Default anyone with aero lip /side skirts ...

currently my 01 coupe is all stock and I wanted to lip kit it up, but I also drive across dips and speed bumps daily and would like to know how much the aero side skirt and especially front bumper would take away from current factory clearance and if that would be problematic to me? If anyone else can reccomend me other lip kits and bumper kits that wouldbe ideal as well.

my car is black, so does that mean i dont have to paint the kits?

I also have a hard time seeing/judging how much space is between the back of my car to someone else's car, would adding a rear spoiler help me make better judgement? Thanks

your exhaust would hit a speedbump way before your sideskirts or rear would. As for your lip, it depends on how low you are. Are you going to stay on stock suspension? if you are then youll have all the clearance you need for daily driving.

What about them? You'll clear most everything on the road at stock height, even with an OEM style lip kit.

i already stated that youd be fine with dips if your on the stock suspension.
