Default body kit....(flame suit on)

ok, ok, i wasnt really a fan of body kits to begin with, but someone just did a hit and run on my car while it was parked, and my front bumper is off, both fenders have a dent and my rear bumper needs a paint job badly, so im now shopping for a body kit ....back when i was younger and (ricer?) i used to think black widows were cool, but i hear nowadays they are rice?...what should i go with...oem? from a junkyard? from honda? i know wings west has some simple looking kits....i just want a simple as close to stock kit as possible, no big flares, no big mouths, no widebody etc etc...anyone have any suggestions? btw my car is that greenish/teal stock color hondas came with...93 ex coupe....and i dont wanna paint the kit i want it to come in my color already ...

What he said. I have a body kit on mine and its such a pain in the ***. If it wern't for the rims I have I would just convert the car back to 100% stock on the outside. If you decide to get anything that hangs lower than stock and there's a chance it can scrape, it will scrape. Make sure it has a poly front bumper. Fiberglass front bumpers will scrape and break easily, and CF lips will break just as easily if they hit the ground.

edit: I liked the black widow because I saw it online on a mustang before I had my car. So I got that kit, now I realize everyone and his brother, cousin, and his friend have the kit. I'm looking for a blitz style front bumper now.

You can order parts from certifit but they wont come painted and often times need minor work done because the parts come with scratchs on them. Any body shop should paint them for you for a reasonable price because its not on the car and will require very little if any labor. There often WAY cheaper then Honda otherwise if you can find the same color part from a salvage yard that would be the way to go.
