what do you guys think about wide body kits?

i found a 94 hatch that has a wide body kit on it, im not sure if its a good or bad thing to have? tell me what you think trying to decide whether the car is a good deal or not

this is the only picture i could find of the kit style http://i87.photobucket.com/albums/k150/mizlude/Mobile Uploads/8e96.jpg

my opinion is don't do it but thats just me i like the stock look and just go with sleeper status.

 

[dsettle1312]

yeah im kinda in the middle on it, its definitly something different. if you were to take off the kit would there be holes where it was mounted over the wheel wells?

 

[vjf915]

My opinion....no. But my opinion isn't what matters. You should get whatever you like.

 

[dsettle1312]

yeah im just trying to see what people on here think, you all know way more about these cars then i do. im 16 gettin into civics

 

[R3dline]

I wouldn't buy someone elses project man body kits and wide bodys are never installed right because people don't take the time to do it right. So I say no brotha. Find you a stock one

 

[R3dline]

And if that is the car you are looking at run. Fast

there it is

Widebodys can be cool but usually aren't done well

 

[dsettle1312]

whats the best way to tell if its done right or not, the guy doesnt live far from me i was gonna go look at it tomorrow

 

[MistahJuice]

In my opinion that car looks kinda weird. A wide body kit could look good but I wouldn't trust taking someone elses project like that. Your 16 get a stock one and work on it for a couple years lol.

 

[dsettle1312]

yeah im thinkin thats a good idea. i just cant find a stock coupe or hatch in my area for 2500 for some reason, all have rust and alot of dents

 

[civicSIcoupe]

its hard to find a rust-free older civic now-a-days, but if you don't mind doing some bodywork then your set to go lol. i say wait until you find a totally stock one, then mod it as you go. im 18, bought my civic stock when i was 16, have worked on it constantly, and will continue to work on it a lot, a project never ends unless you let it

 

[dsettle1312]

yeah iim definitly putting alot of money into whatever car i get, ive been trying to get my parents to go in half on a nice car so i can get a 99 si or something but they wont give me a dime lol

 

[SottoAi]

its ok my parents are the same way but what is sad is they used my money to buy me my 4dr civic buts ok its still a work in progress.
i think they only way to get a clean body is if you find one thats is pretty much almost clean and fix it up yourself plus it will give you more of an understanding of whats works with your car and what doesnt.
i was thinking about doing the airwalker/ back yard special front on mines but it doesnt appeal much to me.
if you what to do something differents its just on you and how you want to play out the colors and set up.

 

[dsettle1312]

yeah. i mean im being picky about the body, i can do any engine work a car needs just dont wanna mess with body work

 

[SottoAi]

i think body work is much easier to do
well thats just me since i dont really mess with the motor as much as i should be
just tell me whats wrong with and i'll tell you want you can do to make an easy fix without wasting money

 

[dsettle1312]

lol i will , hopefully getting one here soon, found a few decent ones im gonna go look at. the wide body kit is out of the question

 

[SottoAi]

alright, civics are a pretty nice ride when you fix it up
just dont get stuck with an automatic because the manual conversion is a beetch to do
i know because i am doing that right now
but what do you have in mine like coupe, hatch ek or eg? or something else?

 

[dsettle1312]

anything really as long as its a civic, dont want anything else. really wanting an eg or ek hatch.
