How come all of the body kits I can find are crap? Can anyone tell me where to find a nice looking one?

 

don't get body kits period

 

Wings West makes a Mugen copy that fits the hatchbacks and CRX's with USDM fronts and utilize the wrap around bumper lights from the SiR's.

 

the wings west does not utilize the wrap around lights, it still uses stock usdm bumper lights

 

You are correct. I meant the VIS one.

 

no tech to this....?
and body kits = rice!

 

I'd post the website where I have a full exterior 101 write up for EF's but the site wont let me post that site.

 

CRX? Try Xenon kit. But then I'm biased.

 

if u plan get bodykit ,get this!!!! one of my favorite REX

 

^^^ Looks like a Wings West kit.

 

what the hell is rice do you for get thats how honda got the be so big in the us . whats the diffrence if he uses knock off lips or a body kit its his ride damm just soppout him and answer the question if ya can if ya cannt then dont say anything.

 

hey man i have a brand new still in the box full mugen 6 piece body kit real mild not crazy and ricey its just like the one above in the pic i paid like 1200 but i am selling it for
cheap 650

 

sory the front bumper is a litle dif from the pic but if you look up mugen kits or wings west its that style

 

i think the one in the pic is a wings west mugen replica kit just the front bumper has been chopped up to make bigger holes in front.

 

I don't care if it's a real Mugen bodykit, or a Wings West Replica, it looks ugly and rice.

 

there is the xenon bodykit, wingswest mugen replica, mugen bodykit for either 88-90 or 90-91, and some others. These are the most commonly used kits for crx, and if you want me to show you some kits for hatchback and sedan i can do that too.

 

spot on.



all you need is a nice lip and a drop

ive never sen a "good" "solid" body kit, they almost always look like there ganna fall off or their smashed to **** and on top of that they always use that chicken wire lookin **** as a grill.... terrible

 

What with the body-kit trash talking?

I bet most of you guys would rather ghetto fab together a homedepo, eg, vw, lip on your ef and call it non rice... guess what.... if you'v been here for a while there is such as thing as "h-tech rice" lol



Just because it has a body kit, does not make it rice.
Try not to alienate people. If it's not your style just say it's not for you.



Back to the OP question.
For the EF in my opion there is only one decent kit (the WW)
the problem with the EF and body kits is that the lines of the car are very boxy.... and not many kit will be able to complement the EF lines very well.

For cars that are rounder (eg/ek) here are plenty of kits that look decent, some over the top, some nice and mild.

What ever kit you go with, make sure it's installed correctly with a clean paint job. Don't let others discourage you, if you do, your issue is not the body kit, its your unsure sense of personal sytle.
one more thing.... don't drive around with it installed and gray primer all over. it make the rest of us look bad... lol

Opinions are like ********. Everybody has one. And everyone on H-T is one.

 

definately agree ^

and if you want to check out some body kits that are not terrible looking (believe it or not such a thing sometimes does exist) take a gander at the tasteful honda bodykit thread..

Their are not too many ef's in there, because well their are not many ed/ef kits in general, however the thread covers a wide variety of body styles and kits. many of which are quite nice looking. again, opinions vary widely..

 

get an si-r front end

 

i can see where your coming from, but the reality is that most people i see with body kits A) dont paint them B) too flamboyant C) are attached with zip ties D) the front bumbper almost always seem to be destroyed from bashing on the road and last but not least.... chicken wire dude.


god awful

if you insist on getting one i think those are good things to stay away from

 

"Their are not too many ef's in there, because well their are not many ed/ef kits in general"

exactly cause they dont look good on our cars =]

DC, ok. EG, ok. EK, ok... all rounded bodies!

EF = box = no

IMO

 

It has to do with an EF and it is in the EF forums.
As stated before some body kits can look nice if they are put together correctly, as in fitted, aligned and PAINTED.

 

A little rice every now and then won't hurt you. So I'm all about rice.
