ATTN: people with body kits, post reviews please
A lot of people have body kits or fronts but there is only 1 review on a kit (an octane) in the reviews section. Can you write reviews on your kit? Maybe some topics could be: Increase in handling and better drifting (thats the whole point of a kit anyway), Looks, Installation difficulty, maybe durability, etc.... The Reviews are one of the best things on this site, just sux they don't get used more often. Thanks
<< Increase in handling and better drifting (thats the whole point of a kit anyway) >>

Please tell me you don't really believe this!

yeah, ok, and an exhaust takes a second off your e.t.
dude, in our world, a bodykit does nothing for performance, it'll probably decrease performance if any.(weight, air turbulence, etc).
but you have a point. we really need to use the review section.[IMG]i/expressions/face-icon-small-tongue.gif[/IMG]
body kit doesn't help with anything...it just make people look at yourcar....i got Octane (850$) on my sedan...the front is not as low as i thought...i like the back havn't install the side yet..forgot to give them my wheellock
it'sa fiber glass kit....i already scratch the bottom front ....it'll break in 1 or 2 years...i'll b getting new kit by then niway....that's bout it what else do u want to know?
It depends on what you want. I can give you a review on the Wings West kit, Tsunami front bumper and the OEM. I have owned all 3.
The most important thing to me is how the kit fits. I thought the wings west fit ok but I didnt like the way it looked on the car. The
Tsunami I had fit alright except around the headlights and the fender wheel. The OEM fits perfect because its made by the factory.

Actually, it may not be that false that a body kit doesn't help performance. The new Civic Hybrid has a smooth plastic underbody that reduces aerodynamic drag. If a body kit is low enough up front and the car is lowered, then you block the air from getting under your car and you decrease drag. If the Civic Hybrid's plastic underbody is directly transferable to our Civic's then I'll get it. Assuming that it doesn't cost too much. It'll lessen road noise and lessen aerodynamic drag.
