The ground clearance is supposed to be 5 inches which I think should be OK. However I'm not sure that includes the air deflectors. I guess they're soft rubber so hopefully won't be an issue.

I have a bit of an angle where a driveway slopes up to a flat shop floor. A couple years ago I bought a Lotus with very little ground clearance and it would high-center and drag the exhaust across the peak. I think the off-roaders refer to it as the breakover angle. Solution:

I bought a pair of these hard rubber speed humps which I drag out when I drive the Lotus. Raises the rear wheels enough to clear the hump. Its not a daily driver so its not a big inconvenience to store them under the car and get them out on weekends, but I could drill and anchor them in place permanently I suppose. Its not a problem for the Mustang tho.

Happy to report that I had zero issues. Even though it looks like I'm about to scrape. I'm probably clearing it by a tenth of an inch lolol

Dang! 👍 Now all I need is to hire a very small person to ride in my trunk with the rubber ramp, and hop out and deploy the mat at parking lot entrances and the like! 😆

That's great!
Love to see some real world pics of the OTT stripes. I ordered the same on a black car.
