Default bye-bye body kit!

well... i just about soldmy civicthe other day, but backed out at the last minute! i decided to keep it, and do something different with it... maybe a little dericing!! i'm gonna get rid of the body kit andput the oem front and rear bumpers, and side skirts back on. gonna do the type rfront andrear lips, but i have questions about these!
1. on the rear bumper where the muffler sticks out there is a cut out for it, how will the rear lip hide this?
2. for you guys with the lip kits, whatdid you do for the side skirts? just a mild set or oem skirts??
3. anyone interested in buying abody kit? lol but seriously, if you are let me know! lol

The rear lip has that same opening where the exhaust comes out, as long as your exhaust has the right size hangers on, it won't touch and melt. The rear lip doesn't hide it, it goes with it.

You can get some different side skirts but I just stuck with stock, it looks fine. Check out this post for pictures of my front/rear lipkit.

im gonna stick with my stock skirts, they flow well with me lip, theyre about the same height. And the new lip should have the same cutout for the exhaust. And you should probably do local pikcup on the body kit, mine was gonna cost like $300+ to ship, and that kinda screwed me over [&:]

^ +1, on like a red, blue or white car they look so sick, but if you've got a black car you dont really gotta worry about it, which is kinda nice

I painted my side skirts and it makes such a difference, ya and for the rear, the lip kit will come with a cutout as well.
