Default Front spoiler or not?

Question to the pros...Just getting my first Z06 and was wondering why more people dont run front spoilers? Is it that they just get ripped off or smashed? My car is lowered on stock bolts so its not completely slammed like others I see. I love the look of the front spoiler, but just wondering why there not more popular. Thanks in advance...

For me it's simple... it wouldn't last a day before I ripped it off on something. Always liked the look of certain ones out there but there is just no way I would be able to keep it in one piece. I have a hard enough time not bashing the front as it is.

How low are your cars though...are they slammed or lowered on stock bolts. I guess I'm wondering how one would survive in a setting like that (lowered on stock bolts).
