Default Need help with exterior mods *PICS*

Hey guys. I live in NYC. luckily I have a garage so my car has really close to no blemishes. I want to keep modding my car but need ideas since I'm not sure if a front lip will clear the entrance to my garage even though I really want one. Does anyone know the height clearance for the front bumper with certain lips?

I already have wheels, springs, ordered red lugs, and spacers. Also I have 35% tint, clear front reflectors and a short antenna.

Here are some pics:



Any help would be appreciated, thanks!

My z is pretty low with a c west lip. I live in the suburbs in pa and its pretty much a pain in the butt driving to places and goin into parking lots. My lip is like 3 inches from the ground and i pretty much scrape everywhere. I would never dare to drive my car in NYC. But i think the c west lip kits look beautiful. You can always get the nismo kit they look nice too.

EVO-R has a nice CF lip for sale. Look them up. The truth is you may/will scrape the lip couple of times but that is the reality, things happen.

I have no problem with the lip SCRAPING, if it lowered my clearance too much im worried about it getting ripped clean off my car. Thats why I'm hoping someone out there will be able to shed any light on how much certain lips affect things. Would anyone recommend any lips in particular that seem to lower or stick out the most?

i´ve got the ING´S LX lip and clearance with lowered car (about 1cm) is like 7,5 - 8 cm..so it´s pretty low on the front.i wouldn´t recommid it to you.
but if you don´t mind spending some cash i would say go with the Top Secret, Veilside or Power Enterprise front lip.

It does not lower the front at all. It is stock height. The site should have something on it from the side I don't think we took any from the side tonight. I can later though.
