SAY NO TO FIBERGLASS!!!

Granted, fiberglass kits always look more agressive, and cheaper, but how can you look agressive when your kit splits like a twig??
Poly-Uru is the ONLY way to go. It costs more, but in the long run it is well worth the money.(even though my kit was free)...but you get what i mean

No kidding, must be way off!!

Suprising, Buddy Club is a very respected company in Japan, but they dont even have these Civics there.

Yes, it is fibreglass.
And I also heard that it's a tough fit.

CivicPunker17: Did you get it from KCaero?
Cuz i don't think any of their stuff fits properly! Cuz my friends' bf, Rice, got his BW/BC kit from there too & it didn't fit properly either!

stittnacious: if you're planning to get BC kit, don't get it from KCaero.
Just my 0.02 tho. [IMG]i/expressions/face-icon-small-smile.gif[/IMG]

it was a lot of work...we (me and my brother in law) pretty much had to shift the front end over an inch to start with. then we shaped it to fit right against the headlights and such. the sideskirts...haha them we pretty much just broke in half and refiberglassed them to fit flush to the car. and the back end is secured right into the frame and theres little pieces of wood here and there to push certain parts of it up cause it was the only way. so total time...roughly 30 hours. but thats nothing compared to 120+ hours on my inteiror if you think about it!

i got the buddy club kit from kcaero but it didnt take the shop where i got the work done at anywhere near 30 hours to do the kit... i would say with all the work they had to do, painting the kit, fixing a dent on the rear passenger side, and the damage done to my trunk from an accident, it took them a total amount of around 25 hours. the body kit doesnt fit 100 percent perfect but it still looks good, and you would have to get up close to notice any problems. but maybe i just got lucky...

yeah thats why i spent so long on it. u look at it from a mile away, it looks like it fits perfect. u run your fingers along the seams, it still fits perfect. no dips, no wavy shiiz, just flush.
