Yeah, I'm definitely down for the spoiler.....I doubt we'll have any fitment issues with it.

well i did buy a spoiler from erebuni once and it was so bad that i sent it back. it was over an inch longer on one side then the other. thats why im thinking of ordering the spoiler first to chack the fitment. because if it is junk its alot cheaper to send that back then a whole kit

That's pretty bad. An inch off is unacceptable.

the biggest thing that scares me about that kit is that its not a pic of the real kit. its just a pic of a type r. i wonder how much the european or jdm front and rear bumpers are, to get rid of those damn side marker likes

Are they one piece? Like is the factory body kit molded into the bumper? It didnt appear that way...

I already have a scrape on my front bumper, so I'm going to check into shaving the reflectors off when I get my paint work done. I'll make a post when I get information on what needs to be done to shave the plastic and cost, etc...

I'm pretty much interested in the body kit also, so I called them. They are expecting to have the body kits in stock in mid Aug. As of now they don't have much on details as to how they look except they should look "just like the R type"

Anyone have the APC kit yet? It doesnt look bad, i saw it on the pep boys car at Hot Import Nights in Atlantic city. I'm thinking about getting the apc front and rear, and getting the type R side skirts... i dont know yet though, first i need to lower it.

Anyone have the APC kit yet I went up to Murray's Auto a couple weeks ago to ask them if they sold anything that APC made. (I figured I'd be able to get it cheaper than the tuner shop). They said, "Sure, what do you need?"... me, "the body kit for the 2k2 Civic Si".... calls APC.... "Oh, thats just a prototype, they don't actually sell that yet to private buyers... come back in a few weeks and we'll see if there's any change".

I'm from Northren Va. Me and some firends drove up there for HIN. 650 is alot for the kit, but the type r kit is 780, and the front bumper looks almost the exact same as the Si? The side skirts and rear is nice looking. But why would i pay 780, for a kit that has bascically the same front?

I would...if it wasn't made by Erebuni. It's good for people looking for something simple and not a completely different front end.

You would pay money for the same bumper?? Compare the type R to the Si? It's the same, the side skirts are tight and so is the rear, but the front is almost exactly the same as an Si... that would be like taking off your stock wheels, going to honda and buying a new set of stock wheels and putting them on... they look the same, unless there is something that im missing in all the pictures i have seen, and compared to....

I would if it made the car look lower, and like the Type R. Oh wait....that's just what the Type R kit does. :p

the front doesnt make the car look lower, the side skirts and the rear does, the only thing different from our front to thiers is those little wing thingies on the side of the bumper. And if you think looking at the pictures the type r looks lower, well, from what i hear, it is lower, about 1" plus they have 17" rims which kills the wheel gap. The lip of the type r , to me, is not worth it, i already have that bumper on my car, im not going to pay to get the same thing. I will buy the side skirts ans rear though.

The "wing thingies" make it look lower in the front from the side... It all comes down to preference. I've always been into subltle appearance modification, whereas some people choose to change the whole bumper and try to change the look of the car. If I had kept my 5th Gen Prelude, my next appearance mod would have been the OEM body kit. Looks the same right? Exactly....just a lil extra flavor to an already well styled car...

Ok, if you like it, thats cool, i'm just saying i dont see that much of a diff. to pay for it. I'm getting the side skirts and rear when they become avail. I'll look for another front lip, APC's doesnt look so bad except that its APC. I'll be patient and wait to see what comes out.
