Calling all Shine Bumper Owners (Nismo V2)

Its definitely lower and noticeably so, both from a visual standpoint and as a driver attempting to navigate inclined driveways and speed bumps. Id say its about an inch closer to the ground or even a bit more. Also, it protrudes out further from the front of the car due to the lip and general design of the bumper which further decreases clearance over inclines.
Even lowered I felt like I could go anywhere with the stock bumper. Now I scrape sh*t all the time with the v2.

Damn, was hoping this wouldn’t be the case. As is now, I rarely scrape my stock front (occasionally but can normally navigate around it), but with an inch drop I will be in trouble even getting in and out of my driveway concrete invert. I really don’t want to have to raise my Z as I am really happy with where it currently sits on king springs ultra low, will have to mull this over in my head. If it was just me driving I’d be fine, but the mrs drives the car too and it’s our only car
Cheers for the feedback.

I installed mine last night and abused the he** out of it, along with pushing in the front, where the canards would go, several times. Paint held, but these things are flexible, so get a good paint job. 
Paid $723.80 to have mine painted. Had the pearl white(Pikes Peak) on bumper, with the vent area painted black. Lifetime warranty on the paint as well, but that seems pretty standard with any reputable body shop. It's pricey compared to some I've seen, but the quality of their work is high.
