body before engine?

i drive a 2000 civc hatch cx. i have the cash to get a bomex full body kit plus wing. the problem is the engine is the d16y7 sohc. the mileage is awsome and im very happy with it because i drive about 20 miles each way to work and i travel from alb. nm. to denver and las vegas alot. i thought i would just go for looks and turn alot of heads but i feel it would be false advertising kinda like that softball team that has all the matching gear and eqiupment but really suck ass.......what would you suggest i do?:bloated:

Go for the full kit, who cares about speed. There's no rule that says every car that looks nice has to be fast. I say go for the kit if you want it, there's nothing wrong ith that. Some cars are all go, some are show and go, and some are just show. Nothin' wrong with that at all, get the kit. :)

Eaxctly, do as u want and not as other want, currently im going the same way, looks before anything else.

any plans to lower it? I think you should definately lower it, even a little bit, if you're gonna get a kit.

we get alot of snow here in winter and the ruts get pretty deep...i live down a pretty long dirt road.......im afraid i wouldnt make it out...

im also thinking about sripping the dark tint off and going with the blue ice tint like the oakley shades...if they are legal here in nm.

ohh that dirt road will mess up yoru kit.. unless u go HELLA sl0w!


also u get alot of snow-- how much did u get in tha last storm?

Just do a 1.5-1.75" drop... Nothin major...

I live in CT-- & we got like 8" in tha last storm.. on top of tha 7 " we got hta week b4.. soo Snow is a BIG issue here...

tha kit would look nice.. But make sure u paint tha mouldings.. & tha handles..

I would go with the kit. And i hope this doesnt sound dumb but what about bigger rims or something to bring the car up.

And where in New Mexico you from??

Gusto where in CT you from?

I am in alamogordo new mexico aka holloman afb, and I am from uncasville Ct. Wow this is a small world;)

i live in sandia park....about 20 miles east of albuquerque. i am thinking of going with 17" or 18" rims to at least make the car look lower instead of actually lowering it, but i could lower it in the summer then raise in the winter.....well.....hell.....ill just put hydrolics.....yeah right.:sun:
