I'm lookin towards to get a new bodykit for my car.. but not one of those body kits with extra plastic everywhere. Just a nice simple fresh look from my oem bumpers, anyone got some good suggestions?

too much glam, looks wicked retarded.

but more on the lines of:

which isnt too bad imo

care to elaborate?

what car? year? how much are you looking to spend?

And isn't the point of a body kit to have pointless plastic everywhere that doesn't flow with the bodylines of a car whatsoever?

jyacoba2009

not really, i've seen cars in my area with body kits/ even just the front bumper which looked really clean compared to the ricey kits i see everywhere in vegas x.x

96 EK Coupe, moneys no problem really.. i'll probably limit it to about $500-$1,500.

BYS Airwalker bumper FTMFW!!! It's just the front bumper it's really fukinn clean, stay away from the rest of that bodykit crap for the love of god.

forcefedferio

ok just saw your edit with examples.

first one is butt ****ing nasty ugly.

second one isn't bad looking, but would probably look a bit off without the rest of the kit.

Oh yea, you need to move this post to the Appearance/cosmetic forum.

i agree, the fitment of those are spot on compared to the hit or miss fitment of some of these other cheap quality kits.

my only complaint with the BYS is that it looks kinda weird without a giant front mount to fill it in.

2sLoJR

Your being to nice, there both ****in' hideous

jyacoba2009

yea i know right, haha

but the BYS Airwalker isn't bad at all, would it look right if all the metal screens werent on it?

2sLoJR

homie dog thats just the mesh you can cut that **** out.

forcefedferio

going back and looking at the pics again, you're right.

they're both really bad looking, look at the fender/bumper alignment in the second one. and that's the example they are using to sell the product? that should tell you something right there if you can pick out major flaws in a 2"x2" 2 dimensional picture imagine what the real one is gonna be like.

jyacoba2009

lol i was just usin those as examples :p i couldn't really find an actual good lookin one on andysautosports.com compared to the 2nd one

but yea, maybe BYS is the way to go, i like it more than the other ones i've found.. they got a website, or just look it up on ebay?

2sLoJR

Lol, for real huh.

i dont understand the point of these worthless things...do you want your car to look uglier? i think so...

2sLoJR

Memoryfab.com i think has them. Or Weksos, or try Inlinefour.com....One of those is bound to carry it. Im glad we turned you away from a ugly *** bodykit.

2sLoJR

I hope your not say that the BYS bumper is ugly.

jyacoba2009

oh i deff. wouldn't want to go with those ricey bodykits.. haha, i been tryin to stay oem.. but i just needed to freshen up the look a little more.

really appreciate it fellas!

500-1500....turbo kit

jyacoba2009

well, goin fast isn't part of my life right now
but turbo would be nice in the future

ever considered getting a lip?
looks mucho clean and its not obnoxious like a full out body kit
a relatively easy DIY. bunch of threads here on HT

Second one you posted is a C West replica. Its ok. Im not a big fan of the BYS. Personally an (OEM) Si-R lip or Type R lip is the best. Not to mention way cheaper and less body work to do. And OEM fitment and quality. Save the money for maintenance or tires + suspension.

jyacoba2009

yea i've considered one, they look nice.
but im lookin for an all-new look for my car, if i ever decide i dont want to spend $200-$800 on the BYS, i'll go for the lip/99-00 conversion

CivekCoupe

To be honest man, I would stick with no body kit, If i were you i would just get the 99-00 Front end conversion, put some sick yellow fogs in, and then get a type R lip. Looks waaaaaay better then a body kit.

jyacoba2009

yea but everyones done it around here.. i think ive seen only 1 MAYBE 2 EK's rolling in vegas with BYS bumpers

i've wanted to do the 99-00 conversion, it looks wicked sick.. but for the time being, the BYS is gonna be my next thing to get
