Body Kit question ??????
If i ever do get the front of the kit i ordered 2 months ago from civicdeveloper [IMG]i/expressions/face-icon-small-mad.gif[/IMG] (sorry for venting)
anyway once i do finally get it
anyone have any idea how much is costs to have the kit molded to the car ??
and is that a good idea ?? its a kaminari kit.
my other question is and may sound stupid but just curious, ive seen skid plates for the front of the kit do they
have anything for the sides as well ??

i think the skid plates are only for the front but you can get them made to fit the sides but why?
I think the only reason for installing them is to prevent fuggin up your kit in the front

if your talkin about using bondo to fill the areas where the kit meets the fenders and whatever else,.... this is not a good idea!
I've had friends who wanted that "ultra clean" look, and they got body shops to smooth out all the areas where the kit meets the body that could be visible. Yea, it did look good, untill he got in a wreck and then the bondo job was gone, not to mention that both the kit and the original fenders cracked. When you think about it, the reason for that crack(area where you see the line) being there is so if you hit a curb or something, just the front kit would fall off. But a lot of other parts will shatter or tear if its bondo-ed on there.
