The shine auto project ( google shine auto GS and you'll see it) looks good, but again, it is a knockoff of the Junction Produce kit.

Version Select makes a couple of kits that are nice, for knockoffs.

Please don't buy a kit because it is cheap, and you want to modify your car to stand out, while you may stand out and think you are cool, sometimes people are just laughing at you, and not with you.

This isn't a Honda, and doesn't deserve to degradation of a cheap non specific body kit, that is an abomination in the first place.


I'm just sayin' there are alternatives to cheapness, that at least look halfway decent. AND, you will pay more for getting the kit to fit properly, since ViS isn't the greatest as far as kits, and you may end up paying more than buying a 'proper' fitting kit from a company with a better reputation.

But hey, you do what you want, be sure to post pictures when you are done, we love seeing build threads!
Thanks for you input,
I know its a cheap kit & I know it's no JP kit
but honestly I really don't like a lot of the kits
for the GS (my opinion/not fact)
anyways, I'm just going to get the Cyber 2 kit
& maybe later throughout my build I will change it

do whatever you like..its your car, your money..I personally think if your gonna ride low, don't get a kit.. lot of reps and non reps are fiberglass. just remember, you pay for what you get.

Hey there,

There is this company as well.....

I actually used to retail their kits when I had my shop. The quality is really good if you order the original. I don't know of any knock offs for this kit.

Anyways, here's the link. I personally don't like it that much but to each is own.

Good luck.

There is a sense of irony in the fact our cars are so cheap not that it's nothing more than the perception of being an expensive car nowdays. When I ordered Acura EL sideskirts for my last car (03 Civic) from Canada I paid more than some people pay for GS sideskirts here. While I agree that some kits look like ***, I will say that I'll never buy wheels or a body kit that's equal to half the value of my car. I'd be quicker to laugh at someone with a genuine body kit that cost more than half the value of the car.... but I'd say it looks cool before I laughed.
