you could juss buy the muffler and then get a straight pipe done at a muffler shop thingy...anyways, My friend has the Black Widow kit on his civic hatchback, it looks really good on it...but I do like the buddy club a lot...well If I was you I would go with the Front bumper, go with the buddy club, I think it looks good...but can u get it for 250?

buddy club front bumper with no side skirts or rear is going to look so off.....i suggest getting a front lip instead or saving up till you can afford a whole kit @ once....

front lip suggestion: www.asylumms.com and www.importfan.com for pics of diff stuff.

i like a nice Civic Type-R front lip, or the SiR (oem) style lip...only $80 for that and then youd have money left over for other stuff...
if you have a hatch.....oem front lip and find a civic type-r rear wing, thatd be a nice combo imo.

or....oem front lip and then get maybe the mirrors and door handles and rear license plate thingy and side moldings and side skirts and antenna base painted....or whatever for that amount.

a 400 kit is most likely garbage, unless you found from a wholesaler, who won't sell it to u without a business license

kits are more problems than what theyre worth...go w/ the lip...oh and dont pay under $1000 for any kit no matter what the dealer tell you

why not just get OEM bumper...i've seen 'em for less than $60 (that includes shipping!!)..and then purchase a front lip...

i personally would be doin' this...my front bumper has a "gash" on both sides when i got the car, so i'll just be get an OEM bumper and then add a lip... its a cheaper alternative and looks just as good, if not better.
