Hi. I'm looking to installing a full bodykit for my 2003 honda accord v6. I have a few question I would like to ask regarding this.
I want to know what is the best brands of bodykits money can buy.
I guess like, which is the most durable,best material,?
Thanks.
What's the difference between a body kit and a lip kit except for how it looks? I'm just wondering because everyone has been recommending a lip over a bodykit and I just want to know why it's better?
Mods: Del Sol Si - B16 T3/T4 Turbo, Tsudo Exhaust, No cat, 450cc. Phoenix Gold MaxX Carbon Fiber Subs, 2000watt amp.

That's what makes the difference between rice and nice.
Body kit involves full bumper changes which usually consist of ridiculous radical body line ruining alterations while a lip kit (depending on whether you want all of it done) consists of SUBTLE side skirts (also included in body kits but usually in a more radical version) and front and back clipped or bolted on additions to the existing oem bumpers. This provides a subtle but impacting style change that usually increases body line appeal and makes the car lower (just because the lip additions are closer to the ground than the stock, no suspension mods included in a lip kit haha)...If you're looking for the BEST material, look into hybrid aero, its a "hybrid" mixture of fiberglass and flexible plastics (I think polyurethane is included but not sure), these are super durable easy to work with, but yes more pricey...As far as good looks on Your car idk its your choice but if you want some good examples of clean lip kits, search integra type r lip kits...hope I helped

thanks for the response, it did help quite a bit. and, just to clarify, ur saying that full bodykits look bad because it ruins the bodyline? sorry, i'm still just a college student and this is my first car, i have trouble understanding these complicated " car " languages, it'd be nice if u can just water it down a little for me , just so i understand. thanks.
also, just a quick question about something else, i'm trying not to od on making new threads, i was looking to get like a short ram and a supercharger also, but a lot of the shops that i asked said that the supercharger can't be done because my car has a V6 and there arent enough space under the hood, for the super charger. Is that true?
