I am really wanting to add the factory chin spoiler to my S. But I am concerned that it will drag pulling out of my somewhat steep driveway. I think I remember reading on this site that the spoiler lowers the front another 5 inches? I have to pull out of my drive now at an angle. I have stopped at the lowest point and only have about 3 inches clearance.
Can someone tell me exactly how much this spoiler will lower the front of the car?

 

i think this was discussed in a recent thread...try a search? i recall that the factory chin lowers the clearance by 1/2 inch. it's not outrageously low - you just have to be patient and take driveways veeeerrrrrrrrry slowly. 3 inch clearance coming down the driveway is alot!

 

KT's Suzuka is correct. It only lowers it about 1/2 inch. However, you may want to consider getting one anyways. They are only around $350 from HandA accesories. Then you will be scraping the spoiler and not the bumper. Besides, it looks awesome. Totally changes the look of the front IMO.

 

Hey MattH25 nice choice on the color.....i just got my s2k ....2 days ago....in the sebring color.
Is your from spoiler from honda and did u install it yourself or did u get the honda folk to do it....
Oh and how much did the front grill cost?

 

I recall reading that the stock clearance is 4-4 1/2". The chin spoiler drops another 1/2" which will give to at least 3 1/2". Not much room for error.

 

OK guys, thanks for the info. it appears that only 1/2 inch is the answer and I have just ordered the spoiler.
I also agree that the Coastal Metals front grill is a must for improving the looks of the S from the front. I have the black powder coated on my 02 Spa Yellow.

 

Well thank you, I think the Sebring looks great. The spoiler is from Honda, to be specific it is from our board sponser HandA accesories. I did install it myself. Not hard at all, if you know how to turn a wrench and drill a hole you'll be fine. The front grill is from another board sponser, Coastal Metals Products. Axcilla (David McCune) is the owner. It is a great product. Fit and finish is top notch. If you click on the site sponsers link you will be able to find both websites. I believe the Grill is around $120.

my stock bumper is a little scraped on the bottom and just a tiny little bit on the front from parking lot run-ins and the like... it appears that the chin spoiler covers a little bit of the front of the stock bumper... is this so? if so, it'll cover up my little scrapes and give me something completely new to scrape up!

 

What do others think about J's front spoiler?
