Default body kits

I want to change my front bumper and I need new sideskirts. I've been reading and I know I should go with polyurethane. Thing is, i can't seem to find any good looking ones.

I found some company called viniati (viniati.com) that makes these 'duraflex' and other types of bumpers and I was wondering if anyone can tell me what they thought about that type of material or if anyone has any suggestions as to what I can get.

Thx

Well Sebba, I know what you mean, but my side skirts or whatever and my door caps are cracked and in bad shape and I am actually missing a piece so I need new side skirts. My front bumper is cracked and honestly if it were a 97 bumper I would leave it or repair it, but it's not. I have a 95 gst and I can't stand the bumper that's on it. I am sure you know which bumper I am talking about, it has like oval openings and looks like crap.

So any other ideas.

i had a blitz fron bumper and had it replaced with a stock 97 bumper and i love it i dont have to worry about scraping it in drive ways or drive thrus or speed bumps and most people on here love the stock front bumper look and i agree with them. i used to think it was cool to have a body kit but then i learned if you want a body kit to add horsepower by a honda

Well if I buy the 97 bumper, won't I have to change my headlights? Which equals more cash$$$$ outta my pocket? Or am I wrong about the headlights?

You will need to change them yes. However, it will pay for itself when you have to pay for the bodykit to be mounted. That will be double what new lights would be.

Well I was going to do it as one big job for the paint shop I was going to bring my car to. But I guess since stock is so highly recommended I'll look into it.

Thanks man.

You wouldn't be able to recommend lights would you - OEM?

You can get some ebay projector lights if you want. They do the job
