Keep it, the sleeper thing doesn't and never will work with a Honda. If you want a sleeper get a Saab or a Volvo and boost the daylights out of it.

i am thinking of keeping the body kit and repainting it championship white (itr white) and then keeping it nice.. becuase when i sell it i will be able to get more money out of it that way than to put it back to stock...

Depends on the body kit you have. What exactly do you have?

Dont base your desicion on what other people think.

If you like it, keep it.

Two quick things to think about:
1. a body kit doesnt necessarily "up" the resale value.
2. in order to be a sleeper a car must be fast. So unless your car is fast, there is no need to try for the "sleeper effect".

IMO... dith the kit.. the reasle on a car with body kit mods like that will accually drop it.. due to it being fiberglass.... if it was just like a urethane lip kit.. maybe... but it looks bad.. sooo 4 years ago.. im not sayin JDM is the only way.. but crazy body kits and stuff is out.. basic stuff is in..

ROFL the only people it would raise the resale value for is a ricer in training. Do what you want with the car if you like the kit then keep it, if not ditch it.

1) it only ups the resale to other stunnas.
2) sell the kit then swap your motor.
Youll have a sleeper and be fast

Ditch the kit.
