Thanks guys...My Civic it is going to be used as an advertising car for my job (i am a detailer) and i will add some decals just on the 3 rear windows with the logo and the name of the company.The idea was that with a body kit it would be more attractive to the eye but on the other hand (as you said) it is nice too to have a simple/clean car.So i am confused about that and i am not sure what i am going to do...I like very very much the lip-kit but on the other hand i like also to have a nice body kit....

I think your business will build a better reputation if the advertisement car is clean looking, yet still appealing to the eye and not just another ordinary looking car. You know what I mean?

Kinda like how a Corvette is appealing to the eye and looks really nice but also if you think about it is actually a pretty simple looking car, not too flashy

If you really want a body kit, but also want it to look clean, I recommend a backyard special front bumper. EDIT: just realized there isn't an EG one, but there's a backyard special front lip.

For side skirts i'd get some 96-00 skirts and paint them to match the car, and then get a rear lip for the car, or just leave the back bumper alone.
Get a nice exhaust system like an RS*R exmag, GReddy SP2, or Apex-i WS2 and the rear end will look good. Fart cans IMO make the back of the car look stupid.

For taillights, get some 92-95 Si or 92-95 Si replica/imitation taillights, those look great. Maybe tint them a little bit. http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/92-95...mZ300261523766

For added appeal, get a carbon fiber hood (OEM shape... no hood scoops)

also, if you want to attract attention, slam it. Seriously. You have no idea how many looks my old civic got at stop lights because it sat so low (tucking half the rear tire, tucking tread in front). Also, it tends to add to the sleek/clean look.

+1... I totally forgot about that


Oh, and, I forgot to mention: stay away from chrome rims.

Ya'll already know what Im gonna say. Body kits for the win brother! The thread is called 'where I can find a wbk?' not 'should I get a wbk?'. If you can't tell him where to get one, don't open your mouth. If you want one bro, go for it, its all about individuallity. That's why its called 'customising'. Because its custom. Otherwise u just have a car that is unique... just like everyone else.

Just google it man, extreme dimensions do some nice kits, as do procivic, but for the ultimate body kittin experience, nothing beats a custom kit. Most pannel beatin sprayers can whip one up for you.

Also, bad roads? AIRBAGS!

ive never heard of a bad road setting off a airbag!

and as to new rims... just buy some nice 15s. more sidewall always better ride. and bumpers.... not at all unless you drive up on curbes alot!
just lower it right and it will have a decent ride. most recomended drop setup is Koni yellow struts and Ground Control adjustable coilovers and ground control top mounts if ya slam to much.

Not setting off airbags.... airbag suspensions. Jack it up when ur rolling, slam it down when ur riding. And 18s is the nicest size wheel for a civic. I got 17s and I think its too small. Ill be getting 18s soon.
