I have the Hamann front splitter (& rear diffuser, pedal set, shifter, etc.), along with the full H-Sport suspension setup. The front of the car has approximately 3" clearance from the ground, which looks *really* cool but there are drawbacks. Despite being super-careful, there are some scratches on the splitter from entering/exiting parking lots, etc.

I'm a big Hamann fan, but if I had it to do all over again I'd buy M7's front and rear setup. The front was $495 and rear $995 for unfinished fiberglass. Then you need to factor in paint, labor, et. etc. $$$$$$ And I have scratches...

We have about 3" of clearance as well. As long as you are careful, it is not bad since the nose of the car is very short.
