Hey, need some opinions. There is a guy from windsor selling a buddy club front bumper and rear for our car. The rear Dennis wants cuz it only fits coupes, but i like the front for me. I need one since i sold my Xenon. I really like the buddy club but it's fiberglass. Should i get it? The only reason i'm thinking of getting it is cuz it will only cost me 225 for the bumper. My xenon was urethane, unbreakable. Will i be safe. I know my sides are fiberglass but most debris flies and hits the front of the vehicle. What do you guys think?

Rep Power: 302 Personally I don't like glass.. I wish I could speak from experience but I can only speak from research.. Was the kit on they guys car already? A problem is mounting.. If he got it mounted already you wouldn't have to worry about it so much. $225 is cheap as hell even if it does break a bit down the road. I'd rather repair a glass bumper than a urethane. I think a urethane would be harder to fix if anything ever happened to it. I think that's all I've got.. I'd like to pass on your question! 
glass is a bitch...tiny chips turn into massive spider cracks. Are you talking about the BC2 kit that i posted on LAC?? its an awesome kit that i'll be getting the sides and rear for this summer and the front in the fall....though i heard they are gunna be putting out a urethane one sometime in the future. The whole kit is 699 USD brand new for the glass...so i guess the condition of the front and whether or not you wanna deal with it cracking all the time is something you'll have to think about.

go for it man, its cheap but the key is to get it to fit right....talk to Mike if you're wondering, he had that kit and paid dearly to get it fit properly (and that was a REAL BC kit)....its your call...I'd do it

Rep Power: 0 Don't like the hood at all. Maybe, (I don't believe I'm going to say this) if you had a K20 or a K24 w/K20 head then it might be okay. You need the numbers to back it up and I don't think hitting 15's will do it. Sorry Bruno.
However, the front bumber is nice and just screaming for an intercooler!!! HINT, HINT.

i like it..and it's not the buddy 2 like i plan on getting so we wont have the same kit..which is good. Just be a bit more careful with the front than you would be for a urethane. Watch the way you park and for sure dont follow behind cars closely....stay like an extra 5 lenghts+back and even farther on the highway. As long as you dont have big rocks hitting it and you dont hit a wall....it'll be all good. Go for it.

Rep Power: 0 Cool. Girl's opinion always matters more than a guys when it comes to style. Thanks Blair. I will buy the front, and Dennis will take the buddy club rear. Good for both of us, i need a nice front, Dennis needs a rear. It will look really good with his Xenon rear.

Rep Power: 0 ha ha, you think i'm nice Blair? If you wanna keep it that way, then don't read the comment i posted on the LAC web board about Britney Spears getting married. I think i said too much in one of my comments.

Rep Power: 302 That thing is ****ing crazy looking! Looks kinda like the Mini Me the way it comes off but I bet it's custom.. My wing is a custom wings west midwing that fits an older celica. If you have the correct trunk measurement you can goto Erebuni or something and check out theirs that are displayed and choose based on overall size.. Instead of getting something specifically made for our civics! 
EDIT: I just looked again and I think it's still custom although I could be wrong. It's something you generally don't see on a 7th gen and that one being a sedan, I can't see the market being more widespread for sedans over coupes.. I may be wrong but arren't the trunks a different size/shape since the tails are a different design? I still like the way the spoiler comes off the back! Looks very sick.. Mine does the same.. Can't wait to add the Tsunami lip!
