Default Amuse Front Bumper w/ Diffuser. Daily?

I've just recently purchased a Shine Amuse front bumper. I really like the front diffuser with it however I'm held back by the fact of how much lower is going to be. Being that it extends further out from the front bumper, in turn causing it to bottom out quicker.

Those with this set-up please chime in, also if you daily your z please say so.

Enter / exit at angles are a given of course. Was it really that much of a pain in the ****?

Really depends on how low you are and where you normally will be driving. It does extend the front but the center section is raised alittle which helps. I pretty much only scrape the very ends on each side which are the lowest part. I don't daily drive it anymore.
Here is a pic of my car for refernce, I could daily at this height if I was very careful but wouldn't go any lower.

I am currently lowered at 1.2 inches front / 1.0 inches rear. Wheel set-up is:

18x9.5 + 15 245/40/18 Front
18x10.5 + 15 275/40/18 Rear

I will be driving to and from work, that's about it.

Sounds like it will be ok, I am not sure how much I lower I am as I never bothered to measure it. Just avoid big potholes and dips in the road.
