how much front ground clearance lost w/ stillen lip?

hey guys

I was wondering what's the length (from top to bottom) of the stillen front lip. I hecka wanted to get that at least and maybe the sideskirst and rear lip later when i have more money. The reason I ask the length of that is because the only mod i did to my suspension was getting Eibach Prokits. The springs didn't really drop me much... and i just wanted to know what the distance would be from the bottom and if it would look alright. Do u guys think just the lip up front w/o the rest of the body kit look ok? Thanks

I was estimating about 5 fingers clearance between the ground and the underside of the chin spoiler.
Quite a few member here just have the chin spoiler only and it looks acceptable. As for myself I wanted the full meal deal!

You'll have to give the springs some time to settle. When I had mine installed I could tell that it looked dropped from a distance. I started out with a 3 finger gap between the front fender and wheel. Now its like 2.5 fingers.
