So I have this friends who used to own just about the nicest Civic you'd ever see. Unfortunitaly, it got stolen, and sent to the chop shop. One problem he'd come across though, is hitting roadkill. Where I live, this is a commom sighting, and he's actually broken his body kit from scooping dead animal off the road. I love the look of body kits. But worry about this.

Should I? Or was this a freak occurance?

 

roadkill will screw up just about any body panel it hits, just look out for it. My car is plenty low enough to hit dead animals and I dont have a body kit

 

a tough ABS or poly kit would be MUCH MUCH better than a fiberglass (obviously, haha) but if its a really common problem, your car is lowered and you have a fairly large body kit on there, i mean yeah it's always somethin to worry about it, even with a stock bumper on there still.

 

Buy some hids and youll see the roadkill with enough time to swerve

 

^ +1 these cars are originally really low to the ground, so you just got to keep your eyes on the road.

 

Before my dad gave me his old 99 civic (it's been mine for 3 years now) he had one time ran over a small dead deer and even with stock everything it scratched the crap out of the bottom of the front bumper.
