Default I need a different body kit...don't hate me.

So here's the thing, I have been into the "car scene" as it is, for four years now am starting to reconstruct my car for the 21st century. I know you all hate body kits, but against my better judgment I still come to you for help. I know that with the knowledge combined in this site I can put together a clean looking car that will still get the attention I crave. So I am asking you all to help me put together a kit that is both stylish and clean. Please understand I realize most of you hate kits but I don't have my stock parts anymore and I basically have to start from the ground up. I have been looking heavily into the C-west kit but am searching for other options. Please don't tell me how much my car sucks or how much body kits suck I am just asking for your help as to what kit would look good on my body style. I do love my car, body kit and all so keep the negative comments to yourself, please, instead help me find one that better fits the times. Thanks for your help. Hopefully I won't be burned to bad...



Please note: I am not changing my kit because it's not the trend anymore. Paint has began to chip off of the urethane and the front bumper has started to bow beneath my headlights and a little around the back so that is why I am coming to you for help. Hopefully you won't all kill me.

i'd say buy new stock replacements from certifit and just add a lip up front, but i'm the kind of guy that doesn't like attention to be drawn to the exterior of my car.

as far as actually helping you with your question, i love the c-west kit, but i have also noticed that the streetfighter front bumper doesn't look too bad. i dunno how well it would look on a 96+, but it looks pretty clean on a 92-95.



edit: i think the topfuel looks pretty nice for a 96+ as well, and something alot of people might not think of...the acura EL front end.

It may be a couple months before I get something new and besides that it doesn't really fit correctly anymore which is why I am replacing it in the first place. On top of that shipping from private to private is like 180 bucks for the front alone...but I'll look you up if I do replace/sell it.

Yeah i have which is what made me like it in the first place...would it be to much trouble for someone to photoshop the bumper on to that image so that the girl in the passanger seat may see what it would look like. (she thinks it's to low key and not fun enough, I tried telling her thats the point but she wants to see for her final vote.) Thanks for all the suggestions guys. I appreciate your support.

Cwest gets my vote or you can put the stock bumper on...looking at your car the FMIC gets my attention...I don't even pay attention to your front bumper
