Well, my car has been in the shop for the past 2 and a half weeks due to the accident I got in. So we ordered the kit, it finally came in, but now our guy who was going to fix it says there's stress fractures, waviness, cracks etc etc.


I need some help, BAD. This has gone on too long and I need some recommendations on kits please. I have an 03 civic ex coupe. I purchased the Extreme Dimensions B-2 Body Kit but that's obviously going back.

Well sad to say I was in your situation before back in 2002. I bought a cheap body kit (really wasn't cheap because everything was new for the 7thgen at that time) and it came "spider" cracked and etc... And the manufacture would not take it back so I was stuck. The only choices I had was to custom fabricate it to the car to fit and reinforce the fiberglass and spend a several hundred more or trash it.

So long story short... I kept the kit, lost the front bumper to a 18 wheelers blown tire on the HWY. Replaced it with a full piece polyurethane front bumper and love it!

actually i know ive posted this before but fibreglass isnt all bad. If u get the right kit its okay. I've got reinforced flexible fibreglass on my front bumper and crappy hard fibreglass on my sides and rear but still i'm the third owner of my front bumper and it has never had a major crack or chip in it. I'm impressed and the guys who had it before me lived in canada too.

Well man i suggest you get a r34 front end or i love the cwest but good luck finding it. And get high quality fibreglass or urethane.

uhg, I just saw it at the shop and it is pretty bad. wavey as all hell. chips? the mesh is like chicken wire, looks like a blind person cut it and put it on.


the mechanic there recommended a company called mugen? do any of you guys know anything about that stuff. also, if you guys can just give me some websites with some nice kits..besides the crap i can find on google.


thanks!

you shouldn't be too shocked, this is what you expect when you buy these types of products. they aren't OEM, and even if they were to fit right, it will crack in a month.

i doubt he said mugen..mugen is located in japan and they make high quality parts for honda and acura but no parts for our cars except for little stuff and plus if they did, it would cost lots and lots of money to get the stuff.

if i was you id either sell the body kit, keep the stock bumpers and get the kaminari lip kit...one of the sickest kits for our cars or go with Aero

Ok well to answer ur question the tsunami bodykit is really nice. I'd say its easily the best for our cars. Not too wild.

Thanks you guys

some of u guys who are so hardcore lipkits dont realize that us guys who get in accidents have no stock bumpers left to put lips on and thats why its better for us to buy bodykits cuz its way cheaper then buyin a new stock bumper which is gonna run u at least $400 cuz oem parts are super expensive then spend another 800 on a lip kit. Why would u do that when for 600 you can buy a bodykit.

As far as the difficulty on putting on the kit it self… not to sure.
