Default Help choosing a tasteful body kit for 3rd gen 2 door teg.

First off, I'm sick of the flames whenever a post is made about body kits. I love the stock look but i'm in need of a change. I am looking for a tasteful kit for my teg. I am leaning toward the buddy club so far b/c I am yet to see many others that I feel look clean enough for my taste. Does anyone have any suggestions or pictures? Again, it can't be too obtrusive. i want to keep it as clean, and aftermarket, as possible. JDM is not an option. Thank you

I've looked at that kit A LOT. When it first came out on the front cover of ??? on the blue 4 door teg I was sold on it, but... I've seen a lot of pics of it on eBay and i wasn't impressed. If I could see more pictures of it on "real" cars I might be more interested, but I would just have to see. The Bomex kit is border line though, I honestly think it is too flashy for my taste, but... like i said, it's border line.

c-west or bomex. can't go wrong. i believe that these kits were designed for "functional" reasons, not just cosmetic. I'm sure they both improve air flow and reduce weight, they just happen to look good.

ok, i've been doing A LOT of thinking and I think I am going with Bomex. The kit, the more I look at it, is gorgeous. Can anyone comment on the construction quality and tell me where to get the best deal on it? I have seen lots of knock-offs on eBay for about $500 or so, but how much for the real deal? I've never been fond of having a wanna-be. thanks guys

i only like the front for the bomex... the sides and especially the rear looks extra weird... i'd go with the wingswest sides and a different rear..

bomex front, ww sides, and buddy club rear... thinking thinking thinking... i'd rather have the kit as a whole though. I like the one pic on the bomex site where the exaust is routed out the middle. hummmm, let's get crazy.

It's not an "authentic" C-West kit but my friend got a replica C-West kit for his USDM integra at http://www.visracing.com.
