i'm not one for body kits but one that's okay in my opinion is the wings west replica of the mugan aero kit...

i think some guy named manuel is selling one for 450 on here right now...

used it usually goes for around that price.

If you must have a body kit, don't by an EBAY knockoff. You'll end up spending the same amount in the end as you would have for an authentic kit. All the extra money goes into making the knockoff fit somewhere near right.

The best body kit for the CRX is the Wings West.

Dont forget you get what you pay for. It will cost you more in the long run cause its gonna take the body shop that much longer to make the kit fit.

My experience I would not buy a body kit off of ebay. I did for $450 I got r34 front combat side skirts z3 fenders and a spyder rear bumper. only reason I got this cheap is because I had a friend order from the same company so we got a discount. it would be $1,100.00 for both full body kits. but it was $900.00 so me and my friend payed half. the kit will have to make many modifications alot of bondo work ( I took off my side moldings so I had to cover it up) good for budget but quality is bad. I REGRET buying the body kit. looks nice but i wish didn't spend the money on it. I found about the JDM front end and I was pissed.

Thanks Speaker
lol, that pic of my car really caught me off guard.

The car is Milado red/black top.
You will NOT find that Xenon kit anywhere. Some places still have the skirts and rear, but the front lip was changed to a more "ricey" looking lip back around 01', so that front I had got discontinued.

I now rock my other fav. The WW

I think you should wait a year, and once you're not 17 anymore you probably will stop liking body kits.

BULL!!! I'm almost 40 and I still like tastefully done cars with kits-not the
60/60 cars (those that look good @ 60 ft going 60 mph ..but up close are just
turds). But then again to each his own.
