I am sure he'll add his info when he returns next to this site, but my car and airdam are quite similar in materials and dimensions. I went out and measured: I have 13" wheels with 165/70 tires (slightly shorter than stock wheel/tire diameter) and my airdam's clearance from ground is 10.5cm and its face is 9.5cm tall.

See my car's mod & maintenance thread and my electric bicycle's thread for ongoing projects. I will rebuild Black and Green over decades as parts die, until it becomes a different car of roughly the same shape and color. My minimum fuel economy goal is 55 mpg while averaging posted speed limits. I generally top 60 mpg. See also my Honda manual transmission specs thread.
