hmmm interesting opinions . . .
i figured the aero looks more like a body kit, which i'm not really into.
the oem kit looks simple and clean. @ the same time, i can't help but like the aero as well. IMO i dnt think mixing the two would look so good. the side skirt of the aero looks a bit to fancy to be mixed with the oem front and rear, again thats just my opinion . . . it's either or for me and i think i'm beginning to lean more on the oem kit or maybe not . . .

for a clean look...get the aero kit sides and rear, then oem front. thats what i did and looks cool. i didnt like the aero front(doesnt flow with car and blocks install point for oem fog lights).

the oem kit looks cool too but too too simple. might look good if u wanna go for that "jdm" theme....but imo, why go for the jdm theme when they dont even have civic coupes in japan.. right!

Aero kit all the way. I saw this hot girl at a gas station have a red 01 civic with the aero kit, lowered, 19" rims, and etc. I have been in love since then! That was almost a year ago.

Overall aero kit.
