wow...that is low. I've got 5" and I thought my car rode low! How much difference is there with the GT2 bumper though. I would guess it sits quite a bit lower than the stock one.

Watt, you crack me up!!! LMAO!

If you guys could see what it takes for me to get my damn car out, you would jump off a bridge.
It is stored on the lift so this is the routine:
  1. Move MINI Cooper out of garage
  2. Lower lift
  3. Place wood ramps on driveway apron
  4. Place metal ramps between wood ramps and end of lift runways.
  5. Get in car
  6. Back car out of garage
  7. Get out of car
  8. Take wood ramps to end of driveway (a hike) and place from driveway onto road (due to absence of final pavement course)
  9. Walk back to garage (another hike)
  10. Get in car
  11. Back car down driveway to ramps
  12. Get out of car
  13. Align ramps with tires
  14. Get in car
  15. Back car off driveway
  16. Get out of car
  17. Move ramps onto driveway to prevent other drivers from hitting them when passing by.
  18. Get back in car
  19. Drive off.

Welcome to my "low-clearance" world!!!
