Question OEM Honda body kit... material?

Just wondering what material is the OEM Honda body kit made of that you can get as an option? If it is made of plastic, or fiberglass?

Ohhh. The Aero kit is what you were talking about. Cool, I got the Aero sides. But with the OEM front and rear.

And yes, I recommend getting it from Hondawerx.com!

Yup those are the one's, but my dealer is selling them for less than that actually, so it works out in my favour to have them install them, etc...

But yeah, a nice clean look, they have a red show car at the dealership, it's a Red Si, with the kit on it, and man it looks sharp!

Thanks! Yup, definetly rims next. I'm planning to get the ones you have (Velox VX-8 gunmetal), but 18" instead. I might go for the 17" (seriously thinking about the 17") But now I'm torn between getting rims or Turbo Discounters turbo kit.

cheaper, by how much? I was under the impression that dealerships rape you when it comes to that stuff. They come painted right?

Majarvis, I just noticed you have a sedan. The Aero kit doesn't fit the sedan. But the Aero front fits, And I think the rear also. Sorry man. Unless you have a coupe, the sides can't fit.

Unless I'm mistaken and they make Aero kits for sedan.

i dont think they do. The Aero kits first came available on the FP civic which was only a coupe. The front and rear willl fit but the sides will not, however the Kaminari sides are the closest thing to them, they are a little more extreme but still very similar.

Yeah so was I, but this one is really nice, and honest, they're the highest rated car dealership in Atlantic Canada. Anyway, I can get them painted and installed for $1,000 CDN (~$720 USD). Of course they're giving us a little deal since we only just got a four door in 2001 and will be trading it in next year for the Coupe, which is when we'll be getting all of this good stuff

Agreed... Kaminari is nice and clean on a sedan. But if not those, I think the OEM sides will do.

Yeah exactly, if it wasn't for shipping I would most certainly do that for you, it's just that I ordered a grill once, UPS shipped it, and it was beat to ****. I mean, it was almost open when I got it, and one of the tabs was broken off. I got a discount but still, I wouldn't feel comfortable sending something like that from Nova Scotia all the way to Texas. Plus, I couldn't guarantee you that I could get that deal, because I think they were letting us off easy since we are going to be trading the car in early, so they'd probably charge full price, especially when I'm buying red ones, when I have a blue car, lol

lol, yeah, that would look pretty weird wouldn't it? lol. I'll tell them I'm going for a Montreal Canadiens scheme, and get a big logo for the hood, lol.

That HondaWerx.com doesn't sell like the front H logo for our cars do they? Because whenever I get that Coupe I'm going to get an Altezza grill, and put an H logo on it, and an Si logo in the corner like it is on the SiR.

They sell the JDM Teg front H but i dont know if itll fit. If i were you i would go with the RS grill and buy the blue H embelms on ebay, thats what im doing, im getting the RS grill today and buyiong the Red H emblems(the ones with one emblem thats larger) and putting it in place of the chrome H then replace the RS with SI

Well see I already have the RS grill, but I don't really like it. I like the finer mesh design of the Altezza one, versus the RS, which are too big for my liking. Plus, when I get the Coupe, it's going to be black I mean I could always buy them from my dealer, it'll just cost a bit more.

Well, I still have it on the Sedan, but we should be getting the Coupe around this time next year, so I'll be selling the RS grill then, as they said it just isn't feasable to get out of the lease this early, we would have had to ammortize the lease over 80 months But they said this time next year would be perfect. Anyway, yeah, I dunno if I should get red emblems or not, because my engine isn't going to be that hot you know, it's only going to have a SRI, so I don't know if I will be making my car a poser Type R wannabe with red emblems or not on it, cuz if I was doing that, I'd probably want to paint the engine cover, and brake calipers red, which I don't want to do. I just thought I'd go with the understated look of the Silver H and Si emblems in the grill, I dunno, it's a year away so I have time to decide, that's why I'm asking stuff so early, that and I'm excited
