^ I agree. Lip kits are way cheaper, cleaner, and fit better.

I think the black widow front bumpers look really good on any newer honda, I'm eventually putting a rally style black widow on my 96 civic. The only thing I would avoid is the buddy club front end... personally i think it looks ugly.

Yes, a shitty fitting body kit is a pain in the neck to make fit correct, or at least decently...and there are MANY CRAPPY FITTING KITS out there. If you opt for a kit and not a lip, remember

a)if you get fiberglass, get a hand laid fiberglass kit, versus a fiberglass kit make from a chopper gun. Chopper gun glass kits tend to be brittle, wrap extremly easy, can be wavy and crack much easier than hand laid fiberglass. Hand laid kits are smoother, stronger, and not wavy to say the least. Most of the respected brands are hand laid glass, IE Ground Designs 2000, Bomex, etc. Just make sure to check before you buy. The cheap knock off imitations my look the same, but they don't fit the same, and are generally chopper gun kits to boot. You get what you pay for.

b)If you get urethane, make sure it is preped and baked PROPERLY. Make sure the body shop knows something, if they bake it too hot too long it will wrap the urethane. Wings west has good fitting Urethane kits (though everyone has them), a have seen some awful knock off brand urethane kits though, so be careful. In general, most kits do fit like crap, as most kits are cheap knock offs.

Well I decided after I posted that I was just going to get a lip kit. I saw a nice front lip called a "Type B" on http://www.streetstyler.com/01-03Civ...ipSpoilers.htm . I think it's tight.
