Default lip kit or body kit

What do you guys think is better, a lip kit or a full body kit.
I'm trying to decide what to get.

what look are you going for?

I've had both a lip and a full body kit... the both have pros and cons. Personally, I think it depends on the vehicle and its individual mods.

Fill body kits are for show cars IMO. So, decide what your goals are and use that blueprint for your decisions on mods.

Theres only some bodykits that look real nice. I cant think of any lip kits that look bad.

definitely go with a nice lip kit... for a civic, mugen or type R are nice. body kits look too ricey in most cases... atleast where im from and what im used to seeing. you'll also save a lot of money with a lip as compared to a full body kit

lip kits are less expensive, look better and are more durable IMO. (as long as you get a good urethaneone).

there are a few full body kits that do look good, but I dont find them very practical for every day driving, especially when the car is also lowered.

Lip kit definitely. Looks much cleaner while giving your car a more agressive look
