Well are you looking for the extreme look or the simple clean look. If you like extreme get a body kit, simple, then get the lips

a good lip kit would look great and a good body kit either. You must choose yorself what do you want. so the best you can do is looking at pics as much you can...........

it all comes down to what you really want..if you put rims on your civic that are over 16" you need go body kit unless you dont care that your car wont look that low..but if you put 16" rims on, go a nice lip kit and drop your ride..it looks sooooo clean..I recommend 16s and lip kit..but remember its your car

You cant really ask which is better, but if you decide on a kit, then ask everyones opinion on which kit to get. That would be an easier question

Yeah, like a CWest kit is really clean but its a full kit. If youve got alot of potholes and crap around your town get a polyU bodykit or plastic lips, so many peeps in my town drive around with ugly broken kits.:oops:

I think the lip kit would be the way to go. They look cleaner, and the simple look is best sometimes. Plus a body kit adds a lot of weight. For rim size, you should get 16s because 17s can slow you down. It all depends if you want to be all show or not.

eh, stick to just the c-west front bumper... they sideskirts and rear bumper done look that great IMO...

see. . . .




alrite, well the sidskirts are alright, but the rear bump is not

if no one knows what the front bumper looks like.. well looks like this



and you can get that exact same front bumper in carbon fiber even 0_o

fawk taht rearend... that's like a bmw.... the sides i can respect, but i think the stock sides are fine...

any nice rearends? i always think civics look really odd with a low frontend, low sideskirts, and the rearend looks funny without anything.. just sticking out up there

this is the 96-98 oem rear lip (which i've been told should fit 99-00 as well). see how that doesn't make the rear look all raised and out of place?

lip kits are inexpensive and they really look nice on your ride....and as for the rim size. go with 16's and less, any bigger than that than might as well go for a monster truck, cuz they be oogly
