Well, not neccessarily. You lower it and you will be under the bumper
of just about every truck out there, and many cars. The rubber bumpers
are 5 mph bumpers. The chrome would say 2 1/2 mph, I believe. But I
wouldn't count on the bumpers being straight even at that speed.
I think safty in a B with todays vehicles (and the people "driving" aka
talking on the cell phone) is a choice between little and none. :-)
Safety Fast means, get out of their way.
Personally, I think the RBB looks like it has no chin. I want to get a
LE spoiler for mine before I get it painted. It helps the look. It's
also pretty high off the ground. Looks funny.
Hey Twin Citiers! I drove my car today. Pulled it out of it's sleep last
night! It's kind of damp out there, but I'm thinking the top is going
down for the drive home. :-D
Paul.
