I'd say only get the kit if you can get the real WW kit, the eurathane version and not the fiber glass knock off...but I have a real one and plan to put it on my 90 Si

If you are talking about a Civic, leave it alone

If you have a CRX, then I would go with the WW kit

On the CRX it works, on the Hatch it doesn't. <TABLE WIDTH="90%" CELLSPACING=0 CELLPADDING=0 ALIGN=CENTER><TR><TD>Quote, originally posted by Loserkidwac &raquo;</TD></TR><TR><TD CLASS="quote">I'd say only get the kit if you can get the real WW kit, the eurathane version and not the fiber glass knock off</TD></TR></TABLE>

Stock body
Kits are a hassle not to mention the fiberglass doesnt pigment the same way regular panels do. Thats why a lot of painted kits dont always match. Cracking, peeling, not fitting properly, body kit tape..... not worth it in my book

If it were any body kit, I'd have to side with this one. However. A year from now, when you have a body kit that's out of style and doesn't match the rest of your body lines, you will be kicking yourself. OEM ftw. It's the same reason I don't ever buy new clothes. I just wait until my work uniforms are updated.

Do what I did, I planned out a complete stock body look with lips and everything for the CRX I love (my 89) - 90/91 bumper, new hood, password lip etc...

But I always had a thing for the WW kit too... so I went out bought a twin crx (90si also black) and bought a urethane version for it, so I'll have the best of both worlds when I go outside. On days I feel like a ricer, ill drive the WW on days I feel clean Ill drive the other.

Plus having two crx's is much more fun, one has a b16 with a big turbo going into it, the other is getting a Vtec treatment going NA.

One has fat fives, the other HX wheels...

I dont have to ever make up my mind between the two choices I like, I get both and put one on one, and the other choice on the other.!

FTW fellas, FTW.
