Question Upgraded front bumper that won't scrape?

Hi guys, I'd like the get a front bumper for a '06 350Z but I don't want something way lower than the stock one. I have a veilside kit on right now and I can't get over anything without scraping. What would you guys recommend that looks nicer than stock? I'm thinking a poly v2, but I'm not sure how much lower it sits...

There really isn't anything in a front bumper that won't scrape, compared with OEM. Even a V2 bumper is lower than the standard body piece.

That is actually perfect height, but I'm really not a fan of the way it looks... Thank you for the recommendation though!

I worded that wrong I guess, I meant to say it will sit higher that his current set up yet is different than the stock style and will give him the clearance he's looking for.

valentin_84, I have the same problem, Veilside V3 currently installed for about 4-5 years, it is a mission to drive without scraping.
Probably will go back to stock.

Go with stillen splitter - it gives nice visual touch and doesnt lower the front end much
