The "No HFP Body Kit will touch my Si" thread

SoCal07Si · 04-12-2008, 02:48 PM

So, I noticed alot of people have the HFP body kit. Honestly, I've only seen 2 or 3 body kits on our cars that were not HFP.

Its not that I dont like that style, I do, somewhat. But damn its getting old. I'm dying to see somethin new.

You can be the 4th one with something new

***Yospeed*** · 04-12-2008, 03:09 PM

^ha ha ha ha.

I'm not buyig the HFP kit either.

I like it but everyone has it.

It's the easier to come by and probably the cheapest since it comes painted from the factory. It's probably the best looking as well because of the previous statement. Most guys who buy body kits skimp out on quality paint jobs and get orange peel like crazy or just have poor paint jobs in general. Oh well

Thats because the HFP kit looks the best on this car. All the others are just nasty looking especially that wide bodied one!!

Barry · 04-12-2008, 03:53 PM

I don't see that many si's by me and the ones i do see don't have hfp and i happen to think it looks awesome so i am gonna go for it. But if everyone i saw had it i probably wouldn't do it either.

johnbud · 04-12-2008, 04:02 PM

same here.. i bought mine and installed it cause it's not that common around san antonio.. of course when we have are car meets we have 10-12 cars and i believe 3 had the kit including me... i love it and researched body kits before hand and they looked to ricy for me...

SoCal07Si · 04-12-2008, 09:10 PM

It seems to be about every 4th Si I see does NOT have it. I can see your guys' point.

sh33t_0f_p4p3r · 04-12-2008, 09:30 PM

the only reason a hfp kit will not touch my car is cuz im to cheap

twfa1 · 04-12-2008, 09:30 PM

The hfp kit is definitely the cleanest looking which is no surprise because it's oem. I might end up with a front lip only, but never a full kit.

Hopefully the 2009 model has a wider rear bumper that flares out more and I can just swap that out. if you know the difference between 94/98+ integra rear bumpers or 04/06+ tsx rear bumpers you'll understand what I mean.

There will be more body kits (at least an hfp offering) when the 2009s start coming out and people start doing mmc front and rear update conversions to their 06-08 civics, like like what people do on other hondas to make them look different.

IMO, the Sedan HFP-Kit looks better then the Couple HFP-Kit.

MellowGato · 04-12-2008, 09:36 PM

no likeee

CanyonDriver · 04-12-2008, 09:41 PM

non-functional body kits= FTL

o-hatch · 04-12-2008, 09:43 PM

The HFP-Kit (Coupe) looks nice, but it seems to throw off the Original OEM lines and shape.

Gonzo · 04-12-2008, 09:43 PM

I highly doubt my car will ever see one. It looks great on some cars, but not on my car, thanks!

i kinda like the hot wheels one... but i've only seen pics of it not in person... it doesn't seem too flashy or all of that...

KEVtec · 04-12-2008, 11:38 PM

I do hope soon they will sell some good looking customized kits for the sedan... and ofcourse affordable since almost all except hfp are a bit pricey and it is not even painted. grrr...

yeah, its too sharp

Kronos_32 · 04-13-2008, 12:18 AM

Mugen replica for the FA5 looks nice IMO. especially with the spoiler. Also the tourenn one for the coupe looked pretty nice too. i cant find the thread it was in but it had a lip kit and a full body kit. HFP is ehhhhhh. if the price for one goes down then i'll snag but 800+ for cosmetics is unecessary. i'd rather get a reflash and short shifter kit.

SoCal07Si · 04-13-2008, 12:52 AM

honestly, i'm in love with the Mugen kit.
