Most of the parking lots don't have too serious of a ramp to get in/out of. I get groceries in the GTS, and that has a very shallow gutter. Work deck is really the only issue I've run into. The majority of my mileage has been in canyons, and for those it's gas station -> canyon -> pull over at the top -> home for most of those trips, and nothing to scrape on through that.
Did have to buy some stupidly long ramps to load this car into the trailer though. Alignment next week, track on the next available Friday lapping day |

Take it off. No one will care. Those in the know will know.
Smash the splitter and the upper carbon fiber will take the load until IT BREAKS!!!! Not cheap. |

A new spoiler painted is over $2000 and since is made of super light foam it will not stand up to any adverse treatment. I made a copy of a lip spoiler from Alumalite (www.8020.net https://8020.net/65-2636.html or get it from a sign shop). After cutting it out with a saber saw I belt sanded the front smooth. The next set is to fill the holes in the front edge with paintable caulk. Finally The dealer painted the lip spoiler Acid Orange C2T. Looks like the original and super resilient.

is the fall line is quite a bit thicker than stock so ground clearance is worse than stock. I clear most speed bumps though. I have the same route every day so it's not too big of a deal. Just don't hit anything straight on and you'll be ok. |

I only pull my splitter out for when it goes to the track, but that is a lot. No need for street use. No one is going to speeds on the street for it to make sense.
