Default Will she tear it off.

i am about to buy a header, but i don't know how much ground clearance there will be between the header and the concrete. my wife is driving my car everyday to work, and we don't have the best roads, and i am worried she will damage it on a speed bump, or pulling into a driveway..

my car is mildly lowered. how much clearance will i loose with a header.

i have a megan header and my hatch is lowered, with room to fit two fingertips in between the wheel and fender, and i can clear speed bumps just fine.

Tearing it off, maybe not, but it is very possible she can "damage" it to say the least

If she drives anything like my girl, then you may want to raise it up. It seems like girls don't feel the same pain when you bottom out. You know you just hurt the cars feelings with that pothole, and she'll (the car) make you pay for down the road. lol
