Question On average, how much do GFX cut down on road clearance?

Just curious cause the area I live in has tall speed bumps and I really don't want to pull the front clip off going over one. I know GFX cut down on clearance but I'm curious as to how much is lost due to installing GFX. I know the number will vary with each kit, I'm just trying to get a general idea.

Thanks

If you're car isn't lowered you won't have many problems except if there's a dip in the road or maybe backing out of a driveway. I think gfx do take away about 2 in. of ground clearence. I have the Wings West kit on my car and I don't have any problems with it at all, but if there's an area where I think the car could scrape the ground I just make sure I'm extra cautious and find a way around or through it so that the front gfx piece doesn't scrape.
