It depends on your own taste. I think it's a little too busy looking with the multiple intakes. Kinda overkill. I'd go with something a little cleaner but thats just my opinion. You should buy what you like.

the front looks ok, the sides arent that nice and the rear is ugly...dual exhaust on a civic isnt a good idea and if you just have single exhaust it would look pretty stupid to have the opening there. Maybe you can mix and match some parts from this kit and some from another? just a suggestion

ehh...not a big fan of body kits. i'd personally go with a lip kit instead. looks much cleaner. but its your car. i wouldnt do the whole dual exhaust thing if you were planning on doing so. just makes your car even slower. another thing, from looking at your signature your car is completely stock. no wheels? body kit with stock wheels and not lowered will look kinda funny. but i dont know...just giving my opinion for you. good luck.

Yeah i'll probably get some side skirts, and hopefully a rear lip for my es2 someday. Dont know how bad the fit would be on a sedan with a coupe lip, anyone know??
The more i look at the bodykit the more i dont like it!!!!

Aside from the front IMO the rear and sides are 100% fugly.

Spend the body kit money on some nice rims, or some suspension, or a lip kit..

It might look good... but I would keep looking. Keep mixing and matching and something will work eventually. I like my body kit.

Had to ask!!

I do like the front and sides, but the back would be pointless because i would never run a dual exhaust!!!!
