Body Kit Quality & Fitment
I was near dead set on a Ground Designs Black Widow 1 Kit, but recently found 2 others. VIS Racing's Z1 kit is damn near the same, if not the same, just $170 cheaper. And anyone got a Erebuni kit? Never thought to look at them, but glad I did. I guess I just looking for your opinions on which kit would be of best quality and fitment.
Ground Designs BW1 - $745
VIS Racing Z1 - $575
Erebuni - $925

Re: Body Kit Quality & Fitment (kwik2nec)
OK, ridnmyhonda and kwik2nec , what would you do?
This car is getting brakes, suspension, and show work. No engine mods/swaps. Can't find any lip kits. No JDM stuff except 1 piece headlamps is available to my knowledge.
EDIT: I'll add King Tut33 too.

Re: Body Kit Quality & Fitment (kwik2nec)
why do you guys insist on commenting if the kit is ugly or not? he didnt ask if you liked it or not, he asked about fitment.
i know a kid who got the black widow kit, and he had minor fitment issues, but nothing big. another friend of mine got a vis kit, and it fit well, but it cracked insanely fast, even at stock height. ive never seen anything on erebuni, so i cant offer any real suggestion.

Do you point and laugh at every car at car shows? 99% of show cars that win awards have body work of some kind. Wouldn't you want to have the car with the most trophies/awards at Hot Import Nights or Import Revolution? Just 2, to name some of the biggest shows out there.

You missed my point man.
I dont go to shows, Im sick of seeing ridiculous cars on the streets let alone going to some honkee convention paying money to see them.
If you wanna look like a ****** can opener go ahead.
Your whole defense is that you want to win awards, ok great do what you want, make your car so people will applaud your hard work. You wasted a perfectly good vehicle.
Im jus sayin Id rather keep up my rep and go fast than put on some ridiculous body kit.

Cool. No harness words to ya. I've just grown up from the racing world. I've done my fair share of swaps/conversions/boost and I'm done with it.
That's why, out with the Civic and in with the Accord. All power features and a sedan (comfort). All for show and no go now.

Re: (SmellySpoon9t3)
I guess I like the look of the BW1/Z1 cause my car (92 Accord) isn't really a box and isn't really round. Kinda like the kit.
Kit has to have flow with the body style.

I don't mind bodykits on some cars, but those one's are hideous. especially that erubuni one. 
but i'd go with the 2nd one if someone held me at gunpoint and told me to choose one.

I would leave the body alone then. I don't believe any of those kits make the car look any better than the OEM stuff. You don't HAVE to put a body kit or lip on a car.

Re: Body Kit Quality & Fitment (King Tut33)
Thats fine and dandy if you wann rice your car out and win some car shows, but my .02 you wont be winning any trophies with those hidoeus kits 
If your gonna buy something atleast buy something quality that will last and not crack. I mean they are ugly as it is, but do you want an ugly, and a cracked kit?
Edit
just looked at those price, WTF!!! that is some Overpriced ****, especially that Erebinu 
Does Wings West not make kits for that year accord? At least thier **** is subtle, affordable, and better fitment and quality then these Rice box kits.
