Default OEM lip - how much extra drop in the front?

How much lower does the OEM lip make the front bumper in the front? I've driven lowered cars my whole driving career, but feel that the s2k is already low enough in the front for comfortable driving in my area. How much lower does the OEM lip make the front? I saw one in real life and it looks like about an inch?

From a driving perspective, did you find yourself changing your driving habits once it was on? I know no OEM product is really that extreme, but West Virginia has some super weird angles since everything is built on a mountain side or in a valley.

That's what I figured - vegas is built a tad different than WV - I can deal with 3 to 4 inches of clearance, but after that, the weird angles here just become annoying.

I'm tired of driving lowered cars, thats why I wanted to be sure it wasn't so low I'd be annoyed with it.

Not really noticeable, but at $700 for OEM ordered/painted/installed by my five star Dupont rated body shop..... not taking chances at finding out so I take crazy precaution when I pull in somewhere.

I was wondering why the shade on the bumper and the shade on the lip look a little different.


I knew I should have bought my own lip from HTG
