just had an accident with my civic, it decided to sniff this other car's butt :(. anyway the front bar need to be replaced along with a whole lotta other things. insurance goes standard front bar is about 500ish, i can get an aftermarket on if i want, just have to pay anything extra if its more than 500

theres this particular bodykit i was after from the states. . . made from polyurethane, its about 1013.00 USD which is roughly 1400-1500AUD. the kit is sold as a whole - front, rear and sideskirts

is it worth importing the kit?? or get a fiberglass custom made (though im not to fond of fiberglass) or screw the whole idea and go stock

this is the kit i was after
HONDA CIVIC 2&4DR Shogun Style 514

Get some shipping prices first.... I imagine after shipping and taxes, it would be quite expensive.....then you've gotta paint the thing....

allow for around 1/3 in taxes.
duty = 15%
GST = 10% x (shipping + product value + duty)

looks a bit like ings frontbar but on the civ.... i dont think its worth it, + all the costs that fueltank mentioned, maybe 2000aud in total? and you still gotta pay lik 1000 to paint and fit it :P.... and ur screwed if it doesnt fit properly hahaha....

i guess you could get a quote on how much it would be custom made here, or check out some local shops before you go buying from the states :D

just my 2c

itll cost you 1400 to post it as well, also you can get b/kits cheaper than that from the states.

try the US ebay and www.allbodykits.com

theres more but you just need to look around.

i dont really like the front bar either, but the side and back are nice

cwest do make urethane body kits, but not for a sedan :( im pretty limited with my choices. the only other kit for 2002 sedan that i've see is this one, and i like it even less than my original choice + its fiberglass
