Default Fabulous Kit

Anyone have this kit and if so how far does it sit off the ground? I have a bunch of speed bumps around my town and I don't want to get this kit if I can't make it over the bumps. I don't want to tear it off the first day I have it (My car isn't lowered btw)

Can't really offer tips cause I dont have the kit. But I'm assuming it would be a bad idea cause of the bumps.

if ur not lowered and you can take the bump slow, i don't see a prob...

next time you get to one of those bumps, stop halfway over it. get out and see how much clearance you have....
i think the kit is 1.5 inches lower than stock...

no prob...
if you do the fab rear bumper get a shaved rear hatch (the bumper has the plate recess in it. if i am thinking of the right kit...)

also try putting your front wheels at the edge of the bump th check the front clearance.

Yea I was going to shave the rear hatch Ill have to take a look at it. I don't expect many speed bumpts to be larger than 4 or so inches.

PM Mike (quadoptix). He has the kit and should be able to tell you how much clearance he has on his drop.

Or Joe (showpaojoe) has the kit also.

Does anyone have any pics of the Fab kit on an xA that isn't black? I really want to get one but I'd like to see it on a color I can really see the body lines on.

On a side note why does it seem they always show off body kits with dark colors?
