visual mod on the "exterior" of the car. Ask those questions here.

Anyone with Stock front bumper ever notice this?

Post by eVilcreations » Sat Apr 23, 2005 7:37 pm

Hey guys.....I took some pics last weekend, and noticed that the front bumper sits much higher than the rest of the body line.......anybody else notice that? It looks like crap...... Do the 01-02 R/T bumpers do the same thing? or are they flush with the rest of the body?

yes, as you can see by the pic, even with the stock ride height and rear-end "rake" the front still manages to be higher. once i install these new springs (which lower the rear more), the front will become even higher than the rest of the body line :(

Yup... it's everywhere. I hate it when I see my car from the side

You can kinda see it here if you follow the line of the sideskirts down to the bumper line.

Here is mine with the R/T front bumper:

My R/T bumper sits alot lower than the rest of the car. So this is what your car would look like with an R/T front bumper.
