    custom mounting bodykits

    there are no kits for these 3rd gens but I seen some with custom fitted kits that look absolutly sick, what I wanna know is which car are these kits meant for?? new accords like 94+ or what cuz from lookin at them I dont see how a civic is as wide as a 3rd gen cord, who wknows what the deal is, cuz I'd go out tomorrow and buy a kit that wasnt made for my car if I knew which one would suit up properly and than I'd just mangle it on there or send it off to the bodyshop for installation.so which kits suit up best??!!??

    Well, I'm wondering the same thing, what cars body kit could be easily customized to fit our car, I heard someone say he's gonna buy the Black Widow body kit but he didn't say for what car, and I know they don't make a Black Widow for our car, Unless he paid a hellacious price to let them use his car to make one for our car, but all the body kits except for the Xenon Body Kit looks shitty, I think I would like to have a Black Widow Body kit on my car, I've allways loved it, and Plus, that would make me have to make a Dual exaust system for the 3G accord to fit the Black Widow body kit, I'm gonna email Ground Designs 2000 and ask them what mesurements do I have to take to know which kit suits me the best.

    Actually a LLLLOOOOOONNNNNGGG time ago before I ever signed up as a member on the EZboard I was reading a thread on how when our cars were still really popular back in the early 90's, how there was actually a Black Widow Kit. I don't mean to sound like I'm talking out of my ass but I vaguely remember it, I'm glad you brought it up, is there anyone else here who remembers that and could give any more info on the subject??

    I'd love that, the Black Widow kit has allways been my fav, and since its square and the car is square, I figure it would go well together. I want to make my car a show/race car, I changed my mind about all the high tech high performance shit.

    I know that 4G accords might be harder than some others. The car is narrower and longer than ours. The rear fender on the bumper is shorter on the 4G as well. That means that instead of just having to cut and cover, the shop will have to shape and add. That means more money. I don't believe that the 4G is the cheapest way to go. Later Lockleaf

    I just stuck a kit off a supra onto my car in my sig pic... but it's always easier to photoshop first and see what it could look like then spend money and do it in real life.

    hey MSI- did you say that Ground designs told you that the Integra will work. Cause if so, thanks for the info. I'm the one who said he was going to put the BW kit on my car. I was going to use the 4g accord but I hadn't done any measuring. This will save me alot of time and money. There's a company in a ad in Import Tuner this month who has the full BW body kit for $399.99

    when people say..."90-91 integra kit" or "4G kit" thats all well and good...but what company makes the kit that fits both those cars and ours..I guess what my question is..is....if there was 5 body kits, all from different makers that fit the "90-91 integra", could i just pick one and stick it on my car? if we assumed it fit?

    Yo, I'm a student too (college junior, which means no mom to nag me about "wasting" money on my car :-) I've found the best way to put a body kit on a 3g is to make it. side skirts are easy to make out of fiberglass, and so is a front fender lip, you can use your current bumper as a partial mold. It's what I did to my '86 accord DX HB before I sold it and bought my '89 LXi.

    I was at a friends house who happend to have a Wings West Front bumper for a 99 Civic. I got a bright idea and decided to see how far off it was. Much to my suprize and delight, it fit about as perfectly as you can expect. The only real problem was that the way its made it won't let the headlights retract down, but thats fixed by a couple simple cuts on the body kit and PRESTO, you have a hella nice body kit for your car. The cool thing is that its poly so you dont have to worry about cracking and stuff. I've gotten so many looks while driving my car around. I have pics that i'll hopefully get put up on the site.
