See attached. Looks like the rear is sitting too high. Are there spacers in the front as well? And if so are they yellow? I couldn't see them up front

Dealerships suck. While you’re at it, make sure your front splitter has been installed properly.

Crap. Problem is the dealer is 5 hours away from me. Is this something a local dealer will take care of for me at no charge? I heard the magneride needs to be recalibrated

What is the clear tape on the side of the car? Is it some kind of protection when shipping it?

thanks Tom. No calibration needed on the magneride?

yes it’s track armor good eye. Needed to get the car filled up with gas before winter so it’s a good temporary solution until I can Xpel that area in the spring

Not unless you have error codes. Jack it up, spacers come right out

my car shipped from TX to me in CA. dealer there didnt remove the yellow spacers either. since the dealer also didnt install the splitter correctly, my local ford dealer just "warrantied" the splitter fix and removed the spacers at the same time. but the spacers come out easy. and no magneride calibration.
