Hey guys, I'm not new to the site I just lurk. I usually don't have much to say as my car never breaks and I don't have any money to do anything to it.

Right now I am looking to get a body kit for her but I don't really know which way to go.

I don't want anything that looks like it belongs in star wars. I like smooth rounded curves and lines. I want something that is going to look clean. Nothing that looks like it would shoot lasers from it.

Can you guys throw me a few suggestions?

Thanks in advance,
Jess

 

dont get a body kit plzz... just get a lip kit

 

I can say I have yet to see a rear bumper I like, I was thinking maybe side skirts and a front bumper? Or would that look silly without a rear bumper on it?

As far as lip kits what would you suggest?

 

any lip kit would look better than body kits..

 

too many people baggin on body kits so just go with what u want and feel to do, i would go with buddy club front and rear bumper and invader side skirts as that's what i had on my old setup and if u do decide to get body kits then go all the way around or else ur car wont look level.

 

and if you get a kit, get it painted before you put it on your car. bodykits have potential just make sure its smooth flowing with your car not jagged pointy edges. post pics when you get it installed before and after!

 

think of 5 years from now. are you still owning the same car? recently i saw one that had just a wings west front bumper, nothing on the sides, rear, and no wing. looked like a little flashly, but nothing like when i see the usual rice drive around, big wheels, big spoilers, big body kit. I thought to myself, now theres a guy who knows how to push the line between clean and rice. Maybe clean rice will be the next jdm.

 

Have you looked into something a it mote subtle maybe? Like a mugen style front end, rear valences and mild sideskirt? There aren't many bodykits that really look good, none of them flow too terribly well with the car

 

Don't waste the money, spend it on detailing the car. Paint the old weathered plastic if it's all weathered and gray, fix any rust...

You could do a wire tuck, reroute the hood cable, install a security system, do something like a custom intake using fiberglass... The security system could be expensive, but the others would be cheap to do.
