Don't get a body kit, get a lip kit. OEM will increase the value of your car, and it looks sick.

Re: Body kit

^no. the 09+ honda civic's have differnt front bumpers. therefore different HFP lip kits (actually, just the front is different, the side and rear are the same.

Re: Body kit

id say from 400 for a full all around mild lip kit ( mostly OEM ) all the way up to.... id say 1200 for something more elaborate. I say the more mild ones tend to look better than the half body kit looking lips. But thats my thought. Just look in the for sale ads here ppl have a lot of lip kit parts for sale. The kind of material its made out of has a lot to do with price. Fiberglass is cheaper, doesnt fit as well, and breaks easy. The new Poly versions can be made to fit better cause they can be manipulated to conform to your body shape and withstand more DD punishment. Down fall they cost a reasonable amount more.

Re: Body kit

get a body kit, sure it takes a good amount of effort to get it in if you're not lazy you can get it done perfect.

EVERYONE and their mother has a lip kit, and in my opinion it's boring as hell. When you see factory cars coming with the same options that used to be available in the aftermarket.... RUN!!!!

It doesn't change the body lines of the car, barely if at all.

It all comes down to what you like personally.

People here will argue until they're blue in the face about what you should and shouldn't do.

There are plenty of websites to check out kits for your car

www.aerotrends.com
www.bodykits.com
www.extremedimensions.com
www.google.com can find you a ton as well.

Re: Body kit

IMO I would say go with a full body kit. I am personally not a huge fan of the lip kits on the new civics. You will definitely need to drop it if you get a body kit though.

Re: Body kit

A canned civic with NO kit is perfect. If you have to have a kit, get a mugen lip kit. Keep it Honda man, don't go with some aftermarket, "make your car look like its going to fly," kit.
Keep it JDM son.
