I have it and I have the eibach pro-kit, its not much lower then stock if at all. The only thing is that around the middle area where the lower grille is it sticks out about 2-3 inches from the stock bumper so its easier to rub on things. I haven't had any clearance problems with mine and I'm lowered! I can take pics for ya later when I get home from work.

EDIT: Here are some pictures I have for reference.

+1. The only issues I've had is pulling too far forward when I park with those concrete slabs in the front of the parking spot, but that would be a problem even without the chin spoiler. Don't hesitate in getting it because its a great addition to the car and won't mess with your clearance.

Mine rubs a little on the bottom (no big deal, can't see it) and i have the same problem with the concrete slabs (youll get used how far you need to stay away when you park). Mines made of a rubber though, so its a little more durable

If it's on a slope or dip, there is a good chance it may scrape.. Need to be cautious and minding things when you have a chin spoiler. Go up and down at an angle.

Can't wait to get mine. I'm going to pick on up as a Christmas gift to myself. I've seen one during the installation process (which looked really easy BTW) and the end result is only maybe an inch or less closer to the ground. Sure does make for a good look though, don't it? I can see why they are one of the more popular styling mods.

Of course! My driveway has one of those drops offs aswell where it slopes to allow water to run down the street and it will only slightly rub nothing major if I come straight off the driveway, if you do it at an angle youre good. You should check into getting the unpainted one just to see how it works for you, in the end if you want it painted I'm sure it won't be expensive at all; just a PITA to get off and put back on mine is pretty solid. Also remember my car is lowered on the eibach pro kit so at stock height you should have no problem (I really have no problems lowered).

It's just the standard vista blue. The picture makes it look a little lighter than it is in person.
