I just got rearended last saturday in my 94 honda civic. And well im gonna make the move over to customizing my car. The car was orginaly bought as my winterbeater last year because i was into the truck scene but i wanna sell my s-10 and get a full size, so in the mean time im gonna concatrate on my honda. Ok now that i have my history out of the way on with the questions.
The body kit i was looking at was a type blitz from here. Im also gonna get an exhast system but i kinda don't want the 3 inch outlet and yet i wanna gain power, any suggestions?
Also going with a short throw shifter, and a dash kit and i need to know where is the best place to buy this stuff cheap and reliable.
I have 2500 to work with from the insurance and i figured 700 for the kit and i will need new rear quator panels and a trunk, the rear bumper i will get in the kit. I was planning on setting a 1000 aside for the paint. Also i was looking around ebay and seen a trunk flip kit is this simple to do? Any ideas are welcome

if you don't want a 3" tip, go w/ the Thermal R&D Classic cat-back. it's all SS and it's got dual tips instead of one big one. i noticed a significant power gain and it actually sounds quite beefy. i've also got a link for super cheap body parts at home. i'll post ASAP.

Thanks alot! I found the how-to part of the froum for the trunk thing. Anyone have any comments on the body kit?

*edit* I was reading through the forum and i stumbled on the the hand layed fiber glass and poly utherane post. I called the company and they said that the kit is not hand layed but it some special blend and its very flexible and won't break, so i then i asked if it will move during driving and he said it might a little and that all fiberglass kits are gonna move while driving. Is this true?
