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 · 01-28-2003, 10:46 PM

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.

96civicex · 01-28-2003, 11:07 PM

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 · 01-28-2003, 11:16 PM

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

01-28-2003, 11:48 PM

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 · 01-28-2003, 11:54 PM

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

01-29-2003, 02:45 AM

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.

a96710 · 01-29-2003, 03:06 AM

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 · 01-29-2003, 07:01 AM

a nice subtle kit

Racing Rice · 01-29-2003, 07:36 AM

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

venom122 · 01-29-2003, 10:33 AM

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?

01-29-2003, 12:12 PM

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 · 01-30-2003, 04:57 PM

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...

i'm not really a big fan of kits...

armyguy5 · 01-30-2003, 05:51 PM

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?

That is merely one's opinion....

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

02-02-2003, 12:01 AM

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 · 02-02-2003, 01:43 AM

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 · 02-02-2003, 08:00 PM

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...

02-02-2003, 11:16 PM

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....

02-03-2003, 06:43 PM

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

02-05-2003, 07:51 PM

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 · 02-05-2003, 07:59 PM

my favorite thing on a car is..

lips and fenderflares, and an engine to back it up

sohc_vtec 2NR · 02-05-2003, 08:08 PM

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

TonitrusEN · 02-05-2003, 08:38 PM

you know what? YOU SUCK..

because you dont agree with me

jfwy

btw, im batman....lol

*pdiggitydogg* · 02-05-2003, 08:54 PM

sohc_vtec 2NR · 02-05-2003, 09:09 PM

ur crazy pdiggitydogg just admit it...

just messin'...

02-05-2003, 09:46 PM

someone close this thread for pdiggity's sake

02-05-2003, 09:58 PM

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)

02-06-2003, 05:57 AM

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.
