painting

how much of a difference do you guys think painting the front and rear bumper and side moldings makes? I guess im asking if it would be worth it to do that instead of getting a 1500 body kit.

I understand you wanting to paint the side moldings but aren't your front and rear bumper already painted the same color as your car??

Painting moldings and adding a body kit are two different things ... If you paint moldings ... it is still stock ... but if you add a body kit then it is different from stock ...

I think I understand what you are asking - some stock sides are a different color than the body color. My silver Civic once had black ones.

Peronally, I would hold out for the bodykit. Or you can try and paint your sides yourself.
