I agree. Keep it simple. Instead of opting for a whole new front bumper, throw on a lip. OEM or whatever...can't really go wrong with lips...as full bumpers usually go out of style. Also, you should check into the Civic Hybrid's front bumper. That things looks a little more sportier compared to the stock Civic bumper. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ImportGirl82 Posted February 3, 2003 Author Share Posted February 3, 2003 see that is simple..thats what i want is simple... i have to replace the rear bumper so i figured just to get a kit...and having it be a family car i didnt want nothing big..just simple.. thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
the1darkprince Posted February 6, 2003 Share Posted February 6, 2003 this might be a little off topic, but i jsut had a question. i know with the early hybrids, the cars shape was designed to have a more aerodynamic flow (we talked about this in my aero class). does it still hold true with the newer hybrids? or do they just slap a hybrid engine in a normal body? just curious...(as always) -Kirkus Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I do it a lot...especially at 2am. i know with the early hybrids, the cars shape was designed to have a more aerodynamic flow (we talked about this in my aero class). does it still hold true with the newer hybrids? or do they just slap a hybrid engine in a normal body? I believe there was significant gains in Hybrid engine technology, where it was feasable to stick them on a regular sedan. Toyota is planning on having a Hybrid version of each model in it's line-up. Anyways...buddy..do you know about,,rear bumbers.....i need to get a new one...so hubby said that you better off paying 2 hundred more... for a kit...i like the hybird front..they have anything for the rear.. Hmmmm, not sure about rear bumpers. Again, I'd prolly try to stick with lips, since those aren't as garish as most kits out there. Kind of hard finding stuff for a 4 Door 2001 Civic, but I gotta say Kaminari's kit is nice...although I don't think they are bumper replacements. But, their fitment is some of the best among body kit manufacturers. http://www.kaminari.com/products/01Civic.h...htm#big_picture Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
..SSR.. Posted February 6, 2003 Share Posted February 6, 2003 Unless you want to keep looking like a ricer, don't get a bodykit, spend the money on something that will actually make you faster. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
the1darkprince Posted February 6, 2003 Share Posted February 6, 2003 dude do you like to try and steal my threads....geez....make ur own.... i let it go the first time but the second time...errrr.... my beef. i'm sorry. i just find it easier to post in a topic that is somewhat related to what i'm asking about. instead of just starting a whole new thread. like i said, my beef. i'll try to keep it down to a minimum. -Kirkus Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BuddySol Posted February 10, 2003 Share Posted February 10, 2003 Don't stray to far from stock, and you should be fine As I said, Wings West's kits for the Civic aren't bad and their fitment is good to boot. I'd prolly choose something from them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'd prolly choose something from them. don't know what they have out for the newer civics, but wings west does make really good kits. i have one on my crx, and haven't had any problems with it. i also haven't heard any complaints from anyone i know who has one or has had one. just be sure to get a urethane kit, whichever way you plan to go :nod: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
