how much clearance do you have from the bottom of your front bumper to the ground? looks like maybe a couple of inches. you should measure it and then find out the dimensions of the CF lip. i would imagine the CF front lip is between 1.5-2.5 inches. You would more than likely need to go VERY slowly if it fits.

I have Coilovers and also have the Carbon Fiber Front Lip. It's not as low as you, but it does still scrape every so often. It's usually those steep driveways.
I'll see if I can get some measurements and/or photos for you tomorrow.

I have a mock up lip i just installed last week using double sided tape and garage door weather stripping to see if a lip would get ruined if i were to install one. lets just say it lasted two days before being knocked loose. It cost me 10 bucks for the mock up lip, maybe something to consider before spending the money on a nice CF one.

Just like with Greg, those steep driveways were the culprit with me as well.

Ill measure it to see today, Im not as worried about the clearance in front as I am about the sides...but I'm sure they'll both be an issue.

I got it from Lowes, or you can go home depot. Its just garage door weather stripping. You can see how it looks in the beggining of the video on the GTO.

right at 15 seconds into the video

Did you ever get the lip? Sorry, I forgot to measure and post up.
But I can do it now if you still need it.

No I havent decided yet, but from the looks of it just eye-balling it, I dont think its going to work out. I think it'd just get ripped off going out my driveway

but I am still curious as to the garage door weather stripping idea to test it out?

hate to revive an old thread, but its that time again....

I am thinking about purchasing the CF front lip but I am in need of some dimensions , if anyone could help me out that would be amazing!

I need to know how much lower the CF lip sits off the front, and sides off the bumper....

Here's a pic of how she's sitting right now....Thoughts and opinions

Ok, see if this helps, I have Tein Coilovers and in nornal driving it's fine. But on some driveways, I scrape. Like at work, I can drive up the driceway at an angle, but when I exit, I have to back out at an angle.

Here's some pics....
