I vote for the first one - and i guess im just not up with my Uncle Bens Knowledge - how do those Stabilizer bars get mounted - I know I've seen em on before, but I forget...

ok, thats where i had seen them too, now it makes sense - but let me ask you guys this - what is the lip for and if you were to bump into anything with the lip would the stabilizer bars that are attached to the front clip not damage the front clip?

Question: Will the front lip for BuddyClub 2 Kit fit on the Kato Combat? And is our front-end wider than a Civic's, or about the same?

i think the 2nd one would fit the best. the first looks like the middle is A LOT smaller than the andy's kit.

I like the first one, where did you get the body kit on your car?

I agree that the first one would probably look better but your also right in wondering what they both would look like on your car. Good luck and give us some pics when its done. Also, just curious, what to the little metal bars do for the kit. I just don't know they're for. If anyone can explain this, please do. I am new to the body kit world I guess.

Hmmm... I guess I'm in the minority here. I like the second one better.

sorry but I have to ask, whats a diffuser and why does it have to be stabalized?

It goes on the front end of ur car. Its more for looks than anything else. But its function is to cut the wind flow under ur car. and help with the aerodynamics

the stabalizer bars help to distribute the forces that it puts on the front of your car, and also help to keep the diffuser on ur car, Just bolting it from undernieth, it would prolly rip off . and also the stabalizer bars are sometimes adjustable so that u canmake small angle changes on the diffuser

A "splitter" is designed to push air around the sides and in through the radiator of your car, instead of underneath your car. Air rushing underneath your car causes lift, so it's designed for racing, but on a street car where speeds are relatively low compared to racing, it's just for looks...
