Default Another bodykit dilema...

Alright guys, yet another question on bodykits. I'm leaning towards the EVO 5. My problem is the exhaust tip for the kit. There is no information on intake size. I'm 10,000 miles from my extended warrenty running out, and it's game on from there. By the way, 10k miles should only take me another 3-4 months. Already pricing JDM K20's, and getting as much info as possible on all other possible upgrades. Looking to spend about 15-20 grand. The last thing I want to run into is finding that after all I'm about to go through I'm going to have to change bodykits. Can anyone help me?

I like new things. I was thinking of trading up to an 06 or 07 si, but if I'm paying for a warranty, why void it? I love my 05, but there's only so many options for the D17. If you're going to do something, do it right. I'm tired of seeing civics and other tuner based cars with resinator tips, down-force spoilers, and tinted windows. The worst part is that these guys think they're cool with their wasted $250. I want to show the Philadelphia area what a real tuner looks and sounds like, from the rear hehe. I'm an old muscle car kind of guy. I love my Chevelles, but my 05 ex is the first japanese car I bought, and I'm kicking myself for not waiting one more year. So, I decided, since I bought a ricer, let's make it a ricer. I've got the time, I've got the money, and I've got a car I like. So please, no more "buy a different car" replies.

Let's try this again. The Vision Aerodynamics "VFIBRE" EVO5 bodykit as a trapizoidal shaped center exit exhaust port. Not every site that carries the body kit, carries the exhaust tip. Those sites that carry the exhaust tip only tell you the price. None list the intake size of the tip. I have contacted 4 different sites that carry the tip and they tell me it's set to the stock exhaust size, and can't tell me if I can get the tip in a larger diameter if I upgrade. The tip is always listed in the universal parts section of the site, and doesn't have a variable intake size selection if you try to buy it. I cannot find the official site of Vision Aerodynamics. Can anyone assist me with either the intake size or the company's contact info?

^ +1, not makin sense man, although i do think that a nice lowered, body kitted Civic looks ALOT better than a '96 Neon with a fart can, do-it-yourself tinted windows and 2' Aluminum airplane wing (if thats what your trying to say). When i got my body kit i was worried about exhasut fitment too, but surprisingly it fit perfect, almost exactly as the OEM one did (and we're talking a $360 fiberglass Ebay kit too).
