I installed the ZR1 front splitter a month ago. I thought I would share my experience!
1. This C5 is my DD and I have been in and out of parking lots and I can say driving responsibly and always being aware of clearance, I have no issues.
2. My car is not lowered at all. Stock bolts and ride height.
3. “The infamous heating concern”: I was very aware of the issues some people have with temps increasing after installing the lip, I can gladly say, in 90-100 degree Florida weather, my temps have NOT increased.
I DID drill holes in the fog light housing.
I DID clean out my radiator while the car was up (radiator air compressor tool)
I’m guessing you mean yours was scraping a whole lot 😂. Mine being a DD I’m pretty sure I’ll be running into that same issue, but that’s the main reason I went with this splitter for under $100. No way I’m paying $300+ for a splitter just to get wrecked.

Looks great! At that price even if you do damage it, you could afford to replace it.
Ive been running a C5R type ACI splitter (& lowered on coilovers) for years now and so far other than the occasional rock chip no problems, but you have to always be conscious of the splitter and road debris. A squirrel could make for a really bad day!
do you have any cooling issues with this lip ? have read some lads are having cooling problems with a front splitter on the C5
Still driving it daily and have seen no cooling problems. It runs at 19X while driving, and when I’m stopped at red lights for a while I’ve seen it as high as 21X. See number 3 in the original post for some of the precautions I took before installing the Splitter.

Thank you sir.. yes, i read that and other posts..
