I have a 98 accord, it has a pretty bad ding (well not too bad, you have to be close to see it but on the other hand my car is black)in the front bumper. I think it cracked it or it could just be the paint. The whole thing looks a little worn out. Should i just get a body kit or try to fix it.
Also if i should get a body kit what materials are they made of? Are there any i should stay away from. What is a good place to go shopping for one? Is there a good website?

I think you should get a body kit, cars look mad sick with kits. Most kits are made of fiberglass or urethane I believe, here is a thread with a fatty list of good body kit web sites.

id say if you have enough money get a full kit, not just the front piece, but if you do buy a kit, stay far away from assylums.com they are terrible.

Thanks alot guys, you'll have been very helpful. I have very little money so i can't buy a whole kit. I don't want something that will make my car ride too low, but want something a little different. If it rides too low i want something that will not be hurt so much if it gets scraped. It has a small sideskirt so if i just get the front it won't look too awkward. Is a 900$ kit worth it if it will just be for looks?

Where? Online or in Automotive stores. I haven't asked about it in the stores. How do most body kits attach? Screws? Double sided tape or just glue?

my instructions said for mine to be held on by 212 rubber bands. You have to get the strong kind though, not the regular stuff at k-mrat, but try wal-mart, they have strong ones. Each bumper has about 50 holding it on and about 50 per side skirt. It kinda hangs funny like and bounces a little bit while driving, but it's pretty decent. Good luck with yours. :)

lol, nice kicker, most have a combination of screws and tape holding them.

and you can get a full set of lip spoilers for your car which spice it up some, without the full cost of new bumpers and shit.
