Im an owner of an ej8 (civic coupe)
i have a kit on it.
but got front skirt removed and replaced with OEM.

im thinking, remove the whole kit and put originals back on and lower the car to about 13cm off the ground?(currently 10cm, with skirts)

what do you think?
or should i just lip the front bumper.

with coupes you can go either way though... because they're quite rare, even kitted up would be a novelty. as long as the kit isnt too flamboyant and doesnt mess around too much with the cohesiveness of the cars original lines, then yes, get a kit.

but personally, OEMFTMFW... lip all around w/o spoiler

im in the same boat as you. i have an em1. rear lip, front lip, buddyclub side skirts. was thinking of going all lip kit and take off my side skirts so i can lower more. but i dont like how the em/ej curve in on the side where the door is. if you get wat i mean. thats y i put side skirts to straighten it up.
but as rivergod said they look nice both ways. depends on how you do it up.
