Tough decisions

Alright I've been saving up money for rims and a 2" drop, and I'm getting there, but I was just thinking I could get a the xenon kit I've wanted, and get it painted, for about the same ammount of money. So of course I figured I'd ask you all since I'm indifferent to either. Is it a big faux pas, or dare I say, ricey, to get a kit on steelies and hub caps. Or is it all that ugly to get the Xenon kit without a drop? I probablly won't have the money for the other until about a year from now so it's a real tough decision, any input would be appreciated. Thanks.

Definitely rims and the drop. What good is a kit without rims or a drop? That's like a boy with no ........

Get a Pro-kit drop, it'll allow the kit to have high enough clearance and no excess wheel gap.

For some reason I'm just not suprised at all, I guess I'll stick with my original plan.

If you do decide on a body kit don't go all xenon. I'd recommend xenon sideskirts with tsunami or octane bumper. But like the others said, the rims make the car. I could us a bit of a drop myself, and I have 18" wheels.

Anyone have a link to a site with the Octane bumper, I've never seen it.
