I have to admit, I like this:

The quarter lip is actually the same as far as distance from the peak, the opening is also higher. But the bulge above the wheel arch is bigger.

Sounds like not a lot of gain, if I understand you correctly?

Edit to add: Maybe some measurements I could compare to mine, please?

It can be depending on how you go about it. You can add up to 2" of extra room with placement.

I edited my post, Vince. Can you pull some measurements on the 2" from some common point, like the body crease?

No need to be sorry, you're doing me the favor .

And I am not doing anything work related on Mother's Day, either. My wife will skin me alive.

Thanks, the pics will help quite a bit.

Can anyone guess the weight savings of Anvil carbon fiber fenders, inner fenders, hood, trunk, trunk filler panel and 1 piece rear spoiler?

Also looking at a carbon fiber nose and full bumpers.
