i've wondered the same and noticed it was only 1/2" like viper said, but it does give it a "lower" stance.

Ebay is the cheapest around so far, the poly ones being sold aren't bad at all. I have one and it fits nicely.

I bought a replica lip off of ebay for a little over a hundred bucks. When I first received it, the lip was totally warped. It would not even bolt on because it was warped so bad. However, all you have to do is take a blow dryer and bend it back into shape. It actually fits real nice. The bolt holes on the kit actually dont line up to the oem bumper so you will have to find a way around that. It's not too hard. All i used was zip ties and double sided tape. Fits just like Oem. Is it worth the money? Yes.

Oh and to answer your question, to me, it seems like it lowers more than 1/2 an inch. More like 1 inch to be exact but my eyes may be fooling me. I'll check when i get the chance.
