Body Kit . . . Hope I don't get kicked out of here . . .
I've got a 89 EF hatch that i'm trying to figure out the best thing do with about the body (bumpers, whatnot). I need to put new bumpers on both the front and back, and on the sides, the undersides of the car are all pinched up and crappy looking because it's apparently been jacked up in the wrong places a couple of times--the unibody's not bent, but you can see the places where it's been jacked. What do you guys think of putting a body kit on it--nothing too space-age, just squared off front and back and some sideskirts to cover up that nasty **** on the sides. Any recommendations for a kit? And also I've never done it before--any install tips? Any good write-ups or websites about installing/painting/bodywork? THANKS . . .

i'm not a fan of kits, but this is probably the best kit around:
http://wingswest.com/products_...d=348
it even has install instructions.
take some more time to search around the internet and get your own ideas too.
and if you go for it, take your time and do it right.

This is by far the best fitting kit out there.

that's great, dude. I've looked some, but 95% of what I found was just really out there stuff . . . space-ship looking crap. This is exactly what I was talking about--squared off, clean lines. That's great. And for sure--nothing's worse than some screwed up body parts that don't look like they belong. Thanks a lot!!!
