Default **Stock looking body kits, thought on THIS**

I have a 1990 DX hatch. I want to change the body a little bit but i don't really want to do a body kit like most other hondas. i only want to do a front bumper and side skirts. I think i have decided that i want to do mugen side skirts, and a carbon fiber hood. but im not sure what front bumper i want. I want it to look mostly stock!! but just a little bit different. Or maybe just a lip if they make it. I haven't found a lip to fit my car but i haven't looked to hard. does anyone know of a place i can look for a front bumper or lip that looks mosly stock??
Thanks..

HEY I GOT IT IN THE RIGHT SECTION THIS TIME

...thats not to bad. it looks kinda flat in the front tho. i saw a pic of a rex with a front bumper on it. It looked very good. the lights on the bumper on that one curled around and looked really good. it almost looked like a stock front bumper with a carbon fiber look. did they ever put bumper lights on a EF that curled around??? if i can find the pic agian i will try to post it...

The bumper your talking about is the JDM front bumper. SIR i believe could be wrong. It has the wrap around bumper lights.

the best body kit is no body kit, the jdm front end is the best thing you can do to your car if you wanna change the bumper etc., everything else just makes our cars look horrible

here is the pic. i also agree that no body kit does look good. but if i do one i want it to be simpal. i think this car has mugen side skirts. i like them cuz it makes it look nice but they are simpal. it stil keeps the car flowing. and if this is a JDM bumper, where can i get one??

im not sure if this is gona work. i have never posted a pic before. so im not to sure.

either go with a WW "moogen" kit, JDM front end, or a nice lip with the stock front end. There isnt too many options after these choices that I could imagine going with IMHO.

Hatchbacks have a filler piece above the bumper and crx's dont..
The cleanest way to put it on would be swap a hole jdm crx front fender,bumper,etc..on the hatch like this guy did,,

This is the kit with a stock bumper + addon. this or the JDM with lip would be nice kit. This kit is expensive also rating at about 600+ so I don't know. Good luck!

sorry for being so late, but know one did tell me if i get a whole CRX front end WILL IT BOLT DIRECTLY UP TO MY HB?? Because i don't really want to have to custom make anything a cut up stuff. i know that all body parts are kinda a pain to put on, but should the CRX SIR front bolt up??

why don't you just get the hatchback sir front end... it is the same thing except the bumper lights are clear instead of amber, and they are even cheeper.

the crx fenders will not fit. The bottom part on the back is different. You will have to cut and weld on the seam where the molding is. I know this first hand I've done it before. CRX fenders won't work unless you do this, other wise they will bolt right up.
