I live in Colorado and the roads here are bad, there's so many dips and harsh angles every where I drive. There's huge dips in main intersections. Also on less populated roads and crossing major roads, there's usually a dip on both ends of the main road so if you're crossing at 40 MPH you're not gonna be happy especially with lowered cars. Pot holes galore here too.
Maybe where you're from but our roads suck, however a good driver here can avoid most if they're careful. Which a lot of us do. Still it's either way mistakes happen and I wouldn't want that risk.
Oh and my first scrap was done on stock springs. This should give you a clue of how bad things can be here. I did make the mistake of thinking I can go at it straight, but still.

Nice buy man! 
I dont comprehend the people that have major issues with the IC hanging just a tad lower than stock. I have the HAHN and it hangs pretty low and never have any issues, and Im on pedders which gives me a nice drop up front. If you have a good feel for your car then you shouldnt be having issues with parking. You should be able to guage the distance in front and just stop before you touch or scrape anything at all.
Aaaanyways, off topic kinda lol Awesome purchase OP. Plastic endtanks FTL.

I really don't like UPS, sometimes. My IC came in a little flattened on one of the ports. I've been through this kind of crap with UPS before and I don't wanna go down that road again, so I'm hoping it seals without slipping. Great job, UPS!!!

Even Frank thinks this is BS:

The install took 1 hr and 46 minutes from jack-up to let down. Not too bad. The only issue I have is that the bumper cover doesn't quite fit the same on the driver's side. It is rubbing on the headlight. I have to figure that out tomorrow.
Here' my old tank that I liquid steeled and JBwelded over the past couple of weeks.
ZZP IC installed and centered:
Boost leak test passed:
What everyone is worried about. It does hang about 1/2" below the front lip. It's a heavy-duty piece, though (all 27 lbs of it) so I bet it can take a pretty good beating. We'll see. I haven't scraped my lip after two years, but my wife might bash it when she borrows the car one day.
