Kit without drop

Has anybody put on a Stillen lip kit without having the car dropped? Did it look doofy? The reason I am asking is because one of my rocker panels is damaged...and im looking to get a kit to cover it. It would be alot cheaper than having to get the section cut out and repaired. If anybody has pictures that would be awesome. thanks.

And thats without the drop right? One picture looks like it may be lowered a little. All in all it looks pretty good, and are those the stock rims just repainted? They look good too.

VIP, your sig pick is hawt!!

unfortunately, it looks bad as a comp background. do you have one that will work better as resolution 1024 X 768?

thanks

oh, and as far as a kit w/o drop goes, i think it is doable. a big improvement over stock, but still leaves room for improvement (i.e: drop)

i think you should wait until the summer to do it all, if you can. if you do it during the winter, you will have to go through months of sand and salt on the road, causing chips in the fresh paint. if you did it in the summer, you would at least have a few good months of being less likely to get chips and enjoy your beautiful kit a bit longer. just an idea. it probably wouldn't make much difference, though/

Kit would be going on in early spring. I wouldnt put it on in the winter. Especially here...they hardly ever plow my road, and the highway dept is 1/2 mile from here, so all the sand gathers up.

IMO kit without drop looks funny., i would somehow lower the car first, suck it up on the damage, then save up and get the kit to cover it up, i think its worth it.
