Body Kit

I know most of your are against body kits, and I am too for the most part. I am just looking for some exterior change. I want a bumper that allows some more air flow into my engine bay. I have a B18C Type R in my 97 EX and it gets quite warm. I don't wane something that looks boxy or super riced, just something that is practical for what I want it to do.

Also, it is lowered with Tein H-Tech springs on KYB struts if that makes a difference.

I don't give too ***** about side skirts, but my rear bumper is kinda ugly.... Do you have any ideas? Or personal cars that you have pic's of?

I am also thinking of doing a CF EVO II hood so i can get some more venting.

Thanks much!

Re: Body Kit

Personally, I really hate Evo hoods

I would just get an altezza/Type R grill, and that will allow plenty air to get inside the hood

Re: Body Kit

upgrade your radiator
or use back yard special bumper
those look really good

change water pump so it can pump good flow of fluid
change thermostat change coolant temp sensor, then change radiator
that should keep your engine cool
and one last thing do a good radiator fluid flushed

$950 for a front bumper..!?!? No doubt it's gorgeous but I don't think I could ever justify buying it. I really like the front bumpers/side skirts of the 6th gen Si, but can be pretty hard to find. If the rear bumper is in good condition I would just stick with it. It would probably look a lot better once you replace the front bumper and get rid of the shower molding on the sides.

Re: Body Kit

6 gen civic front bumpers arnt that hard to find since they are all the same
the only thing that seperate them from the si
is the front grill and front lip
dealers also still sell them
i already got my factory front si lip painted from the dealer
my front bumper is on the way
you can get the front si kits with bumper for under 400 with painted
and if you play your cards right you can get the raybrig fog light kit

I have a brand new water pump, thermostat, and i just had a mishimoto radiator put in. As for the bumper you posted....WOW thats way out of range especially for just a front bumper. Given that it is carbon fiber and super nice looking.

As for the rear bumper it is in ok shape. It desperately needs to be re-painted.

if anybody know anything from Extreme Designs that would be super. I get dealer price for any of their stuff.
