Default Body Kit - What kind????

I'm thinking of going with a body kit? I've got a 92 integra RS. Every body kit i see makes the 90-93 integra's look really square and choppy...Any kits out there that give it a more of a curvey (rounder ) look and where can find these body kits....Is it even worth it....I've got a $4000 tri stage paint job and the car looks tight and clean...I don't want the body kit to destroy the clean look...Any suggestions would be GREATLY appreciated...I would post some pics but i don't know how to resize pics.

Thank you eveyone

come on man...i love my acura stock body...don't get me wrong. especially the fenders...and the car's already dropped, bud....but the lip is the ugliest thing i've seen , besides most of the body kits...BUT what i'm originaly asking is about body kits that make it more aerodynamic (more curves)..do you follow?....Lips are horrible looking....come on..i could stick some plastic margerine cantainers on the bottom to look better.....lol

we are just trying to suggest it. dont be an *** about it. go with the lip. plus if you buy a kit on top of you lowering it, you are gonna run into lots of speed bump problems and avoiding pot holes.

Have you even looked at your car. It is not a round and curvy car. Why would you put a curvey kit on it. What people are sayin is basically body kits are kinda ricey. The jdm look with lips look much better and get more respect from people who know cars and not 10 year old little kids. Oh and unless you want to match your paint to the bumpers then your ($4000) paint job is gone.

you getting a wing too? if you do I'll get you directions to the nearest airport. I'm pretty sure nobody here is going to come out and say, "Yeah, get this kit." Kits = rice. Honda-Tech members are slowly weaving the rice out of the system. Everybody here likes OEM or JDM style bodys. if you got a type R lip with it dropped, sitting on some stock wheels, spoons, or even rotas...I'd give you more respect than if you came through rolling on 17's or 18's...with the next best rice equipment attached to that nice DA body. You spend...100 or 200 on a lip, I have so much more respect for that car than a pile of money worked into a piece of rice. Sorry man, and no disrespect to anybody else, but you want opinions so theres mine. I'm sure a few other people would agree. Good luck.
