Front end question and pointer
Ive had the car a month now and have a tip for new drivers
the front end is deceivingly long. i have now bumped it 3 times . 1 time left a slight impression in the bumper, the other scraped a touch of paint. when pulling in to a parking spot with a curb , get out and check.
My question is for those who have installed the ACS front splitter. The website states it does not lower the front end. Does that mean it does not go lower than the lowest black skirt which hits on everything , or does it sit at the exact height of the "fangs"

I removed the skirt as it was rubbing my driveway every time, some of my friends with C7's have the same issue on my driveway. Although its really not an issue, but the splitter is not even close to rubbing.
You can see how high the Lashway is on the car:

This is why so many of us have installed the Curb-Alert...

After scuffing my front a little, I decided to always back into parking spaces with curbs.
