I was under the impression it stuck out further in front but wasn't any lower, and the side skirts were lower than stock.

in essence....yes, it does.

side skirts are lower and will scrape. front will make it harder to get over bumps nicely because it adds an inch or two to the nose, well beyond the wheel base.

Stock height, stock body.



Stock height, Amuse kit. Not sure if your kit retains amuse dimensions.

I am definitely going to make an aluminum shield for under the front and I saw someone (owner of black and orange Amuse convertible) make shields for his skirts as well.

Cooltoy nailed this one.. But beyond it hanging down lower it is the front bumper sticking out far that really makes it a pain sometimes. Gotta pay to play!
