'91 EX Coupe body kit

[CB7_Slater]

What i want for my car is a body kit that looks good but also helps the performance of the car. i have looked everywhere i can think of so does anyone know where i can find one for a good price?

Body kits don't do performance.

If you want performance: do the engine , suspension and weight reduction.

i beg the differ some body kits do help with the performance, ie cooling the brakes and motor, help get air to the motor etc etc.

sadly the people that design body kits dont do Research and Development for all of those benefits you listed. Some just steal the design from EVOs and Skylines, or just randomly make lines and holes.

If you want performance, invest in the motor and suspension. Body kits for our cars in general are strictly for show. I know other hondas have companies that actually do their homework to make the kits do work but we dont have that.

Ah ok, sorry bout that. Its just that i know on a couple of kits my friends and i put on there cars all had proof that they do help with the performance of there cars.

that was just due to more air flow to the engine, big a** gaps everywhere, but more power to you with the body kits....Is your car already lowered? if so how low??

well when i bought the car back in Nov of 07 it looked to me to be lowerd but im not sure at the moment lol. i had to have my crank seal replaced so it was at a shop for hell almost a month.

In order for a body kit to improve brake cooling, you'd need to cut holes in the original body for air to flow through. I can see it improving airflow into the engine compartment, maybe, but whatever performance you get from the improved airflow aould be offset by the added weight of the kit. If they did get better performance from a body kit, then they would have been even better off buying a CAI. Not once have I ever seen a body kit improve dyno results. Adding weight to your car will not improve performance. Adding a wing will not help either. In fact if your car gets fast enough to actually make a wing do it's job, it would be counter productive on our cars. Pushing the rearend down at speed lightens the front end, where your drive wheels are. I'm with everyone else; if you want performance: engine, suspension, weight reduction. If you just want to look fast: body kit.

*edit* - Just saw you're out in Roswell. You should be able to do some great photo shoots out there. I was in Vegas over the summer and took a few drives out into the desert. Lots of beautiful scenery out there to use as a background. Made me wish I'd taken my coupe instead of flying and getting a rental.

Not in some cases. C-WEST body kits help in performance. they have been tested on a track. the ones you buy for $300 arent going to help anything. C-WEST kits are really expensive.
