Because they're cheap, ugly and pretty much useless. All they do is make your car look "fast", which will only make other cars with body kits rev at you. If you ask me body kits are just pointless.

It,s all cosmetic to make your car look better. Not all kits make the car look better but if installed correctly and isn't any thing to carzy I think it looks pretty good.

other manufacter cars look good with body kits, but honda cars, with the exception of a wide body on a s2k, shouldnt rock any bodykit

because they are crazy played out
they always break because mostly theyre fiberglass.
they never fit well

they completely chang ethe look of a car which some might like but i like the natural bodystyle of a car. some body kits are clean and not too crazy but the ones that are psycho are just toooo much
played out
fast in the furious
rice a roni

if u like it do it but eventually stock will grow on you

No I dont right now but might be able to get some up. I really like my kit cause it was not one of those crapy ones that was already made for you. I was able to choose the front bumper, the rear bumper, and the side skirts that I wanted.

I too had a body kit. I actually had mine when it was the "in thing" though. Stock with a lip for me now. Here's a picture of my old EF.

I think I paid like $500 for front, rear, sides and since I was buying the full kit the guy went ahead and threw in some nice f1 fenders for free.

Oh yeah, it also had a ton of orange metal flake in it. It sparkled like a speed boat in the sun.
