Default bodykit or not

ok I have a 93 integra and I have a bodykit on it ....... why a kit? because I have had the kit since 98-99 when kits were still popular ..... my question is should I leave the kit on or go back oem? ....... I've been reading and looking at pixs of the DA stock with lip and they look good ...... I have always been a big fan of lips but as we all know they just came up with it not to long ago for the DA ....... My kit looks good on my car but ........ is it outta style???????

depends on who your talking too. To a younger croud body kits are probably cool, to a more mature croud it isn't. It all depends on what YOU like. You shouldn't have to change your car to go with the times. IMO it depends on the kit. There are a few kits out there that actually look pretty good imo. Some kits are ugly and are made just to get attention.

It's all personal preference. If I were you, I'd go back to stock..


To give you an Idea

my homie has the exact same body kit pieces as you on his 2gen teg...and he's going back to stock bumpers cuz he feels that the bodykit isn't him anymore...and i told him to lol...but imo, i would go back to stock, just because the body kit thing isn't me anymore, and i think stock bumpers will look better with a lip...but do whatever you feel will make u happy with your ride...

why are you changing your car because now days people like oem, its your car, you do not build it for anyone else, like you said, you think the kit looks good.....so keep it.
i have a 90 integra w/ stock bumpers and a lip but, its personal preference.

Definitely...do what you feel is right.

I personally feel that everyone looks like one another now so I suggest having a bodykit. Everyone wants an army brown or green car with a simple lip kit. I think it looks tight *** hell but to have everyone mimicking the same look = .

I say get a bodykit and roll 17" white rims!!!!!

Depends what the kit is. Do whatever you feel is most natural feeling to you.
