Default GROUND EFFECTS QUESTION

hey guys... sorta noob to the tc... this applies to nebody who has the stocked ground effects or has an idea... I am debating whether to get w or w/o ground effects because it is $995 option... n was wondering...

1)how low off the ground will the car be with ground effects?

2)how many inches does it lower your car.. compared to just having the stock tc?

3)having the ground effects, is it low enough to scrape speed bumps?

thanks everyone

i have had the car for a few days, and it only lowers it like a inch or so, so you should be ok, im going to add the trd springs in a few month's, and THEN i might have some problems on Driveways n such...

makes the car looki better, i dont like it with out it,

If you REALLY want a body kit, and can wait, don't get the factory one. There are other one's that look better and would be the same price even after paying for installation and painting. For the $1000 price tag, it doesn't add enough to the car, so I left that option off.

If you want a body kit, but aren't really willing to part with your car for a day or so, and have extra cash to blow, then get the factory kit.

Just letting you know you have other options available to you.

Does not scrape even lower with the TRD lowering springs, I would have to say it brings the car own maybe 1/2in to 1in not to much of a difference but overall is well worth the purchase makes the car look so much better.
