Icon2 Custom Kit concept for my 90civicLX?

Sup all, i been just lurking this whole time gaining mad scientist knowledge from these forums, but i wanted to ask you all your honest opinion on this body kit concept im trying to put onto my LX 4dr. My photoshop skills are near *****, looks like everything is molded from bondo. can i find any parts that come close to matching? i checked ebay but want to go more custom on my kit. also thinking of the $50 paintjob just until i save enough for macco paint...

any constructive critisism or help from body experts would be great, i need help finding flared fenders and the wing as well. wanted to fill in some seams on the body match them to the kit as shown.

Got this concept idea from my 91 teg RIP


My old car, 91 integra LS, RIP

As its sitting right now, its got that crusty oxodized grey factory paint that is beyond claying or polish/buffing and the hood it dinged and the quarterpanels are marred and dinged on one side, i figured this kit would look clean w/o really lowering the car to scraping point, and the $50 paintjob is just to keep it from rusting until i can get it pro-done. i have confidence that i could do it myself, but i live in apts so i cant do much sanding or anything for that matter =/

just want a clean wide-ish low looking civic with a system ^_^ and thinking of a way to still get them passengers in the back, was looking at some kinda seats that would extend forward to the max or longer rails or something. and some 16s rims. i have 14' chrome swhirleys (typhoon type knockoff or something).

If you do the $50 paint job...you're gonna have to strip all over if you get a professional job...

WOW really....if he like the body kit then who the **** cares what you say....honestly it dosent look that bad. But i would advise against the 50 dolla paint job. Its ppl that think out side the box are what keep the scene going, the Lips are really starting to get played out. every1 is making there car look like another car. I applaud you for trying to be different in the Honda game which is hard to do

honestly i think youd be better off saving money on the paint and the time on the kit

maybe you should wait on a newer model car to mod....this ones sorta ugly, no offense to anyone. soooo unless you love it, i would wait

bump for fully kitted cars, so i'll post my integra sedan... staying ricey since 99 . my advice to the OP, shy away from a cheap paint job. it will look .... welll, cheap. Second, if u are going to get a kit, just find a nice kit u like and go with it. custom work is neat and all, but if u start molding kits, molding flares, etc....over time u will regret it because of cracks and other things
