Ever since I lowered my car I have had a problem with parking barriers.
Finally solved it with this mod!

Thanks for the info! Glad I was not the only person with this issue. I will head over to American Muscle and check it out.

Is this a serious post?


A. Back in.
B. learn where the front of your car is.

I've had a lowered car with a chin spoiler for 4 years, I've never hit the front.

Really... I try to back in, but it is not an option sometimes. I noticed you have a 2004? Drive a 2013-14, the hood sits a lot taller than a 2004 and it is hard to see when parking, especially when parking in a right facing curb parking spot. My old mustang was a 2003 and never had this issue until I upgraded to a 2013. The car also sits higher off the ground as well.

I agree

I've driven 4 or 5 different S197 cars. I didn't notice it being a huge difference. Just need to get to know the car.

Disagree. These cars are just tough to judge on the front. I've driven mine over 42,000 miles and still struggle with it. The craziest part is driving up in steep parking garage ramps, when you can't see anything at all out the front.

Although they can be tough to judge, it is not impossible. Having said that there are a few driveways and roads that I will not go onto, even stock height it is not the judging, it is that some approaches and railroad tracks are not Mustang Friendly.

Spatial awareness and point marking will save your front splitter and keep you from spending money on gadgetry that’s not really necessary. Save that money for go fast parts! Here’s how you do it without hurting your car while you learn: Take a 2x6 suitably long to see it out the driver’s side window and place it on edge 6 inches in front of your splitter. This simulates a curb and the ideal parking distance from it. Get in your car and situate yourself in the seat with it adjusted where you normally use it. Now start looking for repeatable reference points off of your car in regards to the 2x6. I use the bottom edge of my driver side mirror housing. When the base of the curb is just coming into sight under the mirror I know I’m close to 6 inches from the curb. Simple to do and costs nothing.

Nice video . I'm also at stock height. I've scraped my front lip so many times . I think the newer Mustangs must be lower than the older ones. Just saying...........
