Installed ACS Splitter and Skirts (pic heavy)
I guess I missed that somehow...

Front splitter sits 5 1/4 inches off the ground. This is with the car lowered on the factor bolts, bottomed all the way out. So it may vary from car to car.
I measured from the ground the wheel well opening above the tire. That height is 26 3/4 inches. So you can calculate from there where it will on your car by measuring to the center of the fender well opening above the tire.
If your fender is higher, however much higher it is, should roughly calculate out to how much higher the front splitter will be. The Corvette has a little rake in its stance, so it won't be exactly inch for inch, but should be very, very close. I think my car came down about a half inch in front, thus a non-lowered Vette would have close to a 5 3/4 inch splitter height, maybe under by a 1/16th when factoring in the rake.
Hope that helps.
Also, one person mentioned it affecting air flow to the supercharger? Not sure how this would have any affect on that. The splitter does not affect air flow through the grille. I don't know for sure since I don't have a supercharger and don't know where it picks up its air from. But if it's from any of the existing places where a stock Vette picks up air from, then I don't think it will have any affect.

Very, very hot, or sic, or bad azz....whatever you wanna call it...it looks really good...Nice job....I may need to replace my RPI splitter with the one you have

What's bad is I was at the Bama Coast Cruise this weekend and other C7 owners were asking me where did you or how did you....hubby was right there (who rarely notices when I do something new to the C7) ut-oh....
