Question about lowered cars with front lip
My car is currently lowered on Swift springs. I live in Florida so the roads aren't terrible but there are still some steep parts to roads with an occasional pot hole and speed bump.
Just this morning I didn't angle correctly and scraped the underbody wind deflectors that sit in front of the front tires. In fact, I scrape them about once a week, at least.
My question is if I ad a front lip (one of the smaller ones like Stillen), do they have the same chance to scrape like the underbody deflectors or physically speaking do they require a different type of dip, slope etc. to scrape. I am assuming since the Stillen lip is poking out that my clearance will be dramatically less and I wil scrape the underside of the splitter quite a bit.
Any help or opinion is appreciated. Would hate to invest in a nice front lip and scratch it and blow it out soon after installing it....

I'm lowered on Swifts springs and I have the Stillen lip/splitter. The underbody deflectors are much lower than the bottom of the Stillen lip. So no they don't have the same chance to scrape. Overall the Stillen lip is pretty thin compare to other lips. One thing to note is that the verticle part or edge of the lip does not go all the way back it ends. It is more like an 'L' shape so it is mostly flat in the bottom. I believe this is by design so that you can screw the lip to your bumper.
Here are some pictures I posted the other day after I installed the lip. You can see it barely reduces the clearance.
