Winter is coming, I wouldn't get either just yet. Wait til spring, But I'd buy the body kit now and wait til spring to paint it an install it. That way it won't be one big payment all at once. That way, in the spring all you have to do is pay for the painting and you'll have money leftover for rims.

I guess you're going for look then... I would say the wheels and tires, there'd be greater advantage there... plus you can get a kit from people on here for cheap, like the oz lip kits and other items.

Yeah, it all depends on what you're going for and where you live. I live up in Pittsburgh and I just received my body kit but I'm gonna wait til spring to paint it and install it. The winters up here are horrible and I can't have my kit or rims on in the months of November through Mid March. I've been in Florida before. Nice roads, nice weather. You don't have to worry about some problems we do. But I'm sure you have your own problems that we don't either (aka Francis, Ivan, Charlie)

wheels and tires make this look less like a honda and more like something faster than it is. the body kit is really common too....i see like the same 3 or 4 all over the site.

wheels and tires. wheels can make the car and a body kit is too extreme in most ppl's opinions. with some fatter tires and shorter sidewall youll also be able to handle better. and the wheels and tires will most likely cost less than the body kit and the cost to paint it.
