I love this kit, but $4k is way too much. My pics were too big to load up but here is a link to where you can find some pics.

thanks, now I had a look at it, it looks way too stock.

I'd take the wheels, just the wheels, like everyone else.[IMG]i/expressions/laugh2.gif[/IMG]

Does the FP package have any performance add ons or is it just wheels, suspension, and a bodykit?

No performance mods. Just rims, suspension, & OEM kit. Looks clean but not worth it IMO. You could go aftermarket and get the same setup for $3K or less. But then you don't have the option of including it in your monthly payments.

Can you just buy the 16" rims from Honda? I have not seen them listed anywhere.

That package is horrible for the money...good god.

I got my 17' Konigs and Nitto 455 tires for $800.

I doubt the "body kit" is worth $3200 [IMG]i/expressions/laugh2.gif[/IMG]

Ok folks here is the skinny on the honda FP package it includes the following and only the following
1) 16" alloy wheels
2) 16" tires to fit the 16" wheels
3) droped suspension aprox 1" (springs and coils) (remember this is factory thus no problems with tire wear or aligment)
4) Silver color interior trim pieces (yes these are avaible septertly)
5) 4 peice underbody spoiler kit (yes this is the same kit that is avaible from your local honda dealer)
6) Rear deck lid spoiler (again yes this is avaible from your local honda dealer, it is the same wing that many of us bought with our cars)
7) Two FP badges one for the rear and one for the dash.

That's it folks no shift ***** no gages no make me go faster stuff, just apearance and handling. Yes it is an expensive kit but here is the break down roughly

1) $1000
2) $800
3) $600
4) $200
5) $1000
6) $500
7) $25

For a grand total of......... $4100 granted these are rought retail prices and may be off but, if you look at the kit as a bunch of honda parts with warenty and will make for easier resale then aftermarket it isn't all that bad of a deal. Please frogive the spelling and have a great day.

$4000 for improved handling? Bite me. I could get a turbo for that much.

Or I could improve my handling for less using aftermarket parts.

I wonder if those bigger wheels in the FP package slow you down? That would suck. Who wants to pay $4000 more for a slower Civic?
