Real HID or Body Kit????

When my income tax check comes in I'm deciding on what to get...... Real HID or a Body Kit

I'm tired of driving around and seeing everybody (including myself) with the fake HID lights, i see all kinds of crappy colors, like a greenish, to dark blue to light blue...... all kinds of colors......I want to stand out a bit more

But i don't know what to get..... Body Kit is more expensive!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I'm leaning more towards HID.........????

Comments???
Whadda yall think???

HID, instantly makes your Civic look like a $30,000 car

Voiceofid has a good point... putting the kit off will only increase your choice as more will come out in the future...

Don't get the HID just yet. Since i bought my HID kit back in may the price HID's have gotten cheaper and the quality has also gotten better. 5300 k kits were the norm just a couple of months ago and now 6000k kits are everywhere. I got my kit for 450 bucks, but now you can get kits like K2's for even cheaper than that. If you wait you could get more options and possibly make a better decision.

HIDs man, not that many people have them yet. In fact, I'm picking up my Philips Ultinon 6000k kit tomorrow.

HID off of a Bmw x5 would make your car look like a true street racer
