Default Skirt Height Reduction
Does anyone have actual measurements of how much clearance you lose with skirts? Really want to pull the trigger, but not sure I'll be able to get in and out of my driveway!

I don't have actual measurements, but all the side skirts I have seen, the sides are not the problem. The front splitter is the ground scrapping magnet when getting out of driveways and parking lots .

You should be fine.

The side skirts go out more than down. Maybe a .25" loss of clearance.

I've put side skirts on this car and haven't had a problem.
