it can go quite a bit lower... the first time on the ground we couldn't get the car off the lift

i would guess its dropped around 2 inches maybe a little more

mine is a knock-off....(SHHHHHH dont tell) mines 100% fiberglass so nothing a little sand paper and a hack-saw couldnt fix... but yea mine was off a little bit so i just took some panel adhesive (body shop grade) and glued on the front lip then used some seam sealer to hide the gap then painted over it all... i worked for a body shop for about 4.5 years..... its not perfect but i drive this thing everyday so i wasnt going to spend a bunch of time on it knowing darn well it would get all rock chipped up

Swap your brake light plugs. That will fix your light issue.
