how much lower is the front with the OEM lip?

hello,

right now i have a 03 coupe with no lip. i already have issues parking in my garage...the rubber piece that hangs vertical near the very front of the bumper always scrapes the ground as i go up a slight incline into my garage.

i want to get the oem lip, but i'm afraid it'll be too low.

so i was wondering if anyone knows how much lower the front will be with the oem lip.

thanks!

OEM lip really doesn't lower it much at all...pretty negligible from what I remember.

at the very MOST, maybe half an inch. It's really negligible, so you should get it.

Get the OEM lip and start taking your driveway at a 45 degree angle. The lip will really help the looks of your car, I loved mine! (back then)
