Default Opinions on body kits ..

I know just about everyone here is anti-kits.

But I was wondering what you guys thought about this kit? Its more or less a lip. Was thinking about getting it.

I don't see many civics with those...that's a plus!

But I don't like the look...especially the front and sideskirts.

*Bauleycivic* haha.. good laugh, well for the guy who is asking opinions about the kit, its UGLY why not just get a 99-00 front end if not then just a get a ctr lip for your 96-98, that looks more reasonable, but if your going for the "different" look then thats your choice..

Come on everyone...

Im not against the people flaming him, or the fact that its a kit. Im against the fact that he cant make up his own mind if he likes a cosmetic mod.

If YOU like the kit then get it. Dont let biased H-T tell you what to like. I swear people are just drones when it comes to appearance: whatever h-t says, goes. damn

get it if you want...as far as opinions, people here usually hate body kits and honestly the ones your looking at are nasty lol..but thats just an opinion. Do what you want to your car, in the end..its your choice.

If you like body kits enough to get one, I personally think there are better ones to spend your money on.

I like a body kit when it looks like it could belong on the car. Not extravigant, but functional, like its original intention.

It all depends on what you would like out of your car. Of course adding weight is going to slow your car down.

i use to have a c-west and I thanked god the day i broke it into two pieces. It is too much hassle to deal with. The girls liked it but hey it wasnt my cup of tea. So form your own opinion.

Damn im in a good mood today. Hey Bauley, bitch slap me to get me thinking right again.......

NOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!! I learned my lesson buying a full bodykit before, just find a different style lip. I'm still waiting for my Mugen front lip for my eg. Bid it on ebay and its being shipped from Canada. Ironic though my eg is made in Canada. But Ijust recently bought it from some guy in San Jo.
