Alternative to lowering springs?

Alternative to lowering springs?
Would their be an affordable way to have wheel well inserts manufactured that would reduce the wheel gap? Wouldn't everyone w/o springs want them? They could attach like bodykit pieces right? Would it look stupid? I've got Maxspeed springs in my garage but I'm not sure I want to install them and sacrifice the smooth ride (Michigan roads are bad)...

But springs serve more than an appereance function. Many people, including myself, like their springs just as much for the handling improvement that they provide as the dropped appereance.

I too want to get rid of wheel gap someday...someday when my car isn't my daily driver, if I don't sell it. I want 18" wheels. I will never lower my car.
I would like to get rid of a little body roll. I was thinking of getting a FSTB.

It's not nearly as bad as people think, and there's this one curve on the way to work that's just yummy!

It would look stupid unless you actually had someone very skilled weld and build out the sheetmetal around the wells, which would be waaaaayyyyy too expensive.
Just install the springs. I live it CT, pothole hell, and my AGX/H&R's are absolutely fine and much much better than my stock SE springs even on rough, dirt roads.
