I'm personally a fan of the CDC Aggressive and you may or may not have clearance issues. Just depends how much of a drop you have on your car ... mine is slammed and you can barely get your foot under mine ... so for me, I need to be careful.

I have the CDC classic and dropped it 1.5" about six months ago. No clearance problems yet.

I've had both the GT500 and CDC classic on my vert. It's slammed with eibach springs and I haven't really had any clearance issues. I guess it's like anything when you slam your ride, you just have to be careful of potholes and speed bumps. NYC is full of both so I'm extra careful but sometimes it's just unavoidable. The nice thing about the gt500 one is its like 100 bucks from the dealer so if you scrape it too much you can always replace it pretty cheap.

Well, yesterday I finally decided I liked the CDC classic prepainted chin spoiler from AM the best. So I placed my order. UPS says it will arrive tomorrow. I have more stripe material on hand so I should have it looking good by the weekend!

I have the CDC chin spoiler and i like the look of the car. It evened out the front with the side skirts. The OEM side skirts sit lower than the front bumper.

Besides. IMO most cars that just have a chin spoiler hanging off the front lip (without the rest of the skirts around the sides and rear of the car) look like a kid with a fat lower lip...

Not sure how you drive but I'm lowered and I dont have that problem. Also depending on the lip they can really work with your car. Mine is the same height as my side skirts.
