I think it really depends on where you are driving. I got my C8 used and the one option it did not have, that I would have ordered if I had built the car, was the front lift. That being said, I have never scraped the bottom of the car so far (even with an aftermarket splitter). I am out of the city. I have heard from friends who work in TO and are going in and out of underground parking it is a must have.
