I thought my 2k with the drift kit on stock suspension and rims looked pretty good. I'll have to find some pics of it later, but it was satisfactory.

yup, if you can only afford to do one major appearance mod to your car, lower it. A lowered, stock looking car (almost) always looks better than a car with a body kit and is otherwise stock.

i gotta agree with J caff, spend your 5 to 600 on lowering you'll be much happier with the outcome, low cars look sweet period, bodykits without lowering or at least rims look like rice boy stuff, besides that if you can afford the body kit plus the labor to install it, the materials to paint it and if you arent doing it yourself the cash to pay the body shop to fit and finish then i would totally lower it and stick some nice rims on there it'll be somethin you can take pride in knowing you did something really nice with your cash.

IMO you can have a kit on stock rims (z rims or something like that) but not steelies.
and you can get away with not lowering it only if you have nice rims. my friends z has the blitz kit with enkies but not lowered and it looks ok.

here is my car lowered with a kit but on stock rims....

^^^ agreed, if you have Z24 rims or LS Sport rims, it doesn't look bad at all. but if you're sportin hubcaps, forget about it. lol. i did that, and now i have pictures of my car that look really good except for the fact that i've got hubcaps on. it looks incomplete.

shifteds car looks ok because the drift kit sits much lower than any other kit. my buddy had a bomex kit w/ gc on his z with the stock z rims and it looked really good

without lowering... dont bother, just keep it kitless
