Default Clean Looking Body Kits for a EG (please no rice)

Are there actually any good looking body kits for the Civic HB? To me good looking means not ricey, meaning that it makes the car look like the way Honda should hav shipped it from the factory. I haven't had my HB that long so I haven't been able to look. All I've been able to find so far that looks decent are some of the CF lips. I do want to get sideskirts and a rear bumper too though.

EDIT: What do you guys think of this body kit from C-West?






Do you guys think that it looks better than stock? I like the big opening in the middle for when I end up turbocharging my car, but is there a way that you can just cut the middle part out on my Civic CX front bumper?

Also, it seems like I've seen different OEM Honda EG front bumpers. Are there different ones and if so could someone please let me know what the differences are? Thanks!

P.S. Pictures are always great so that I don't need to spend so much time hunting.

I dont believe all body kits are rice. I mean really a C-west body kit on a teg with JDM front headlight assembly you know that is sick! C-west is one of the sexiest body kits for rides out there. And its even JDM if that's you bug. But jump on the guys head cuz he likes to be a lil different. I say go with the Cwest front and throw on some ek side skirts and dont but a rear bumper or lip on it will look better. That Cwest bumper doesnt look that crackin.

Ps. So how much you get your hatch for and is it stock still? By the way we share the same name!

not too much into bodykits, but the C-West kit for the hatch is growing on me...

If you are planning on boosting, the C-West would compliment a FMIC well, as in "cutting/trimming" the opening for more airflow as opposed to stock...not saying you can't do that to a stock bumper, but the C-West bumper is screaming for a nice intercooler!

Most of the people on this Message board are worthless. The point of forums is to help people. If you have something negative to say, you don't help anyone. Think of how you would want to be responded to if you had a question.
