front lip carwash?

i am planning on buying one for my evo viii but i work at a carwash, therefore i get free carwashes and it looks like i might not be able to go in if i get one cause of the add lip being to low. has anyone ever been through a carwash with one?

I worked at a car wash a long time ago and I use to run my Evo thru the carwash all the time. But that was with stock springs and rims.
