Need help finding a splitter that don't extend too far below bumper
So the front splitter I added sticks down too far and scraped my driveway. U can't see it but I want to replace it with one that don't stick down as far. And uses the existing bolts. Anyone have any suggestions.

Amazing to see how many options are out there.
When we developed the five1, we made sure to be higher than the fascia itself. Definetely highest ground clearance available, in addition with available side winglets.
Enjoy the research, best part of modworld.

I've been running WeaponX's splitter for quite some time now and have had no problems with it (except when the dealership ran it into a curb...ugh). My car is at the lowest factory bolt setting. It's another option for you.

Sorry for being rude, Why do you want the splitter? The purpose of a splitter is to improve the aerodynamics of the car forcing a clean split (reduced turbulent air ) at the front of the car. The hight of the splinter is important. To high and you reduce the effect. Additionally I notice that you have removed the air dams that were in front of your tires. Why did you do this? Again this will hamper the high speed aero of the car.
Bottom line, Are you looking for a look or do you want increased performance?

It appears from the photo that you have a C7 Carbon splitter? In any case, that's what I have on my car. The C7 Carbon GTX splitter is just under 2" high and at stock ride height, the splitter's leading edge clearance is about 5.5". I have no problem with speed bumps and most driveway entrances although caution is required in extreme situations. What does your driveway entrance look like? I agree with TBF's comment that if the splitter's profile is too low, it defeats the aerodynamic purpose which is to reduce turbulence and increase downforce at the front of the car. Also, IMO, a low profile splitter doesn't do much for the car's appearance either.

I did not remove the air dams. Is there anything I can put on the bottom of the splitter to keep it from dragging on my driveway. I really dont want to put casters on the bottom lol.
I think because the splitter sticks out farther from the tires that 2 inches is actually more because it increases the angle of contact. my drive way is about 25 deg. I back out and turn but still drag a little. over time I will wear a lot away from the splitter.
I like the look and benefit. I don't want to ruin it either
