pics -fix for front lower trunk edge scrapes

[Dwanton]

i scraped the lower part of my trunk pulling into my friends driveway -- from then on i know to drive my spyder like a corvette -- any bump i go up on an angle . but since i scraped the paint off the bottom edge , it bothered the crap out of me. so i took door edge guard that we put on cars at work and you would never know it is even there , looks like it came that way.

also added a decal today for those people that like to touch things that arent theirs

Will those work on an RS? I thought they were RT only...

Yep. Harvey has an RS model now. He had a few at Spyderfest.

In case no one has asked up to now, where did the sticker come from?

Yes , attracts a lot of attention !

I thought the same ?

And if you know someone at a detail or Bodyshop you should be able to get a piece of door edge guard for free .

And I wonder what air restriction is caused by the full skid plate under the front ? I never saw one so I don't know . I only saw they made one for the RT models .

They appear to have instructions for it online, but don't have a product listed for sale:

I know they attract attention, but now you are making me worry about the safety for my new ride... have you had any damage from all this attention?

From a father that sat his 7 y/o daughter on the Spyder to take her pic, while I was in a Dr's office. She ended up standing on the seat & causing the damage in the picture. I have the same "Don't Mess With" sticker, but I didn't have it pulled out & showing. You can better believe, whenever I stop & the Spyder is out of view, I make sure it is Showing now. Seat was thankfully covered under warranty, so we have our new one on now:thumbup:

Ouch, I'd be so pissed. Too bad everything is plastic or one could electrify it....

Maybe a placard that says, "This bike is protected by Smith & Wesson!" :shocked:

I just verified that the RS bump skids should be available for order next week.
It will be the first item I buy for mine (taking delivery tomorrow!)
