i don't think my car is flashy, but i guess i am going flashy since i have the VIS kit and big rims on a decent suspension.

Is your car also your daily? I've got the version select kit and getting coilovers soon, but you have to understand this kit already makes your car low, add in a drop and you'll only have a few inches off the ground. So it really depends on your situation and where you live. The roads here where I live are decent, but there are a few tricky spots to drive on here and there.
btw, i voted for drive. but If I could I would get in on the AC group buy.

well the reason im debating is because I already have the version select kit sitting here and the advans. I was contemplating whether to sell the kit, buy a lip, tt shocks and put on the advans. So that way, it should have no worries about driving it daily, etc. Or, I can just do the same thing by putting the kit on and the wheels. It's really a tough choice. I guess thats why Im trying to get you guys help. I want to decide and start by early next week. So keep them votes coming in=)

ok i went flash according to the voting.
its cool when people pull up to you and stare at your car. its fun taking it for a drive and knowing you look different from the majority. i like it when i hit the track and people come to talk to me about my car.

now on the flipside. i hit the front atleast twice a day (daum cali roads). i get followed by cops. replacing tires on rims are expensive as hell. driving in parking lots with bumps suck. hitting a parking block is worse. getting the kit to fit perfect is a pain. complaining about curb rash. and the best one i can think of. When you don't wash your car your friends laugh at it. oh wait one more. don't ever get a kit and coilovers and raise the car to go anywhere ha ha ha. that is a big no no even cops laugh at you.

that is just my opinion. all complaints aside i would keep my car the way it is if i could do it all over again.

Half Vertex kit, any lowering/suspension setup, nice fat wheel setup with beautiful rims of your choice, NA-T/GTE, BPU++ mods and your done. Oh, and HIDs.
