cant decide if i want to drop my car or get a body kit. they'll both cost about the same, and i only have enough money for one right now. Any ideas? anyone know some good places to get kits cheap?

Re: drop it or body kit (turbo4racing)
jesus man. A bodykit wont decrease wheel well gap. A body-kit will not improve handling. A body-kit on an unlowered car would look gay. Lower it now and get some respect now. Get a body-kit on now and lower it months from now you will get laughed at until it gets lowered.
Lower it. And lower it right.
Lower it. And lower it right.

drop it, body kits are a waste of money and nothing looks better than stock civic. And if u do decide to go with a kit just get the factory lip and side skirts.

Body kit! - Because your handling will perform better and it won't make your car look stupid.
I'm being sarcastic if you can't tell.

good decision with the suspension because body kits are already quite a bit of money and then you might not be able to afford to paint them. Then after you paint it the kit will probably start to crack and alot of people just forget to fix them and they look uncool.... but that is just what i think.

Re: (bretx0r)
im really starting to see why body kits suck.
on that note, what is an average drop? i dont want to slam it, but i want it to be noticeable its dropped.

Re: (civickidd99)
droppity drop.
and you wont regret the upgrade in handling and a dropped car looks more aggressive without over doing it like a body kit can do. An average drop is 2 inches all around. But some ppl do less..like 1.75 and some do more..even around 3 inches. Go with 2. Its not too much and people will notice that its been dropped.
