That body kit makes the car look like it will break if you hit a road reflector...and those pictures are just a match for the kit. Great Job! I bet you get a lot of looks from the civic crowd in that....they're laughing at you.

....that thing will be a rattle-trap like the old *** Integra kit I saw shakin' down the road a while ago. HAHA what a POS. That's what I think. I told horse the same thing. He understood my difference of opinion, and you guys should too. I still think the kit sucks and that is fine. As for the pics....they really are bad. No bad feelings, just bad pics.


I took these as a joke when I got a digi-cam.....the above were not meant as a joke....

That kit will definitely reduce lift in the front. Might be interesting to take it on the track.

My only gripe is that the bulk of JDM kits are FRP. Yes they weigh less, but unless you drive on a smooth track 100% of the time, they will eventually chip or break with real world driving.

It should last at least 1-2 years though.. it's true that Fiberglass will chip with everyday driving, that is inevitable... But I'm sure he'll be happy for at least 2 years with it before he has to repaint and fix the damages from the road.

two years is a little generous...more like 5 months...

Hmm.. I'll give it at least 1 1/2 years before anything major happening to it. I've seen the kit before in person, and though it's flexible, it's still fiberglass... which "will" crack with hard dips and hits for a daily driver.

Depends on whether Sam drops the car too low, add new tires..etc..
