I have a 97 civic LX. When I bought the car, it with a body kit on it already. The problem is that the previous owner did a bad job putting it on, and it looks terrible. In some places it has cracks and chunks of fiberglass missing. I am thinking about putting stock bumpers as well as side skirts for the time being. I located a stock bumper the same color as my car but it is off of a 98 civic LX my question is will this work on my 97 civic LX? sorry but i am a bit of a noob when it comes to some of this stuff.

Thanks

yes good sir that it will 96-98 body styles are exactly the same

 

thank you very much i am also trying to get side skirts and a front bumper. Does anybody know of a good place to look other than craigslist, auto junkyards, and Ebay?

 

honda-tech marketplace

 

stick with stock and throw on a lip kit. dont go back to body kits

 

yeah... exactly... I have come to the conclusion that body kits don't look good without a TON of bondo. I have seen lip kits for sale but ill have to look into them
Thanks

i have a body kit on my teg and i didnt use any bondo. and mine looks great. except for the front were some jackass did a hit and run and ripped half my front bumper off.


BEFORE IT WAS HIT

 

Yea, idk. I'm realllllllly not into the huge grille in the front and all the weird bends and stuff,

 

yeah i bought it with JUST that front bumper no sideskirts or rear bumper. after my motor build im gonna do the JDM type R.

 

yea i forgot to mention, i do really like the sideskirts.

do you have any more pics of the back bumper? looks good from that angle but i haven't seen the whole thing
