^^That. These are our opinions though. If you like it, then go for it. Just be ready for flames to shoot out your *** if you ask what we think though.

i guess that's not that bad looking as long as you get it to fit properly and get it color matched and loose the chicken wire. i personally would keep the oem front bumper on and get a oem lip.

I like the front bumper, the sideskirts are ok... and the rear is absolutely terrible. On a civic, especially an EF, bodykits look terrible. Just sell it for $200, buy a lip kit and call it a day. It will always look better than a bodykit.

But, just like cvcrcr99 said, this is only OUR opinion. If you dig it, go for it. Just don't expect everyone in the Honda community to dig it. Bodykits have really gone out of style in the past few years... in the Honda community, anyways.

I put a factory lip on my Civic from a 1990 Si. Looks clean.

Find an oem lip and mod it to fit. Integra, Accord, Golf...

most people won't agree, but I think ebay is a fine place to get a lip kit. They're cheap, and won't be OEM quality... but if you're low, you'll be beating the **** out of it anyways, so why spend alotta money on it? Just my opinion.

just make sure the lip is made out of polyuriehane not ABS plastic.
