well I hope you plan on painting the bodykit. That will cost you another $300-$400. And it all depends, what do you want to do. Show or go.

kit but i wouldn't suggest getting fiberglass (i assume your 550 deal is for fiberglass only).
also for fiberglass octane kits, the sides don't fit that well..you might want to pay the shop to help u install it.

Kit, but I would only get a lip kit, and if you get a full kit, get poly-urethane.

get a body kit dood. Nitrous is practically just a show off thing.. its not like your going to use it all the time.. it will fawk your engine up. Plus nitrous only last for a short time when you press the button.. a turbo is the way to go if you want speed. Fiberglass sides and rear are fine.. the front has to be urethane though..

i personally think 99% of the kits for the civic look gay, and are pretty rice. just extra weight, that looks retarded a lot of the time. bodykits were started for aerodynamics, that is the main reason. i say go with the N20, or save that money you have for a turbo

Well, if you lived here in Ontario I would say the kit because NOS was banned (lame) but seeing as how you are where you are....NOS!

I agree... the ban here sucks. But, how often do you really get pulled over? Dark tints. I can reach the access hatch in the rear seat, disconnect the bottlein the trunk, close it up, and flop the driver's seat back up before the officer reaches the car. 15 seconds or less. Risky? Yes. But worth it! Just drive with the hatch unlocked or open.
