If you have a body kit let me know if you like it?
I have a 1999 honda civic EX silver in color, it was just in an accident and needs front and rear bumper covers. Should I go factory honda parts, after market OEM parts or body kit and what brands and places are good prices and still good quality?

I like some body kits, but I bet everyone else flames the thought. just dont get fiberglass, way to easy to tear up.

only ones i like c-west and backyard special, other than that get some oem replacement bumpers. also if you go body kit, word of advice get real stuff, will fit better.

basically get what you want, its your car.

I say OEM...that's just me. Do what you think looks best. Your car should represent you...not the thoughts of strangers on an online forum.

I just smashed my front and rear bumper cover too!!

DAMN SNOW, I am going with OEM style aftermarket front and rear bumper covers. They cost more than 1/2 the price of OEM geniune honda parts.

http://www.auto-bodyparts.com carry the front and rear bumpers for a really good price.
