Body Kit Without Drop

I was simply wondering if anyone could post pics of their cars or civic they know of with body kits(If possible OEM) that have NOT been dropped. With or without rims it does not matter. The reason I ask this is because of my lack of funds to drop my car and my anger with Koni. I think its ridiculous the price we have to pay for those shocks just because they have an advantage. I wonder if and when other aftermarket shocks will hit the market, preferably shocks that dont require to dissassemble everything. Any pictures again would be appreicated guys, because I need to know what it would look like if i was to get the OEM Kit. Thanks

Well I can tell you that if you get the OEM kit and the car isn't lowered you CAN get away with it. I used to have my car like that (bought it like that) It doesn't have that 4x4 look that a big flashy kit would have. You could get away with it for a while, but when you drop it it will look that much better.

it looks much better dropped....you can get away with no drop for a while, but i think for an overall well-balanced look you need it.

Do you guys think the tekico's when they come out will cost as much as those koni yellows? I hope not. its wayyyy to expensive to drop my civic. If its that expensive I might as well just get the true coilovers and do it the right way. you know?
