Default 3IS Bumper Conversion question (height) + Toronto-install?

Hey All,

I was wondering about the height of the 3IS conversion. I live in Toronto (snow-filled area usually) and I don't want a car that's much lower at all/in the slightest. From the pictures, some of the 3IS's look a bit lower, and that's a little intimidating to myself. If anyone can shed some light on the low height above the ground of the car afterwards, that would be great.

Additionally, I'm considering this, but need the help of a body shop to do this. If anyone knows of a shop in Toronto that has/can do this/can get me a quote, please let me know! Thanks in advance!

Appreciate all the reads and responses!

I'm also in Toronto, and have been wanting to do this conversion at some point. The only bodyshop that I've been to is Jay's Auto Collision. Other CL posters have recommended them, and I always see higher end cars on their lot when I pass by on my way to work. I spoke to one of the guys there [forget his name] and showed him pictures of the conversion and some process work that someone posted here. He seemed pretty confident that they could do it, but couldn't give a quote right then and there...
