You could go lower, that's nowhere near what I've seen some cars at. Could barely fit a piece of paper between some hah

I don't have any pics handy, but I have less than 0.5 cm clearance pulling into my parent's driveway. If I get the angle wrong, I scrape, and it's really not that steep.

The car looks a bit too low already. Looks great if were on the track!

Just over in our area, a car that low is going to get scrapped easily on those angle ramp approaches in a driveway or, going to a parade where you have that steep incline up or down! Could be a pot hole killer too!
