Question Need help buying a bodykit please!

Hey people this is my first post.

I am interested in buying a bodykit -front, back and sides- to fit my 97 1.6ls 5dr civic (the saloon shaped one) but i cannot find one that is sold to fit. I have been sent to Mugen's site but it is in japanise (which i cannot read ) and also to Password. (but their bodykits are *****)

Will a bodykit designed for the coupe or the HB from the same year fit, or will it be too small? Is there anywhere i can go that will make the right ones for my car?

Many Thanks

- I have come here from another civic forum because i got flamed by people saying "we dont like bodykits here" and "bodykits are gay, why would you do that to your car?!" Dont make the same mistake they did. If you dont care much for bodykits, or you dont have anything constructive to say, just dont post.

Thanks again...

Here we go again body kits are rice.....

Body kits are fine to a certain extent (if they are done right).... but majority are a lot of work. You can try www.aerotrends.com that is I got mine. Just some advice don't go fiberglass! Polyurethane if possible. Sorry don't know to much about the 96-98 style Civic. Hope I could help some. Good Luck.

and the difference between the riceness of a lip kit and the riceness of a body kit would be what exactly??? A body kit has actually been proven to be more performance than a purely asthetic lip kit. I don't understand why so many people feel the need to bash when someone is looking for help.... He didn't ask for any opinions, strictly a website to find a kit...
