New Pics
Here are some new pics of my civic. I recently had the body kit installed. The front and sides are R34 and the rear is buddyclub. The R34 rear is alright, I just liked this one better. Anyways, nothing special but here it is.

Rep Power: 321 Paint job doesn't look that great IMO, the car looks glossy and the paint job looks a little flat. Kit isn't my style either, but do your own thing man, do what ya like and not what we like.

Rep Power: 280 Thanks for the positive comments guys. The kit's paint has been on my mind for quit some time now. I sent a email to the body shop. During the day in perfect light it seems okay, but then it doesn't. I guess I am confused being my first kit.
Everyones opinion is alright, but I was hoping for more responses from people with kits, and not what people without kits think. The kit is what I like because it does not look stock, and I do not like most stock looking cars with lip kits etc.. they just dont look good. I could not see myself buying a kit for my car that is barely noticable. The exhaust is HKS and tilted. (personal prefrence). Maybe it is just the picture quality, but the kit is not glossy.

Dam such negative comments for a sweet civic
Your kits looks good. In your painters defence. If he used a flex additive in your paint (which he should have) its going to make the color look slightly darker. Plus it looks like you have a 01-02 so your paint has SLIGHTLY faded, which also doesnt help when color matching.

Rep Power: 280 ^^ Thanks, you're knowledgeable. The pics quality are bad. I went outside in the light and compared more and more, and the paint matches perfectly, but the kit looks a different shade of color in the dark or in shade. This is not that big of a problem to me, but is interesting none the less. Thanks again guys.

and yes, my bumper also didnt match that well, dunno if the body shop f*cked up, or if its because of the material of the kit ??
enjoy!
..best of both worlds baby!

Rep Power: 280 ^^ thanks alot I appreciate it! +rep for you
The car is actually going back to the body shop for a repaint on the rear. A little too much primer was used, but that is okay. Maybe I will post a new pic of it after the re-work. I was told that some cars escpecially white pearls have a 50-50% chance of color changing, so it is no biggie.

Rep Power: 0 o sweet . thanks for the +1 rep thingy bobber. Well, I used to want an r34 kit and then after that an s14, but then realized i would have to shave my mouldings and all of this other garbage and then realized my body lines would not even flow... and I decided I'd rather dump that money on my motor. I have since then opted for another route... NEWAYS, bodykits are fun, man. Who ****ing cares. Speaking of "downward force" ahhaha I thought only rear wheel drive cars needed them to keep the butt down...!??!?! OMG am I not making sense. i am trying really hard to sober up here
