Default RS-1 lip kit with around a 1.5" drop possible pics?????

I was wondering if anyone that has a RS1 Lip kit, or atleast the front lip with a 1.5" drop or something similar could post a pic or 2 showing how low to the ground it sits. I wanna drop the girls tC and kit it, but don't want it too low where she has to worry about easily ripping the front lip off. This is her daily driver and she puts 45 miles or there about a day on the car so just want to play it safe.

How many inches would you say that you have from the lip to the ground. I have a cavalier with a wings west bigmouth body kit dropped 2.25" on road magnets, I have right around 4.5" of clearence on the front bumper

its not really the speedbumps and driveways im worried about, all the little random potholes that you dont notice untill its too late that scare me. W/e people that are lower than me with a lip do fine so ill manage i suppose....

I only had it on for a month or so before I took it off for winter. I didn't scrape, and I went out some pretty steep driveways. You just have to learn how to angle your car.

Your car seems like it sits higher than mine in the front end.
