i've got a 94 ex with a black widow body kit, cf hood, projectors, clear corners, and euros in the back, with 16 konig rims, and its lowered 2 and 3, i was thinking about taking off the kit and putting regular bumpers back on to give it a more stock look or putting on one of those xenon urethane kits because i've had to redo my kit four times because of bumps or one time a curb, help me out here on what i should do

 

Everyone here is going to say stock, and I'll agree. However if your for that look, then maybe you should think of rasing your car a little.

 

Exactly, IMO I would rather put the money spent on the body kit, into my savings for an engine swap. But it all depends on what you like. If you want to go all show and no go, that's your own preferance. So basically it's all up to you.

 

Who cares what people think about you ride? Do they drive you car everyday? I say just do what you like. If you like kits, then put it on.

 

kits are usually pretty ricey so for sure take the kit off and try to make your car look stock and put the stock ones back on for now.

 

if u like the kit, leave it on. Who care wut all of us think. I've seen some nice kits. I personally dont have a kit or want one. but theres alot of guys on here that got stock bumpers w/ some nice lips that look super nice.

 

u really cant come to this site with a body kit...u gotta come with an engine in mind...they dont take too kindly to rice..buy ya raising ur engine is cool

 

you should watch where you are going and learn how to drive!

 

im in the exact opposite situation.
I have a fairly stock looking hatch and I'm fawkin sick of it.
It looks like a plain vanilla icecream cone. Granted I like the clean look but It looks like a plain stock car with rims when I park next to some of my buddys.
I want a full BOMEX kit and wont settle for anything less. I just cant justify spending 300 bucks on a CF lip spoiler that no one will notice unless they are looking for it. I like some body kits but others look tacky as hell.

Dude as for your dillema, do what you like. There will be people flaming you to hell for having a body kit on this message board but just remember that 90% of the people on here are JDM enthusiasts. If you want to keep your body kit then do it but if you want to conform to all the stupid little rules and regulations of JDMdom then by all means do what you like. It is very possible to have a car that looks sweet as hell and that is fast as hell.

some people like fashion over function
or function over fashion
but why not have both. Its gonna be almost impossible to stand out in the import crowd anymore unless you have a glow in the dark ctr on hydros or something but who the hell wants that.


Body kits are not bad!!!!!!! except for maybe a few
