Body kit help

My front bumper and fender got messed up and im thinking of just getting a body kit since i have to replace it already. So are there any front bumpers that look good with the rest of the car stock or what are some good full kits that aren't too expensive. I was looking at a front spoiler but i dont know how it would look with the rest of the body stock. Thanks

Replace your car with stock parts. Then get a lip kit to go with it. Body kits are kinda too big and most of them are made of fiberglass. Fiberglass have shitty fitment and chips off after a couple months, leaving your car looking like crap. Lip kit is the way to go.

If you take care of your car then your body kit wont mess up.

I had a body kit. It wasn't pretty. Little rocks and debris on the road would chip the paint easily.

Do a lot of urethane ones crack and chip or is it mostly the carbon fiber? I live in Michigan and we have some of the worste roads so I dont know if I want to invest a lot and then just see it get wrecked sooner than later. and does anyone know where to find a front spoiler attatchment cheaper than 200 bucks?

if you area have the worst road conditions then i would not suggest on getting a body kit. just like fallout said, go with a lip kit.

If road conditions are bad where you live, I would not buy a body kit. Speaking from experience with fiberglass and polyurethane (front bumper polyurethane and side/back bumper fiberglass) fiberglass sux a big one! If you do do a full body kit polyurethane is the way to go. But I suggest a lip kit because you are looking for something that will go with a stock car. Most full body kits are aggressive, low, and bulky and that is not what you are looking for as stated above.
