Default Mix & Match Body Kits On Ebay

Has anyone out there tried the mix & match body kits, I would like to know how they fit and look on your civic if you have one. Just looking for some pointers on purchasing a body kit for my civic.

just don't even try it.... the fitment is virtually garunteed to be atrocious. Sure, there's the .1% chance that you'll get a good-fitting kit, but why risk it if the odds say you'll be unhappy with the end result. If you're looking for an inexpensive but tough kit, try one from http://www.aerotrends.com/. That's where I got my old fiberglass kit, and I was super pleased with it (shipping was quick, customer service was really friendly, and the kit's fitment was excellent). However, you must remember that how well a kit fits varies for each individual kit; even kits of the same make aren't exaclty alike. If you don't want to have to worry about the fiberglass kit breaking (though fiberglass's durability is underrated) and you don't want to have to worry about fitment, go with a urethane kit. Unfortunately, urethane kits are about twice the price of fiberglass.

tried it, fitment SUPRISINGLY wasnt horrendous, quality was though, dont do it man, the thing is fragile as hell, just dont do it, seriously, trust it. Get either a lip or drop the extra $$ for a polyurtehane/ABS kit.

if looking to buy a body kit look for the blue class fiberglass kit real flexible and stronger then average cheap kits. www.visracing.com check that site out alot of nice stuff. urethane is def. the best.

looks like a type R style lip to me... http://www.streetstyler.com/would probably have them as would http://www.hmotorsports.com/

(and next time, try PMing the user... a lot of people post in a thread once and don't check it again)
