Hey everyone. Contemplating on picking this lip up but I am curious about how much clearance you guys have on stock height and lowered. Thanks.

On stock, you'll have to problem clearing the parking bump. Mine is lowered an inch on the front and those parking bumps are now a problem.

I'm lowered a little on coils and don't have too much of an issue, but occasionally will scrape. For me it's not a deal breaker, but if you're slammed I wouldn't do it keeping in mind the lip isn't polyurethane and will crack.

Im still at stock height but I do plan on putting springs on at some point. I am always about a foot or so away from any curbs or parking blocks when I have to park by them, old habbit from previous cars being lowered. This is probably one of my favorite lips out there. Its subtle which is kinda what I am going for. Anyone else have input?

I know I already I gave you my two cents lol. With springs or at stock height you won't have many issues. Plus it sounds like you are already well aware of how to drive a low car. I say go for it, love my lexon lip.

I have a rep and I love it. It does bring the clearance pretty low though. I have been to 5 different alignment shops and none of them could do it because of the lack of clearance the lip has caused.

I am stock height as well. I'd love to go lower but then it would cause even more issues with scraping on driveways and stuff. If I had the money/true want, I would do a cup kit or bags.

I say go for it. The lip completes the front end and gives it a much better look.
