Will Stillen front lip spoiler reduce front ground clearance

I am thinking about adding the Stillen front spoiler but, concerned about ground clearance. Does anyone know if the spoiler reduces the factory clearance?

Yes, but not by much. Around an inch or less if I remember correctly.

Yeah a little bit. Most people just back into spots when they get their front lip, especially if lowered. I have the reverse cam for a reason; gonna use it.

Truth be known, down here in Duck Dynasty country (where camo wearing hunters flood the roads with their camo-painted, very tall muddy vehicles), speed bumps can be 5" high and parking bumpers can be 8" high. Even with no lip added, I must go around speed bumps and stop short of parking bumpers. The road clearance of the 7th gen is officially 4 1/2 inches - lowest ever for a Maxima.

Another problem down here in middle Georgia is the reality that folks go to polo matches, horse shows, hunting, fishing, camping, picnicking, etc, etc, and tend to park on grassy areas. The catalytic converter under modern vehicles is very hot, and can easily set dry grass on fire.
