Default Wanted *96 Hatchback Ground Effects Body Kit*

Hi folks...

i hope u guys don't mind me posting this here...not sure if it's appropriate...but it seems it gets the most traffic...

i want to buy a body kit for a 96 hatchback...do u folks know of anyone who wants to sell theirs?...i can only pay $200 (sorry folks i'm cheap and poor)...

does anyone know of where i can get a fairly inexpensive body kit?

i looked in the local craigslist here and got no hits (minneapolis metro area)...

Nooo please bud dont go rice.
And the sideskirts are fine whats wrong with them? Theyre simple and clean. When they're paintmatched theyre perfect for the civic imo.
On ebay you can get both lips and a grile for less than $150 im sure.

Oh and yea this is the wrong section.
Maybe a mod. or admin. will move it to the right section for you?

dont try to make your car look like it came out of the fast and furious movie because honestly, 99% of body kits dont flow right with the body lines, body kits look too aggressive on an economy car, you will get harassed by cops, and in my opinion, it looks ridiculous. The stock sideskirts are completely fine how they are, i personally prefer them paintmatched with the body of the car like kenny said. im personally not a fan of rear lips, and a front lip will make your car look better than a body kit in my honest opinion. as kenny said, you can get a front/rear lip combo + a grill for under 150 bux, but i dont reccomend the mugen grille, they look retarded on hatch's. heres a pic of my car, i have a spoon lip.

Body kits are played out. Lip kits are clean and easy to install. I have front and rear lips on my sedan.
