How about craigslist? There is usually some guy on there just moving on and trying to sell their bodykit.

Either that, or you could just try good ol eBay.

Unfortunately this isn't the sort of site you're likely to get much help as far as body kits.

I wish I could help, but it's not really something I'm into either, so I don't have much good advice for them.

I do know they can be difficult to install, are difficult to get to fit correctly and often break easily.

look in the appearance section

but 9 out of 10 people on H-T will advize against it. As do I. It's your car but just to let you know your car will lose a lot of it's value if you ever want to sell it. You'll probably end up having to redo it every couple months if it's cheap quality, it's just more problems

it's your car go for it though.
(sorry if I didn't answer the question)

your best bet is your local craigslist. or you can try these sites if you got the money..

http://www.bodykits.org/ <= they do price matching.
http://www.body-kits.biz/ $450 shipped on select body kits (good selection majority of the time)

I'm sure there are other sites out there that might be more helpful about where to get kits or what kind to get.

I know body kits are popular in Europe, so a European forum might be a good start.

As far as what ill fit, the car being a DX doesn't matter at all.

'96-'98 coupe and sedan rear bumpers are the same (OEM, at least).

'99-'00 coupe and sedan rear bumpers are the same (OEM, at least).

'96-'00 coupe and sedan rear bumpers are all interchangeable though.

'96-'00 hatch rear bumpers are all the same and are interchangeable.

'96-'98 coupe, hatch and sedan front bumpers are all the same and are interchangeable.

'99-'00 coupe, hatch and sedan front bumpers are all the same and are interchangeable.\

Oh, and cheap probably isn't the way to go unless you want the car to look really bad either right away or soon after.

Ebay or a local performance shop.

And to anybody in this thread who say kits are ugly.. its not your car so why do you give a damn? someone wants to know where to get a kit, so what maybe they just want to get a kit to say they have one. guarenteed most people on here have owned a bodykit, don't lie.
Get the body kit if thats what you want, remember it is your money and your car and you'll be the one driving the car.

Check the classifieds, local shops, ebay, etc. This is the wrong forum for it.
