ACI Chin Spoiler Question
I'm thinking about asking Santa for one of these. Can anybody tell me what the ground clearance is, assuming a "stock height" C5? I'm wondering if I'll still be able to get my racing jack under the front.

Your jack will go under just fine. The ACI spoiler is actually 1" higher up than the black OEM 3 piece air dam is.
ie: If your 3 piece plastic black air dams are 3" from the ground, the ACI will be 4"

If I got the ACI chin spoiler here in Vancouver I am pretty sure that it would be ripped off within a month due to some of our crappy roads and road work.

Although the ACI is higher, that does NOT mean it can not give clearance problems when driving becasue it WILL if you are not extremely careful. Even though it is higher, it also gets to driveways for instance way before the plastic OEM airdam does and of course long before the wheels do.
The ACI gets to the driveway 33" before the wheels do to start raising the car up the driveway so just remember that.
The ACI makes you relearn how to enter slopes and where you can and can not go with the car.
