Default Too Late for a Body Kit?

After I put 19" rims on, I dropped the car 1.5 inches thinking that I'd never have the desire to put a body kit on.
Well never say never.
Is it too late to add a body kit that will have enough clearance on the road for a daily driver? Have any suggestions where to start looking?

mjmallstar, welcome to CL you gotta sacrifice something, to gain something it's depends on the bodykit, the road around your neighborhood and the way you drive. But...it's never too late to add kit.

1.5 inch drop and you are worrying about bodykit??
Come on!
I lowered my GS4 more than 2.5 inch with kit, and CLers thought I could go lower!
