Re: body kit help..

maybe a low profile lip kit, check around the member gallery here and get ideas what others have done. i have the honda kit on mine but it was pretty expensive like $800 at the time, prolly more now.

Re: body kit help..

You should lower it before you add a body kit. Cars with body kits and without wheels or without a drop look retarded.

Re: body kit help..

Drop it no more than two inches. Anything more than that and your getting into serious money But a two inch drop on a 7th gen always looks nice! Search the forum, there are lots of people here with lower vics

Re: body kit help..

Megan racing makes a good cheap kit... look on ebay and search for 05 civic coilovers... You will find lots of them, they range from 700 - 2500 dollars.

If you wanna get rims try Tirerack.com they have an option to see what it looks like on your car before you take a risk and buy something you might not like.
