Oh yea, stock bumpers + lip > body kit always.

Ever hear of a flame suit? You should invest in one. lol
never heard of a flame suit.. new to Hondas actually imports all together this is my first one.. lol.

I do like sleepers but this is gonna be my daily driver so i'd rather keep her slow and shinny.

I'm good with body work so i'm just molding the **** together to the fenders and so forth well you get the idea..

i'm boosting with a very little boost so it won't have a huge power diff. .. it will be clean just with a euro g-effex look.

One thing Ive learned belonging to online vehicle forums, you do what you want to your vehicle, its yours, nobody elses, if you like it, great. If somebody else doesnt, F**k em.

it's just good to be around honda ppl. and i say this in a good way, honda ppl think differently than other car owners.. Chevy, Nissan, Ford etc..

So i ask the opinion to get what ppl think I know what I want and no ones opinion will change mine, but it's good to know what other honda owners think..and honestly it's a relief that most of you guys are avoiding kits like this.. it just proves theres more to a car than slapping a body kit on it.. I just happen to like this style.. lol.

I'm not going to lock this thread unless it gets completely out-of-hand. I've seen these threads go very downhill very fast. I can only think of one body kit thread that went somewhat decent, and that was after 10 pages of people bashing the original poster for having a body kit (basically telling him it looked like crap and he wasted money).

Oh, and I wouldn't recommend molding the kit for the off chance that something would happen to the kit, especially a fiberglass kit. Besides, if the bumper digs into the ground and it's molded, it's going to crack the fiberglass where it's molded to the fender. To be honest (from experience), you're probably going to run into fitment issues at the corners: under the front headlights (the bumper will be bending around the corners and will "fold" up a little under the headlights) and most likely at the rear corners (the bumper will probably be pushed out a little where it wraps around the curve beside the taillights). That's just from my experience, and I'm sure it wouldn't be a problem if you know what you're doing as far as auto body. When I had a kit, I was 16 and had no clue about body work.

lol yeah i've seen that happen but this car is mainly used for work and back my daily driver and it's 90% highway. The body kit bumpers are actually pretty close to where the stock ones are.. what i mean is I thought they would be lower than the OEM but not by much. Thanks for the Feed tho man it helps getting tips from those who've been through it before..

so you already have them? or are they still on the way? Just because you see the kit on the car for the Site you bought it from, don't mean its direct fit...
