Default How low is too low???

Well I have an AIR splitter that I purchased from a 'lister and have mocked it up in the photos below. My car is lowered (adjustable suspension) and as you can see, the splitter takes it low, low, low. My auto body guy is like "hell no, you're not putting that on there." My ride height is great where it is without the splitter, but could be raised a 1/2 inch or so as I need to get an alignment done.

So what do all you AIR users out there think? Would this just suck to drive around? What do you suspension guys think about raising up the front ride height only a bit? Sorry don't have any measurements but could grab them today.

And yes, car is undergoing a repaint!

Yes that is too low, you WILL end up destroying the FG splitter on the road at speed... not to mention you have almost eliminated the strut travel...
