I guess it is called a lip kit, I'm looking for something clean and make the car looking close to stock but a lowered look. Any recommendations?

In a city with bad winters and bad roads, why even bother?

It's just not worth it if you live and do your driving in an urban environment. In the suburbs this stuff is okay, though.

I wouldn't trade the smooth ride and pure utility of being able to drive over everything in my path and hit the many potholes without breaking into a sweat until I can get out of the car and check that everything is still there for the look myself.

Well, I'm not trying to have the car slammed to the ground, just looking for a very thin lip for that custom look, trying to enjoy my car until winter comes back since winter is almost over.

I know what you guys are saying but it just looks sooo nice, so I'm just figuring out what is best for my car without going too extreme with the mods and still have that clean custom look.

Are you talking about the lip kit or coils? I live in the burbs but commute to the city with a beater car. But I have never been to NYC with the modded version of my car yet (wheels and springs) bc im scared of hitting big potholes even during the summertime. And even in the suburbs, we have real big potholes here too, I guess you always have to be alert. I really would love some BCR coils though. Air would even be more fun lol.
