agreed. you might like the wbk for a year, but eventually you'll hate it and regret the $800 you spent on one. The same goes with regular body kits. But if you insist on a wbk, check out extremedimensions.com... they might have something.

i just like the way that car looks on a good body kit...I know that is just a good way to spend some money on something that you may get boring about it...Also it is a matter of taste if something looks good or not...Maybe my taste is awful but that's the only one i have : )
So do you recommend me not to buy a body kit??What about the JDM front and rear lip spoilers??Are they a good idea??
Thanks again.

I know I've seen EG wbk's, I just can't remember where. But honestly (and I'm speaking from experience here), I wouldn't recommend getting a body kit. If you're serious about modding cars tastefully, you'll eventually start to see the beauty in stock/slightly modified body work, and if you have a body kit, you'll probably end up taking it off when that happens, and you'll never get your money back (bought my kit for $500, sold it for $100 cash + a set of stock bumpers).

I'd suggest getting a lip kit (personally I love the mugen and spoon front lips on EGs, and the OEM front lip looks bada** too); they're cheaper, and they maintain the stock body lines. Not to mention if you're into slamming cars like I am, they're not as low as body kits. Before I sold my civic, I threw my old r34 front bumper on it just for kicks... it was literally 2 inches off the ground; that's not even enough to clear a speed bump.

98% of people on this forum and others will tell you just buy a lip kit front and rear and your good to go. most are flexable so you dont have to worry to much about hiting a curb and destroying it like a fiberglass body kit will shatter with the slightest touch!

LESS IS MORE now a days.... just remember that. anyone can rice up a car... its nice to see some clean cars. at least thats just my opinion..

I have a lip as do most people like addiction said. They just give your car that extra wow. Body kits are for show cars
