Im new here, and i was just wondering why so many people here seemingly dont like body kits, just wondering, i drive a 98 ex with a sohc n/vtec with an aem intake, dc sport headers,arospeed exhuast, and ebach coilovers. And i did wanna get a kit next.

I personally dont like bodykits because all of the ones that I have seen are *** ugly. I also dont like the fact that most of them are fiberglass and after about 2 months they have cracks and chips all over them from random scraps or dings.

So true. I have had mine for about a year now. Im ready to do a Office Space trip once i get some new fenders. But dont listen to anyone says. If you want a kit get it. Its your car right? Do whatever you want with it. My only problem with my kit was bumps (it lowered my car 1/2 a inch). A body kit is damn near the same as getting a lip, dont forget that.

1. majority off them are ugly
2. don't serve any GO purpose
3. they crack, chip and you have alot more to worry about
4. they add attention to youre car (and if youre car is street driven any attention is bad attention bottom line)

i know it easier to beat them up ,but i actually traded stright up my 97 mustang for a civic, just becuase there are a couple of civics around here with wings west body kits that look better than any thing on the road. they just look clean, i dunno i guess

So then that's it, if you like the way they look, go for it .

i personally like every car with there factory aerodesigns. when u add a body kit, it gives the car an un-matching look. I understand if u add a lip kit, to make it look more aggresive. Body kits make the car look really loud.

like the man above said, if u read much lately, u notice a lot of break ins and car jacking, ... its been that way here, if you want to do something in a body kit way, do like hood, or something less noticeable and more stock look like.

i liked my body kit for about 5 days...

it looks good in my opinion but i'm tired of looking out for dips and bumps in the road becuase i'm scared i'll bust the **** out of it.

a body kit can look pretty nice if it looks clean. such as a c-west body kit. but either then that most of them are too aggressive for my taste.

SOHC_MShue

c-west kit=only good civic kit out there. Everything else looks like ****

realblag

I love my kit. Some people say its rice, but I dont care. It looks good to me. Wings West kits are urathane (just like stock parts) so they dont crack unless you really nail something. If you like kits, then get a kit. If you dont like kits then dont.

p.s. thieves will steal ANYTHING. kit or not.

cwest

or you can't go wrong with OEM, IMO it looks the cleanest

on big rims and big wings

I have to agree with this, IMO i would much rather spend the money on something thats actually going to be functional, after all, what's the point in buying something that doesn't actually do anything apart from attract attention from theives and usually makes your car look worse....

do you really want to look like this:


or this..


I just think these cars look hideous

I think it all depends on your own personal philosophy of cars and the direction you want to take your own.

The body kits certainly do look exotic and I enjoy looking at them. Personally, though, my own ends are performance based. So when you think about performance, body kits add weight and they change the profile of the aerodynamics. Honda engineers designed the body of a vehicle to cut through the air as efficiently as possible, so changing your car's physical profile will give unknown results.

Like I said, you could care less about that nit-picky stuff, but to me, it matters.

I want everything on my vehicle to have a function. But I'm always a sucker for a good wing.

want a nice kit..a c-west kit..

I loved my buddy club kit on my eg...if done right it looks very good...don't be scared of glass....I drove mine around for over 25k miles no problems..never hit anything hard enoug to break or crack it...well except when that trash can fell of a truck on the highway but that would f- up anyone car stock or not!!!

pdiggitydogg

only kit I like is the CWest kit...thats all

lips are great because they keep the cars already smooth lines and add a nice tough of...something to them.

kits...

SOHC_MShue

oem style lips

slowd16z6

Who wants the police looking at them with their stock motor? Put that money where it counts!

Navid OG

personally i like only Mugen, Spoon, or OEM style lips all around..... when i was a youngin i liked the whole Body Kit scene .... but not anymore

1. they don't sit right
2. they are mostly fiber glass and break easily
3. they don't look clean and allot of ppl like the clean look
4. money better spent on other things
