Default Body kit suggestion

i have a 95 civic ex coupe and i got hit in the rear. now i need to fix it and i wanna get a nice and clean body kit, what do you guys reccomend for a nice clean look and not too pricey. im considering either buddy club 2 or some combo with r33 front and buddy sides and back. any websites with good body kits would be appreciated.

Here's a fair warning from someone who used to sell body kits:

FIBERGLASS IS A NO NO!!!!

Unless it's from the actual makers of the body kit.. ( Bomex, Cwest is some tight "JDM" shiet there.), do not buy it. Even Ground DEsigns if you want a Black Widow kit. Just DO NOT BUY KNOCK OFFS! In the end it's NOT worth the pain in the ***. I sold body kits for a year n'a half and it's nothing but trouble. Fiberglass cracks easy, slamming your car plus Fglass = Horrible combo.

At least invest in a urethane front and sides man. Other than that you'd spend less money on a knock off Mugen Lip and some Decent sides and a back lip. Then put the money into a paint job.

Not telling you to be like every single other person on these boards, and really if you look at it, no matter what body kit you get someone else has it. Just make the wise decision with so much money.

I wish I would have now that I look back at my fiberglass days.. Switching full body kits every two months. BLAH.

Just words of experience.

NO BODY KIT!!! Just get a stock clean back bumper and maybe do a swap or invest your money into another part of your car.. or just put it in your bank
