Kaminari or Xenon
 
Well its almost time to buy my body kit/lip kit and i was still haven't decided on which one to get. I like the Kaminari Lip Kit, and the Xenon Body kit. But i can't seem to decide on what to get. My car is going to be lowered in the next week so i need to decide on a body kit to put on. I have a 2002 Rallye Red 2DR with 18" Konig Prophets Opal. Let me know what everyone thinks. Also on the Xenon Kit, I would paint all the mesh black so that i don't have a silver mesh backing.

They are both about the same amount, give or take 10 or 20 dollars.

kaminari

I prefer the Xenon. Yet, the Kaminari is a lip kit which would be easier to install.
All depends on your taste.

If you plan on putting your car back to stock in the winter then I would go with Xenon because of the front bumper replacement. You just take off the bumper and throw the stock one back on.

Also, I dont know why people consider the Xenon kit to be a full body kit..... the sides attach to the car just like any sides from any lip kit. The rear is also just a lip.... the only thing thats not a lip is a front bumper which IMO opinion is even easier to install and take off.

go aero sides, xenon lip rear, type b lip front.

matt_s 05-30-2005 11:04 PM

that combo's gonna add up to way too mucch... in my opinion.. they are both sick kits.. but i would go with the xenon kit. I regret now not getting a full bumper replacement instead of a lip

chrisgushue 05-30-2005 11:09 PM

xenon!

HEBEGEBZ 06-07-2005 11:37 AM

i have a xenon kit, it's great. Fork over the extra cash for a good paint job to. Thats where I went wrong.

why go with heavy fiberglass when you can get urethane? of course the bc2 is a nice clean body kit...but it's fiberglass!

jayvo2005 06-07-2005 11:46 AM

oh...i'd pick the kaminari kit!

civic12 06-08-2005 04:32 PM

xenon...many many compliments...looks very nice when lowered cause the sides hang low and it gives you the slammed look....

WhiteCastle 06-08-2005 04:34 PM

umm all opinion? I liked the both.. I went with kaminari lip because I can still keep my plate in the front and its required in california

cosmo 06-08-2005 04:39 PM

Kaminari kit with full front facia.

Teh_Sare 06-26-2005 04:04 PM

i've seen the Kaminari in person and my god its a hot kit. looks awesome on SSM vics. I haven't seen the Xenon in person but ive heard great things and IMO looks better on a sedan...
So what did you decide!?

drew22mader 06-26-2005 07:58 PM

Haven't yet, on July 7th i will placing the order so i need to find out what i want.

On customautotrim.com they have the kit for 741.00 shipped to Ohio, well they said the sale ends on the 26th, but i checked back today and now it says the 28th...Anyone know if its always the same price and they just say that or will they raise the price up.

masarak 06-26-2005 10:58 PM

I cast my vote for Mr. K. Aminari.

dru106 06-28-2005 03:18 AM

THeres something about the Xenon i dont like. The front looks horrible IMO!! Probably cuz it has that big "XENON" logo on it.....

JCiv03 06-28-2005 03:21 AM

Go for the Xenon! (if you havent already decided....)

drew22mader 06-28-2005 06:01 AM

Still haven't decided, i wish there was someone on here with the kit on rallye red would have a good picture so i can tell if i like it or not, there was one but i can't get a good sense if i like it or not, too bad i can't see any in person. If i did get the Xenon i would leave the mesh inside the front grill black, iunno yet, I'm leaning more to Kaminari though.

eye_see_you 06-28-2005 07:28 AM

I say kaminari its just a hot kit

masarak 06-28-2005 09:48 AM

Have you also considered the Tsunami lip and/or kit? That's my favorite for the 01-03s.

drew22mader 08-14-2005 11:52 PM

People, i've had the Kaminari kit now for a month, no more xeno or kaminari.

wwjkc 08-15-2005 12:52 PM

kaminari all the way since i have theri side skirts for a long time, it's a great piece and very durable, except the logo fell off during car wash, but replacement is on the way

can i suggest the mugen front lip, looks great and cheaper, but it's abs plastic
