Yah, the bumper coming to a point etc. are features that belong in the "Pictures don't do it justice thread"

I can't figureout how some idiot could have busted up that front. Backed over something and then landed on it? Or did it have to do with the strap?

BOYS, KEEP IT IN ONE PIECE TILL OAKVILLE!!

oops, #14. Everybody there was really impressed with the car. Except one guy yelled out "IT SUCKS" but maybe he was talking about his BBQ sandwich...It's kind of weird 3 different news stations plus the newspaper was covering the car today. Either this group has great PR person or it was a really slow news day...

It was hard to see the front or back, so I'm still on the fence about the GT's foglamps. The rep did open the door so we could see the back, but with all of us bunched up in the door I couldn't get a shot off. The back emblem is HUGE - It looked like 8" in diameter.

I also just spoke with my dad, he works for the GMC/Pontiac/Cadillac dealer here and said the bumper got damaged at Holmes Tuttle as the guy was backing it off the trailer. He wasn't there but a couple of the guys from the dealership were - he said it got caught on one of the ramps. Looking at the ground clearance in the last shot, I can see how that could've easily happened. Something for us to keep in mind if we'll be using ramps of any sort on our 'Stangs!

Thanks for the info. I knew it got caught on something backing up.

I bought a set of Rhino Ramps (shipped from the US) for $80 Cdn. They are low profile and made with plastic but very strong. They are for use with cars that have low front facias such as the mustang and the probe. Worth every penny. Got many an oil change out of 'em.

Thanks for the pics Buzzy.
Pics # 13 & 14 are my favorites, minus the tear in the front fascia. Redfire looks great in that lighting. That's the color I'll be getting.

Here's one place at least:

Rhino Car Ramps




Or type in Rhino Car Ramps into Google and find more results.

Excellent ramps. I can't say it enough. Very light also. I hang them on my garage wall with a nail each.

I have the same ones. They work great for low clearance cars, and well, all cars and trucks. They are light and easy to stow away high on the wall.

I think I have seen them at Wal-mart, but I know they have them at Auto Zone, Advance Auto, Pep Boys, and other.
