Default Front Bumper Height Differences

Originally, I was going to get the Mine lip but that thing is cost too much for a little lip (600). I could get a lot of things for 600 other than some little lip.

The two bumpers that I am interested are the Aerosync N1 and the Nismo N1. What I want to know is that are these two bumpers the same height based from the lower part of the bumper to the ground or are they different? I do not want to go through the hassle of repairing paint scratches on the lower part of these bumper when hitting on streets or on speed bumpers.

***Also I do not think the mine Lip will look right with a stillen spoiler, which is why I rather get those two front bumpers above.

ive had similar dilemas, was far faster to just call the manufacturers up and ask them to run over to a bumper w a tape measure and give me the height from the fender top/wheel gap edge straight down to the ground.

I mean I do not need to know the exact numbers but whether if they are the same height or is one of the bumpers lower than the other.

Dude,you are comparing apples to oranges and add,"you pay for what you get.
First,the Mine's lip is CF.The $ you quoted is a delivered price.You get it,30 min install,you are done.I've got one.Its perfect.Installed several others.All the same.
To get the Aerosync bumper,its poly.Pay to get installed.Got top prep&paint.Also,
its not gonna look good (same on the Nismo bumper)unless you do matching skirts&rear bumper.The Mine's is conservative.It will look good alone in CF.By the way,the clearance
in the middle to the ground is about 31/2".With a stock suspension,got to worry about speed bumps,steep drives and parking barriers.Going down an incline,its got anout one inch clearance.No matter what way you go,you will have to navigate differently
when driving.
Have you SEEN a Mine's in person?
You should.

All things being equal a front lip will normally be lower than a front bumper

The OP of this thread has had both options that you're asking about OP:

I would suggest using that as a reference

Youshould.
I wish i can see the mine lip in person but i have seen the picture on one of the theads.

I do not intend to install the lip with only cf but rather match paint my z. And i have read one of the threads where the dealer f up one of the members v1 lip just by hitting a curb and the lip just broke easily like a tiny twig. Not worth the hastle to replace a 600 dollar lip on a continuous basis.

By the looks of the member with a nismo, if he has tanabe DF 1.7 front springs + his current height = 4.5 inches. Compare to aerosync stock height is 4 inches, id rather get the nismo bumper since its much higher off the ground.

Thanks for the thread!

No problemo that's what I'm here for

Side note, I have had both the VeilSide V1 front lip and the Nismo V1 front bumper and the Veilside was much lower!
