can the sedan look sharp without a drop?

can the sedan look sharp without a drop?
I've got a little dilemma, and was hoping to solicit some feedback from fellow parents on driver....
For those of you with a wife (or husband) and kids, would you drop your G35 sedan even if the vehicle was the primary method of transportation for the family? Although I'd love to lower the car, I won't pursue it if the wife/kids have to pay the price in ride comfort.
For those of you that don't know, I was pretty much set on changing out my ugly OEM bumper and side/rear skirts the day I drove the car off the lot this past March. (I actually would never have bought the G35 Sedan if I didn't see the incredible pics of your modded sedans on this site!) Anyway, I'm now getting a bit concerned because I'm having some difficulty finding pics of hot sedans that are still at the stock height.... I mean--even if I do change out the bumper/skirts, I'm guessing my car will still look awkward without the finishing touch of the drop. (Believe it or not, I used to think the lowered look was kind of ghetto, so I've never owned a lowered car before.) So, I'm now at the point of holding off from the bumper/skirt changes until I can find someone I can emulate at stock height.
Any thoughts/ideas are greatly appreciated. Thanks in advance for your guidance...again.
P.S. I hope I haven't offended any sedan owners who are at stock height.

You will need to lower it to have it looking good.. Like yourself, I have a wife and a kid too and I never ever slam it...just lower it around 1" all around and you will find even with stock wheels looks heaps better. No amount of wheels and bodykit will make ur car look good unless u lower it.

The pics do not do justice, it looks soo much better in person...I'm telling you I'm very happy. I've not done too much, but what I've done is in sig.
I plan on a coupe middie or sedan middie and maybe 05 tails incl backup lights.
Its a comfortable ride, even with the 35 series tires and I could not be happier. I don't mind having a not quite stock, not quite aftermarket look.

*btw, there are 2 car seats hiding behind that limo tint in the back.

Someone put it to me simply.. whats the least insane drop? I don't want to have to mess with chamber issues.
