Will I have a problem with the parachute on my car.It blocks the rear plate a bit.

What state do you live in?

How far does the perch extend off the back of your car? If its blocking your plate I wouldnt run around with it. Why do you drive around with the bag of laundry on the car anyway? Obviously it looks cool, but something that I wanted to use to slow my car down I wouldnt want to just drive around with and risk something happening to it to where if I needed to use it at the track it didnt work right.

I live in NY.I honestly just wanted to avoid crawling under the car to remove the chute everytime I feel like taking a spin.I just had to remove it the other day to get the vehicle into a tight workspace and it was not fun.It's only a single 3/4" nut and bolt to remove it but the way it sits up against the rear bumper cover it's a bit of a pain in the neck.I have to have someone pull on it while I get under the car and pry on it.It's basicaly a 5-10 minute deal but with my degenerative discs in my back crawling under the car can sometimes lead to a trip to the ER....Que the violins.
Honestly I'd just rather leave it on because it looks so damn cool,LOL.
Just kidding.I do wish it had some kind of quick release,with a pin and a clip.It would make my life a lot easier.
As for the chute not working correctly at the track,I would know it there was a problem.It's a very simple device.It's activated by a cable with a pull-lever.It either works or it does'nt.Thanks
