i can't picture a lip kit on a car, only pictures i'm finding are the lip itself not on a car.

well i'll tell you from personal experience, body kits can be a bitch but if you like it then go for it. i have a blitz front bumper on my civic and i can't remember the type of rear bumper i have, as far as the sideskirts go, i'm still looking for ones that are decent.

oh and if you buy the kit, be sure to fit it before drilling any holes to make sure it all lines up nicely. i had to mold mine on, take a heat gun to it and everything. PAIN IN THE ***.

Lip kit would be nice, but if you want a body kit get something different from a blitz front bumper, no offense psychocivic. I mean, every civic I see has the same body kit so go for something a little less comon.

Yea I think you should get a new front bumper, lots of people have those...including me, I figured that out after I bought mine. [:@]

i agree look for a new front and start saving to get all the parts fixed...most fiberglass kits look like crap when they come in and the wide body is goin to need alot of work esp. if your molding it on like the ones in the pic...usually come all wavy and thin....good luck though..
