Hey guys Im new to the web site and a first time honda owner and I love it. I was searching the web the other day and came across a silver coupe in cali that had a custom wide body kit. The shop car was also for sale. Have anyone of ya'll seen that car, the reason i'm asking b/c that body kit was sick. I think it ran around 3k for the whole set up. I can't believe I didn't set it as a fav. If anyone can help or give me some pics of and other kits. Thanks

 

i just googled "06-07 civic body kit" and found this

Probably not. The tein Si was stolen and stripped down to a bare shell.
Edit
I found a scan of the article

Wow that sucks. Body kits are gay though. Spend the money on go fast parts or factory OEM parts like front/rear lip etc.

 

body kits are gehy but thats just my opinion.....

 

look slow, go fast....is a great motto

 

heres the Downforce Tourren body kit i liked this one on a friends car his name on here is dlight

Looks decent but can't go wrong with HFP or stock OEM look IMO.

 

it looks just like the tein but i cant find out who makes it

 

not that i have any interest to buy one........ but has anyone seen a 4dr with a kit on it?

 

Anybody that has a body kit on their daily driver will tell you that they are a pain to maintain. I know from experience, the body kit bumpers are super low to begin with which is almost impossible not to bang up.

The fiberglass chips off way too easily, especially if the car is lowered. Speed bumps, potholes and dips in the road will scare the **** out of you with a body kit.

Lip kits not only look a LOT cleaner, but are easier to maintain. ABS plastic and polyurethane lips are a lot stronger in material than fiberglass bodykits. If you crack or gouge a lip, it can easily be replaced with another one (since you simply add it to the existing bumper). With fiberglass bodykit, it either has to be repaired (using fiberglass matting and resins) or replaced (costly).

Lips ForTheWin

ABS plastic and polyurethane isnt stronger than fiberglass, just more flexible, so it doesnt chip as easily. fiberglass is good for high speed applications, such as kits that actually aid in downforce and aerodynamics, since it is rigid, it wont deform under high speeds like abs plastic and polyurethane would.

and generally fiberglass is also lighter than polyurethane. but that depends alot on whos making the kit and what process they use to make the fiberglass kit.

 

Shame about the Tein Si ...

 

that **** was recovered 10 minutes away from me. (murrieta)
