First off, I searched but could not find this anywhere in the forums so sorry if its a repost. Ok well, I have finally convienced my parents into letting me get a body kit. My heart is set on the Cuda II, BUT there is only one thing I need to clear first. I have a curb getting into my driveway thats about umm I want to say 4-6 inches sloped. I dont have a digital camera at the moment to take a picture, but I was just wondering if anyone has a driveway with a curb and a cuda II kit that can drive safetly onto the driveway w.o hitting. About how low to the ground is the kit? Thanks.

Ahh crap can someone fix my title?? sorry

depends on if you have suspension or not.. i dont have ANY problems with my cuda II front, and my car is lowered 1.5" and i have a 1.5" lip on the front bumper, co you shouldn't have any problems.

if the suspension lowers it, it would hurt. you should be fine. the cuda kit isnt terribly low if you dont want it to be low. (putting lowering springs on it)

Wow, you're getting a body kit!!? Awesome! Are you going to put it on yourself, or have it professionally installed?
You shouldn't have a problem with the Cuda II, it's definitely not the lowest kit available. You should see how close to the curb your stocker is, the Cuda 2 will probably be an inch or two lower than that. Also, I would recommend getting the lip kit, or making your own like Socks' so you don't scratch up your new bumper.

Haha yeah, I convinced the parents some how, well my cousin does body work and has his own shop, so he convinced them for me. Lol just a matter of getting all the money. Hes putting it on and painting it for the cost of the paint only, so it should not be bad at all.

Where can I get the lip kit?

^^ Home Depot. Seriously! Search a bit, Socks did quite a write up on it. Basically it's the hard black stuff that holds your flower bed in, turned upside down and bolted on the bottom of your bumper.
