thinking about a body kit...., dunno tho... should I? Options

Hey everybody...

Ive been thikning about this ever since my sister fully tricked out her civic. Should I get a body kit? When I first bought my car, the first thing that came to mind and my friend's minds were: BODY KIT! lol

My mind was set on it for the longest time, until I really started to learn about them. My sistrer's civic, has a body kit... And every now and then, she would have problems with it. And I would always watch my dad fix it back up... He'd always mention that theyre a bitch to keep and handle, because they never fit right, and theyre justa hassel, and blah blah blah

Then, I started to like the stock body I have now.... But in the back of my head, Im hearing BODY KIT! because i still really want one, but I duno.... This is tough! K...

To all those who have a body kit... Can ya tell me if theyve ever gave you problems or whatever... Maybe Im gettin the wrong idea bout them cuz its on a civic... lol!

thanks!

first of all, Bodykits really arent that hard to maintain . just drive carefully and safely if youve gotta lowered car. if youre on stock suspension like me, you can drive pretty much however you wunna drive . ive got about 6 - 6 1/2 inch clearance from the ground, and ive got no scraping chipping or cracking going on at all. and if you do go bodykit, the guys are right.. and you should do it right. buy from a well known company with good reputation for fitment and quality. i got mine from ViS and fitment was awesome - i even installed it myself with no probs. painting it is the tricky part tho, make sure u take it to a place that CAN paint bodykits/fiberglass. cuz if it aint done right, it'll chip. mine cost a crack load of money just to paint it, but was all worth it since they did a good freakin job
