Check out my car....Whats next???

Hey everyone....Take a look at my car....How does it look so far?? I was thinking about getting a body kit but I wasnt sure which one to get. I want my car to be different than other 7th gens...Should I get a kit or should I leave it alone??? I wont be lowering it or touching the engine or suspension in any way, and if I put a body kit on it will the car look lower or will it look more like a 4WD vehicle?? Someone let me know.....
Thanks.....
Mah CIVIC

I say you do somethin to it that you cant do to the real thing. Give it some kind of unique body kit.

I've seen some pretty nice body kits on here but I dont think you could go wrong with the OEM kit for the long run

Yeah I say go with some kind of body kit. I have a kit on mine and my civic isnt dropped yet, and it really doesnt look like an SUV or anything. My wheel gap looks kinda big, but I got some 17's comin my way soon that will hopefully make it look a lil better. What about the Kaminari kit? I dont think too many silver coupes have that here on the site...

Well, if you are not going to lower it.

Here is what I would suggest.

Get a body kit. Tsunami front, Kamanari sides, Xenon rear. Or the complete kit by any of those companies mentioned.

Then throw your 17's away and get some 18 inches.

And if you want it to really stand out, get a custom paint job.

Looks good now but I would do a body kit. It will make it stand out even more.

The Octane kit looks tight on civics, not many people have it either. It would make your car look a bit lower but I would reccomend dropping it a bit to get rid of the gap in the wheelwell

dirty2door...Dont flame on my thread. Im trying to get advice on what to do next, not hear flaming from a whining Newbie. If you dont have anything nice to say then dont say anything at all.

Everyone else...Thanks for the advice....

Might as well sell it and get a Geo metro or something....Whats the point of owning the car if your not doing anything to it. Better yet....take the bus.

osofast....diggin the sig...Dont know what body kit im getting yet...but im not dropping the car at all. I had enough problems wiith my last civic...That car was dropped 2 inches...and all I did was scrap up my exhaust, everything rattled underneath, had to get the exhaust tightened every 2 weeks...also couldnt drive the car in the snow...Used to call the car "the Plow". The reason im not souping up the motor at all is because I know that bolt ons dont do much for power....I had all the bolt ons on my last civic and the only thing I noticed was the car was louder....Im sure people feel different and that is fine....If you didnt there would not be a market for SOHC bolt ons.
Thanks everyone for the responses though.
