Ok there's my deal, I was looking online for different body kits. I have a 98' four door Cav. I need some kinda advice and maybe pictures of different body kits that would look good on a four door. It would help me out alot, I was looking at the Wing's West wide mouth body kit, but am not sure what it would look like on a old style four door. But if you have a body kitted car, possible four door, then please give me your advice and maybe some pictures. Thanks for your time Becca.
bigmouth wont fit. front is made for the 00-02 headlights and the skirts wont work on a 4 door
I would say go import fighter on your car or possibly if you want to do a headlight swap a Type J body kit would look nice. Theres quite a few pictures of 4dr kitted j-bodies on here, If i find the link Ill post it up for you.

Basically, if you think it'll look good, it will. As far as fitment goes, if you can work with fiberglass, you can make anything fit.
I put Drift side skirts on my '98 4 door, even though they're for a 2 door. I just cut off the back moulding and fiberglassed that portion back flat. As for bumpers, you really can't go wrong with any of 'em, I've got Buddy Club front and back. But if you find a front bumper for a '00-'02 you like, all you've got to do is fiberglass the missing portions under the headlights or, do like I did, fiberglass mesh in those holes.

i very much disagree, unless u purely mean personal preference.

Yeah, if you think it looks good, then what does it matter what anyone else thinks
Okay here's the deal i like the side skirts off of the wide mouth big mouth whatever it's called but not really the front and back, and I already know that we would have to change a whole lot of things to make it fit... But I want it to be something clean with out being to aggresive... I want something simple and clean, like the silver one above...
the bigmouth skirts will fit BUT the part that comes up onto the quarterpanel wont work with the 4 door since it would then be obstructing the door from opening.
i had the bigmouth kit last year. great kit, great fitment! but i wouldnt hack up an expensive kit like that to make it fit. you might wanna check out the RKSport Import Fighter skirts. thats the choice of alot of the 4 door guys. actually, you may wanna look into the entire IF kit. its built for your headlight style as well, so you would have a direct bolt on kit and its urethane which is a bonus!

i disagree with just about everything you just said. a lot of the bumpers made for our cars look like ass. there are only a couple that almost anyone can pull off.
also make sure your bumpers and skirts line up right. one of my biggest pet peeves is when people mix and match body pieces and the heights are different.
