as said before, lower it. a body kit or lip kit will only make the car appear lower, however the gap will still be the same

Drop, and it depends on what your preferance is on wheel gap. Right now you're probably at about a 4 finger gap. If you want it to a 1 or 0 finger gap, drop it about 2.25-2.5". If you want 2-3 fingers, probably about 1.5-1.75".

Conservative drop use Eibach ProKit=1.5"
It will get rid of most of the gap. If you want little to no gap at all I'd recomend some Sportline springs. With a lower drop I HIGHLY recommend that you get some new shocks KYBs or KONIs.

look on the tires it will tell you a number like 50 or 60 and if you decide to lower the car, don't go to low maybe 1.5 or 2 inch drop
