I've been reading alot in magazines lately and noticing on the streets that fewer and fewer peole are rocking body kits and going more for the stock look or lip. Just wanted to know what has sparked this movement and why the dislike of body kits?
Im interested in hearing everyone's thoughts and opinions. This post has been edited by Lil-Joe101: Sep 10, 2011 - 6:02 AM -------------------- From Japan to Texas my st202 follows me.

There's also more of a movement for OEM/JDM on 6gc due to a few reasons. First and foremost, I like to think we're a more mature bunch than the backwards-hat wearing, pants-at-knees wearing, gansta-hand-sign making Civic crowd. Second, I think it's due to a lack of variety in appealing aftermarket body kits for the 6th gen. The OEM stuff wasn't a one-size-fits-all design that was varied slightly to fit different cars like some of the other body kits. On the whole, I think today's trend is still Hellaflush. Or you can never go wrong with an artifact of an Impala with 45" rims that give you more ground clearance than most pickup trucks. That look is a classic. It'll never die.
