Default Advice on buying body kit...

Hey guys,

I have an 04 civic ex and I am trying to buy a body kit for it. I am looking to spend around $500 shipped. Does anyone have any recommendations of where to buy a kit? I have seen advertisements for kits that are made of different types of material too...Any thoughts of what kind of material is the best to buy?

Thanks a lot!

The ones you'll find in that price range are typically made from fiberglass. But, be warned - you tend to get what you pay for.

There are a lot of cheap kits out there that are poorly constructed and designed, so if you go cheap, you're likely to spend a lot to have someone else take care of the fit and finish. If you buy a higher-end kit, it'll still require some attention to fitment (not nearly as much as a cheap one), but will be much better quality and less likely to crack over time.

Got one in mind? The over-the-top kits aren't in style anymore (fortunately), but a very mild one might look okay.

o please god don't put a body kit on your 7th gen that look died years ago and for good reason. just get a lip kit and side skirts your car will look so much cleaner.plus polyurithane lips can be bought for 50 bucks for the front 150 for sides and rear.
