Thanks for the invite, but it is like a 2 hour drive from my house. The first time I went there I got caught in traffic on the way home that added an additional hour. Sometimes I don't know how you north Jersey guys put up with it.
I was wondering if you could do a before and after measurement of the clearance of the front bumper? I really want it, but not if I am gonna scrape at every speed bump and driveway. There are 7 speed bumps out of my neighborhood one of the ways I go. It sucks. They put them there to slow the speeding kids making their way to the high school.

I wouldn't worry about scraping the bumper .. The front spoiler can take an unbelievable amount of abuse (keeps folding back). I don't scrape on driveways/speedbumps unless they are ridiculously high; and I take them straight on. It costs ~130$ for a new lip .. and install is quite easy with two screws and a couple of clips.

Here is an idea of height..

Here is a picture of the rear wing .. it isn't very flattering but it gets the point across.



Will take some new ones once the weather settles down a bit (dust!).

Lardog,

It looks a little less than 6 inches. Are you lowering the car also? If not than a post gt3 measurement would be great. And of course a pic.
