Body Kit or Headers
Was thinking about either headers or the body kit as my next mod. Can't afford both right now. Which mod would you guys chose?

now this just depends on what you want more at the moment. Do you want to exhance the exterior look? or are you craving for speed.

body kit - thats something you can see and appreciate every day. But how often are you really in vtec range? maybe a few seconds a day?

The headers are definitely not a good value imo, unless you race.

I just had the OEM body kit installed today on my 2003 TypeS. I am very pleased with the change in looks it provided!

headers.....it is not very common for one mod to give close to 30 hp at the wheels. might as well take advantage of it.

HEADERS R the SH!ttttt. Body kit doen't do nothing except for looks. Headers will help u in freeways and quick speed. IMO

Go for the KIT! The headers are nice but for the price, not worth it IMO. I just added the kit and it was the best investment made thus far.

Question
If performance was your main concern why didnt you wait and buy the hi perf. S type. It will take headers etc. to keep up with a base TYPE-S.
