Body Kits...

streakybird · 5th June 2008, 13:46

Does anyone know whether you can put a body kit on the Civic 1.8 ishift EX model (meaning can i go to a dealer and they fit it) or can you only get the side/back and front skirts colour coded?

You can get a full body kit such as the Grand Prix Pack (I think it is called Image Pack in the UK).

streakybird · 5th June 2008, 13:54

Yeah thats a good point, will i have to colour code the trim now before i attempt to add a body kit?

Dimplyred · 5th June 2008, 14:08

It says in here, Colour coding , post number two, that the image pack includes colour coding. Don't know if the prices are for retro fitting it though.

Thanks DimplyRed

I have decided to colour code the car first!

yay me!

deamer2k5 · 9th June 2008, 13:12

i have looked into the body kit, for the 3 dr its the aero pack which is a grand, my mate got a brochure from the dealer about his 5 dr and what can be put on it. seriously looking at the aero, just need the cash. lol

streakybird · 9th June 2008, 13:28

Did you get a brochure from the dealer???
is that just the civic brocure or an actual brochure for add-ons etc?

Im still in the process of researching how much it will cost for the colour coding!!!

deamer2k5 · 9th June 2008, 13:33

it was a accessories brochure but had a couple of different bumper kits for the 5 dr, i dunno wether to get the black strip around my bumpers colour coded if i were to get the aero pack, it looks nice in both instances, but i think the black outline gives it some shape.

streakybird · 9th June 2008, 13:35

it think its better to colour code the car first, then consider the body kits.
Judging from past conversations, people save up to colour code first!!!

Thats def what im gonna do... just saving for it as i need new tyres and i wanna recondition the alloys as well..... AGGGGGG MONEYYYYYY!!!

deamer2k5 · 9th June 2008, 13:39

tell me about it, i wish i could get it for cheaper than 1k, i might just get the colour coded spoiler fitted first, works out 100 quid more expensive but u can break it down into 2 payments. i see what u mean about the colour coding of the black part, but i do like it, gives a bit of a contrast to the colour.

streakybird · 9th June 2008, 13:46

i just realised that you have the tangerine colour! yeah it prob does look good with the black around it!
cos mines black with the charcoal coloured rim, i dont think it quite looks as good unless it was colour coded, but your car would look good either way, black trim or tangerine!

i think im looking at spending about 1k as well, your right, but its so worth it!

deamer2k5 · 9th June 2008, 13:49

is there any way of getting hold of the type r grille? how much would they cost to fit? i do like the 18" alloys aswell. i can see myself spending so much.

what wheels you got? mine have too many scratches for my liking, so got a quote to recondition them for £240. New tyres... dont get me started!!!

i dont know where to ask about the type r grills, maybe check ebay first, or ask around at garages... Theres always something on ebay!!! lol

lets put it this way... everything is going to cost a lot!!!

deamer2k5 · 9th June 2008, 13:59

i got 17's on it, the standard for the type s, i cant remember what the name is of the 18's but they like a 5 spoke that split near the rim, and a slightly darker colour

streakybird · 9th June 2008, 14:17

The brochure has all the names of the alloys in there, have a good look as there are some nice ones now. Or alternaitvely look at alloy wheel specialists. I love the 18s i got on mine... bouncy but fun! lol

deamer2k5 · 9th June 2008, 14:49

i was told the ride would be much rougher even by increasing it by 1" and putting low profiles on them, how do u correct that? obviously cheap way would not be to put them on. lol

Unknownsoldier · 9th June 2008, 14:51

Not noticed any difference between the ride in mine with 18's and the demo car with 17's.

deamer2k5 · 9th June 2008, 15:59
