body kit or notw

[wheresmylicense]

how many of you guys out there (just outta curiosity) are supporters of the body kit? i say no thanks. it looks cleaner if it's just dropped without 20 lbs of stuff added, IMHO. just wanted to get the general opinion.

[slowEJ6]

20lbs of stuff added? in most cases, a fiberglass bodykit weighs less than factory pieces. urethane is about the same weight.

i like bodykits that compliment the lines of the car, otherwise its just ugly.

i'm not really a fan of body kits. if anything i like maybe a front lip, side skirts, and a rear valance. i think a simple clean looking car that hauls ass looks the best.

[wheresmylicense]

btw, slow ej6, your car looks awesome... what kinda engine mods you have on it?

[SofaKingSmooth]

To Kit or Not to Kit is all up to the person and what they want to do with there car/ use there car for

[94_AcCoRd_EX]

I'm not a big fan of kits, but if its a clean looking, subtle kit, I'm all for it.

[myself_included]

My body kit weighs 8 lbs more than my stock bumpers and skirts. Do you know how much 8 lbs is going to slow me down? It's not, not one bit. 8 lbs won't make a noticeable difference, 20 lbs would hardly be noticed if at all.

Not a fan of kits either....if it's clean then I'm ok with it but I won't be puttin one on my car

[ebpda9]

a nice subtle kit :yes: :kiss:

[Racing Rice]

I dont like body kits at all.. A nice front lip and thats it..:yes:

[venom122]

I usually don't like body kits that don't suit a car. I find myself in a situation now becasue some retard cracked my factory one in a parking lot so its actually a little cheaper for me to go with an aftermarket part. I'm still undecided what to get. Any suggestions on where to buy one?

[oc civic]

ive ONLY seen a handfull that look anywhere NEAR good on a civic... i like them on supras, rx-7's, some nissans.. really depends on the car

[sohc_vtec 2NR]

i like a lil JDM style....yum...i'm gettin' me a front lip..(still undecided and broke)..maybe tsunami side skirts....maybe a buddy club valance on the rear...:yes: i'm not really a big fan of kits...

[armyguy5]

i just ordered my factory kit....well the 2 side skirts and the rear valance...have a jdm front lip on already...venom which part did they break?

[sohc_vtec 2NR]

would you like to race? I have a wild body kit, but you can't tame the wild horses under the hood :D

[96coupe]

i am not a big fan of bodykits, i might put a front and/or rear lip on my car and thats about it. however, thats my style and as long as the car is fast enough to back up the bodykit i think its alright. basically as long as it is not all show, no go . but, to each his own.

[wheresmylicense]

personally, i think some of those outlandish body-kits can ruin a perfectly clean car... makes me sick. not to mention, they represent the stereotypical rice-rocket that everyone seems to hate (along with those huge spoilers).

[sohc_vtec 2NR]

myself_included: i don't think its wise to have a race w/ you...well u have wild horsies..and i got..um....a donkey under my hood...:rambo:

[iRACEmyCTR]

i like the buddy club ground effects for civics. thats about it though, and i like JDM lips.

i LOVE body kits on cars that can handle them....

[iRACEmyCTR]

i heart giant rediculously curved and obnoxious body kits on japanese economy cars i.e. an 88 prelude.....

[Mr SpiLLz]

You heart them, so im presuming you love them right... Since love usually comes from the heart?....


I for one, like body kits I never had one yet though, i still have not bought my car... But i think ill be getting a kit to go along with it.... But first i will consentrate on the motor, handling, then looks....


I most likely will be getting a 92-95 civic hatch back....

[TonitrusEN]

my favorite thing on a car is..

lips and fenderflares, and an engine to back it up :)

[sohc_vtec 2NR]

i defintely agree with tonitrusen, but i'm not a big fan of fenderflares....

[TonitrusEN]

you know what? YOU SUCK..

because you dont agree with me

IMO, no kit looks the best, unless you have a 92-96 Lude. I bought my sister a front end because I didn't like the way her front end looked(stock). A lip kit can look great, and I tend to like JDM a bit more. My old Integra was black, lowered, rims, and had a Wings West RS racing sports kit on it, damn did it look good. The new egg will have either a Spoon or Mugen lip, and if I get rich somehow, a real full C-West kit will go on the car(the car will still be used for show purpose, and authentic JDM kit=a lotta points if done correctly)

[iRACEmyCTR]

o0o so you're saying this "JDM" manufactuer is the new ill favor? Do they make rims? Cuz I need some mo' chrome cuz deez 15in Spoon wheels I got just ain't bling blinging enough. jfwy, let him buy whatever he likes. sooner or later he'll grow up and do it right.
