Can you put an OEM body kit w/out lowering your car?
will it still look ok? I am worried about looking like a ricer if I get a body kit, I like the sprty/classy look.

i think the body kit will take the emphasis off the wheel gap. im am waiting for mine to be shipped and after that i will have it lowered anyways. but i think you can get away from not lowering it. and it wont look rice at all. the OEM kit looks REALLLL HOTTTTTTt

you definitely can. I had my kit put on when I bought the car, then I started with the other stuff. It just seemed cheaper to pay for the kit along with the car rather then dropping a large amount at once afterwards. Defintiely lower the car shortly after though. Makes a HUGE difference.

1) when you get wheels, you'll know if they'll rub or not
2) when you get kits, you'll know if you'll scrape or not
3) when you get wheels and tires, you'd know already if you'll need camber kits or not
4) as you get more suspension work done, you'd have changed your driving habit so you won't bottom out, bent wheels, etc
