Body kits? need help

Ive been wanting to buy a body kit for the longest time, and i finally found a kit that i think will look good on my civic. I drive a 2002 Honda Civic lx... but i heard i need a lot more other things for my car soo i dont ground out.. This is where you guys come in what are those other things i need? how much would it cost? and do i really need other stuff? Thanks for you help

Re: Body kits? need help

bottom out maybe? Ground out means it'd be electrical in some sort...that'd be one hell of a security system. I've heard of electric fences, but never electric body kits...

thats what i thought but even if he ment bottom out it still doesnt really make sense unless hes slamed?

Re: Body kits? need help

hey wats his name has that kit. i think theyre about 3 or 4 members on this site with this kit. sspem2 or something has it and a couple others. pretty good kit from what ive seen...can be made to look real nice if ur into the body kit look. yea are u lowered man? if not then u shouldnt have a problem bottoming out

even people that are lowered shouldnt be bottoming out unless they drive like an idiot over bumps and stuff..

Re: Body kits? need help

as mentioned before, you will not bottom out unless your car is dropped really low. maybe people were telling you that you should do other things before the body kit because it will look awkward if you just put a body kit on an un-dropped civic.
