Funny you should ask that because it was a concern of mine as well. The thing is, it doesn't lower the front of your car at all.

What you will notice when you look at an OEM non-sport bumper from a side-angle is that the very front of the bumper slightly curves downward as it makes its way to meet the side front fender. What the ACS lip does is it extends that downward curve all the way to the front thereby making it appear that the front is lower when in fact it is the same distance of the OEM bumper's lowest point near the side fender. You can easily tell because you will notice that the lip will hug the OEM bumper on each side when you install it.

Anyways, amazingly I think the one mod that turned into a major eye-catcher was the black front grill. It completely transformed the look of the car, (well, wheels too). I just love it!

 

thats good to know cause i would hate to add it on and then crack it on the first driveway cut out i pull into. thanx for the info

 

Looks awesome.

I really want those wheels. OEM?

 

Yes, OEM all the way with the 166's. I saw some replicas and they do NOT look the same. The major thing about the 166 wheels is the depth of the curve. The replicas do not have such a profound arch and they just don't look as good. Plus the last thing you want is a cracked or bent rim from a shitty Chinese built cast aluminum rim... no offense.
