Guys who have installed the boss front splitter

If I were to put this on and drill all the holes like I'm supposed to, if I were to wanna take it off one day, would I see any of the holes looking at the front of the car? I know this is a stupid question, but what's even stupider is ordering the cs front and boss splitter like i did and not knowing whether I'm gonna be able to get out of my driveway with the splitter on. it's not the lowness of the splitter, it's how far it sticks out the corners. I'm afraid I'm gonna put it on and have to take it right back off.

Thanks in advance.
Keith

All holes are under the CS valance so the only way to see them is if you have it on a lift. I drilled and installed the splitter to the CS valance while it was off the car. Then there are just 6 more to drill and push pins when on the car. Lowered 1.5" is gonna be very low though. I'm factory height (brembo) and I have about an inch when I pull out of my drive and if I go too fast in the parking garage at my work it will scrape.

I am only lowered 3/4s of an inch, but have not scraped it yet. There were a couple of places I was worried about but it has plenty of clearance.
I back in to all parking spaces that I can though.

I think you'll be ok... and in the worst case scenario, you can replace the bumper cover anyway. IIRC, they're not extremely expensive and available prepainted.

EDIT:
N/M, I see you're talking about the holes to be drilled in the CS Fascia.

Thanks a lot for the info. I'm not worried about when I'm driving, I've been dealing with the effects of a lowered mustang for at least 15 years, but my new driveway is gonna be close. Only one way to find out.

Do you have to have a cs fascia to put the boss splitter on?
How much did it run you?
thanks

If your looking for the fascia the cheapest place I found is carpartsestore.com (where I ordered mine), I paid $290 for the one with fogs but I had a bad experience on a second order from them so I'm not sure I'd go with them again. Best bet might be Steve at Tousley Ford but I'm not sure how much shipping would be so maybe your local Ford store would match. Part numbers are:

BR3Z-17626-AB w/o fogs
BR3Z-15200-AA with fogs

Im actually not gonna use the splitter anymore. I got the cs front on and there's NOOOOOOO way I can get out of my driveway with the splitter on. I wish I could cause holding it up to it it looks sooooooo good, so the splitter is fo sale.

How about placing some type of metal plate over the driveway to lessen the driveway incline?

I could do that, it also worked using two 2x6s next to each, but I started to think about it and was like do I wanna put this contraption down every time I wanna leave.
