FAQ
What is the Liberty Walk LB-Nation Honda Civic Type R widebody kit? The Liberty Walk LB-Nation Honda Civic Type R widebody kit is a bolt-on over-fender package designed to dramatically widen the stance of the Honda Civic Type R. Produced by Liberty Walk, the Nagoya-based tuning company founded by Wataru Kato, the LB-Nation kit brings the brand’s signature wide-body aesthetic to the Civic Type R without requiring permanent modification to the factory body.
Does the LB-Nation widebody kit fit both the FK8 and FL5 Civic Type R? The Honda Civic Type R went through a full generation change between the FK8 (2017-2021) and the FL5 (2023-present), and the two cars have distinct body dimensions. Buyers should confirm which generation their car is before ordering. Contact Bulletproof Automotive directly to verify fitment for your specific model year.
What is the difference between LB-Works and LB-Nation kits? LB-Works kits are Liberty Walk’s flagship line and typically involve more extensive modifications, including cutting the factory fenders to achieve maximum width.

For Civic Type R owners who want the Liberty Walk look while preserving the underlying car, the LB-Nation line is the appropriate choice.
What material is the LB-Nation Civic Type R widebody kit made from? The LB-Nation Honda Civic Type R widebody kit is constructed from FRP, or fiberglass reinforced plastic.

Does the Liberty Walk LB-Nation kit require professional installation? While the LB-Nation kit is designed as a bolt-on system that avoids permanent body modification, professional installation is strongly recommended.
