Default can't decide on a body kit

Anyone have some suggestions as to a body kit. I know this question has probably been asked 5000 times since the start of the forum, but I have a terrible time deciding on anything myself.

There are some basic things I am looking for:
1. I don't really want to get over 500.00 if at all possible
2. I like simple and practical, maybe room for a nice set of fogs, not too aggressive.
3. I want decent quality that won't crack all to hell in 3 months, and possibly a warranty or good company backing the purchase, like procivic or etc.

If someone has a suggestion I am all ears, I am bookmarking everythign I pick out. So far I like this from procivic, its under my price range.

I would even be willing to look into stuff like lip kits and etc, as long as I have some deeper side skirts to give it the lowerd look. I am pretty easy really, just want something that looks stylish, without looking gay :-)

As always, thanks in advance.

c-west is nice, I like the front the best. But my fave and alot of people will say this, is the buddy club. Its just great. But really your going to go over 500 and you still need to get paint/installation.

Lip kit ftw

well i like the way ur thinking......not too over the top......i really like the front bumper and the side skirts on that kit, but im not feeling the back bumper at all...i tried to look for 1 for you, but procivic has some corny *** body kits....the only thing i could think of, is the sides and front from that kit, and a lip on the back, but thats kinda a pain in the butt...lol mayb the rear will grow on me over time, i have been known to like big rear-ends

well I like some of the wings west kits also, but they are really just lip and tail lip kits with side skirts. They are much more simple though, but my front bumper needs to be replaced cause it has a crack, where she ran into something a while back, and the rear is kind of sagging, I might be able to get it back in shape and sand it down for paint, but I like the idea of a whole new bumper and rear bumper.

There is a real simple look, just almost like a factory option, gives it a lower look without the springs, utilizes the factory bumpers, and looks pretty easy to self-install minus paint. I am not sure of the pricing on those, but I assume they are still in the 500's :-(

if i were you id just get a nice lip kit because more than likely if you get a body kit, its going to be fiberglass for that price and isnt going to fit worth anything. but if i did get one, it would be the buddy club 4sure.

if u want a body kit go with it, i noe like 347892347892348923489 people are going to say go with lips!!!!, but its all up 2 wat u want, i bout a polyurethane body kit from erebuni...... i paid $520 with fog lights, but i got hooked up cause i noe someone who works their, but polyurethane wont crack and fits perfect, i suggest u go for urethane, worst comes worst go with fiberglass just make sure it fits and under no circumstances get abs nothing but cheap crap..... and remember u have to get the kit installed and painted wihich is another $500 if u take it 2 a shop, and theirs also a possiblity u might have 2 get the whole car painted because the fresh paint on the kit will not match the car paint.... just put everyting in perspective and good luck!!!!!
