You would take the puddle lamps over the reverse dip and anti-glare?

Looks great Steven.
I was at EuroRev last week and Vincent put one of the ACS splitters up against the car and it seemed like it was about 0.75"-1" lower than stock. I guess it may be different when it's actually mounted, but just holding it up against the mounting location it seemed like something around 0.75" lower. I like them but I know if I get them I'll brake them off sooner or later.......if I don't then my wife will. As careful as I try to be I still rub the stock ones on driveways and parking blocks, so with these being fiberglass I'm afraid of either braking/cracking them of ripping them off of the bumper.

It may not have made the overall height lower, but the extra length will get you on those steep driveways and parking garages.

I really like the splitters in person, I know a lot of people don't like it, but I think on a black car its looks great, really makes the front look aggressive..just this morning two beautiful girls said my car splitters were seXXXy and then they flashed me and asked me to sleep with them.
