What did you do with the front airdam? It looks like you trimmed it instead of removing it?

I did trim it. I like to be able to return my vehicles as close to factory when I trade them in or sell them and this was the easiest/cheapest way. Cutting off the mounting tabs of the part attached to the bumper would be $60 to replace, so I just trimmed the spoiler which is $26 to replace. I could of trimmed off about 3/8" more and it still would have hidden the 3 tabs. I might do it later.

The only place it rubs is at the back of the tire at full lock when it rubs the frame just a bit. Over time the tires will probably wear down enough from the rubbing that I won't feel it anymore. I suspect if I changed to 3/4" flat wheel spacers it would not rub at all on the frame, but I would have to use deep shank lug nuts for them to work. Since it's a '15 there's no crash bars to rub in the front. I have 1/2" flat wheel spacers to keep the tires off the UCAs, this gives it about 3/8" clearance there. I did trim the plastics in the wheel wells when I tried 2 other leveling kits before getting the Boss coilovers, so I don't know if it would have rubbed there without any trimming.
