I havent posted in a while too busy working but anyways, I finally have enough money for body work on my car. The only problem is which kit should I get? I can either get the type r kit now or hold off and get the buddy club kit when it comes out. I like both kits, which one would you guys get though?:confused:

personally I think I am going to wait on a kit, just because right away there will be a ton of ppl with the same looking car as you because of the limited selection of kits available for our car, or I am going to save up and get the mugen kit, pretty expensive so I don' t think that there will be so many of those around. If I was going to choose between those two I would go for the type R kit, buddy blub is not really my style.
Just my .02

Thanks for the feedback. I'll be deciding which one to get soon b/c my bodyshop is just dying to get to work on a new si. Also one more thing, we were measuring and sizing things up the other day and what do you guys think about nsx vents on the side of the car? Just a idea we had at the shop.

side vents will look alright. Adam saruwatari's SI has a side vent, looks alright.

Good job slowcivic. Anyways instead of going straight for the vents on the side we are going to start simpler and install either a tiburon gas tank or prelude gas tank. I think the little black circle Tiburon gas tank will look good on the side of the si

hey guys, I just re-read this thread and saw that someone mentioned NSX side vents. Well, it reminded me that I did a photoshop of it on a CTR, a long time ago. So here. http://www.digitalpose.com/mbr/1/4636/p/75167_4474221241214434887.jpg

edit: almost forgot...I also added NSX projectors in the healights..well I kinda changed the headlights anyways.

I always found sidevents cheesy on a non midengine car. Kinda useless and ricey. Looks ok but what are you gonna use em for? cooling off teh cargo in ur hatch? id take that money and buy a nice I/h/e system. Or save up and get a typr r motor.

You're exactly right redronin22. Believe me when I say I'm not the type to put things on my car that have no purpose or efficacy. I did that photoshop for a contest way back when(I lost). But yes, I totally agree with you that side vents are for strictly for MR set up like the NSX,MR2,Ferrari to name a few. But I think sidevents would look nice on an EP.:)

where can i find the typr R? who makes it? also, where can i find the buddy kit, i dont think i have seen that one. please gimme some links here, im ready to buy a kit now. i was looking at mugen, it says like $560 for the front bumper kit, do u know if that comes with the side skirts and rear bumper? i know im not paying $980 for just that wing, cant afford it. but i wonder how much the front and rear bumpers and the sides are? anyway, gimme some links please ;)

Port. Just do a search in the Aerodynamics section of this site. You'll find all the links and pics you're looking for.
