Thanks for all your comments.

Scott... thanks for the new avatar.

I think part of the problem with the picture is the uneven slope of my driveway. However, I agree that it could go a bit lower. i'm on my 3rd lip spoiler already, so going too much lower could be a problem with clearance. The place where I work has a driveway that I already have to angle off to avoid scraping.

I bought these "new in box" on ebay.

I'll take a picture when I can, but for now, here is the tire rack photo. I ordered them from tire rack... $670 for all 4.

BTW, what front splitter is that, I really like it, kind of reminiscent of the 993GT2's splitter.
The splitter is a RUF style one. I've had two of the factory aero kit lips so I thought I'd try something different.
