you can do it yourself as others have stated since the car comes with lowering bolts, but there is a limit to the amount of adjustment that you can do. when i lowered mine, i was able to bring it down about 1/2 inch adjusting the bolts. after that i cut the lower part of the bushing on the lowering bolt and was able to bring it down another 1/2 inch or so. car looks great now.
if you dont want to do that, you can buy afternmarket bolts that will do that job. i have no experience with installing them, however, so cant comment on the degree of difficulty.
good luck

Your profile doesn't show where you live or anything else for that matter? While getting a h/c, LTH install, Livernois Motor Sports in the Detroit area lowered mine.They are a forum sponsor.

Not a problem. That’s what we are here for. To help one another out. 
Is easy. I’ve always hit speed bumps at an angle and at low speeds. So, I just continue the same process. I don’t really hear myself scraping anything when I drive. I've been under my car many of times and not seen any damage to the vehicle. But I have an F55 suspension and glide over bumps.

I live in Houston, where there is construction 24/7 and 365 days a year. The first night I bought the Vette I took my GF out for a ride and we scraped coming out of her apartment complex. Then the next day I scraped going into my parent's driveway to show them the car. What scraps is front splitter, I don't have any actual damage on the bumper itself.
To me it's no big deal, the splitter is like $80 bucks new and it is a very strong peice of plastic held together by thick plastic tabs. Since the car is so low I use our lift Dynojet to do reg. maintenance and everytime I drive off of the dyno, it nails that splitter real good. First time it actually ripped a tab off and the splitter was hanging. I pushed it back in and not a problem.
Personally, it's a small price to pay because for me the lowered vette just looks awesome. Before I lowered it, I would look at the car and first thing that popped into my head was "Look at that wheel gap".
Just lower it, you will learn to drive it in extreme angles. Just hope you don't get caught on a ramp and start see-sawing LOL.
