Default OEM Front Lip...

For those with the OEM front lip installed... exactly HOW much lower does it hang than the original bumper? Id like to install mine, but dont want it to get torn to pieces as my car is pretty low (not tucking tire, but cannot fit a finger between tire and wheel well... flush).

Your car looks very similar to mine in ride height, and we are both on 16s.

Thanks for the image... but it is giving me a feeling that it might hang a bit low. Do you DD with the car like that?

Im on 215/45/16s, so not much difference.

How has the lip held up? Scrapes/scratches underneath/etc? To be honest, I have this annoying little scratch on my stock bumper right on the bottom from a stray rock in the road, and wanted to cover it with the lip... but I have a feeling the lip wont last long on my car.

Edit: And I might add, a very a good lookin car you have there. 95% of EM2s I see are butt *** ugly.
