I hope to be installing the MTech kit to my car come Spring, but was curious about the clearance. Does anyone know what the ground clearance difference is between the MTech front bumper and stock. I haven't had the pleasure of seeing an M-Tech bumper in person so I really can't tell if it hands down much lower than my stock does.
Another option would be the "HM FULL Carbon Fiber E60 Front Bumper". Anyone know how that compares in clearance.

Has anyone ever measured the two?

If I had seen a kit by now, this would be easier for me, however; would you say that takes away about an inch of clearance?

That looks sweet. If you wouldn't mind, can you measure what the clearance is? If you measured from the bottom of the kidney grills to the bottom of the front bumper, I could compare that to the measurements of the stock.
