no it will look good. as long as there aren't to big of potholes or speed bumps around you it should be fine.

Be careful. If you drop the front more than 1.5", you WILL need caster/camber plates to get the front end aligned.

you will, but if its only like 1.6 or 1.7 you can get by without them, you will just have irregular tire wear, but its really not that bad and worth doing all the other work.

CC plates aren't that expensive and pretty easy to install. So don't go cheap if you drop her more than 1.5". Do it right.
