HFP Body Kit for the Sedan...is it Coming?

[spdandpwr]

I know there is this talk about a refresh and so I'm wondering if the hfp kit will come for the sedans.

from collegehillshonda - and talking to honda reps at sema, he said there will be no HFP kit offered on the sedans. He said it was a management decision at honda based on low sales #'s on the sedan kit.

well, he did say 2012 civics... Maybe if enough people sign a petition to buy, they'd make it for 2013

are you saying that the 2013s will be a significant departure from the 12s?

read through this whole thread... there is no clear cut answer, but it seems that a refresh is coming early. Updates keep being posted there

man that sucks..hope Kplayground makes a decent kit...

Kplayground has released the front lip for the 12 si sedan, pricing is 249.99 +shipping, comes unpainted....so assume another 200 bucks to paint it and you're in a front lip almost 500 smackers.....is it worth it?

 

[mongoose221]

ridiculous price considering it's unpainted... combine that with the side skirts and rear valance?
you're talking 1500-2k for a body kit...

 

[brown_bear]

check out the pics in the lowered sedan thread...the fitment looks bad...im happy with my EZLip right now

 

[mongoose221]

holy christ man... that's awful...
it looks like it's "pointing up" (look at the side profile, the lip is like angled up on a 30 degree angle)... and he said the fitment sucks... i'd be LIVID if i bought that : (

 

[scootin'civic]

I don't think the guy in the lowered sedan thread has his installed right...? It looks better on the kplayground site

 

[mongoose221]

yeah, i can't tell

That price seems high but it is not crazy high. Honda was charging something like $1400 plus install for the HFP full kit for the 8th. CHH I think had it for around $800 for everything with no install.

 

[mongoose221]

yeah... so this is $1500-2k uninstalled... for a knockoff, OEM tends to be more expensive, so for me, it's definitely high, considering you can get OEM uninstalled for $800 for the OEM from CHH that's literally 2-3x the cost!!!

anyway, its a lot of cash b/c it's the only option at the moment, supply and demand
