now i got my turbo what do you think i should do next..? i was either going to get a body kit and do a headlight/tail light conversion (S15/S2000) but i think the stock body looks realy nice... i just molded in the holes where my stock wing was and i need to paint the car... i was thinking about repainting the car red because i dont want to go back in and do the interior another color. so either

-repaint the car red with all the factory trim.. with some rims

-body kit the car with some rims

-conversion and go all out...

but i lack seeing the point in going all out when i gutted my car for weight reduction... i regret it now but when i did it i wasnt all in the state of mind...haha :shhh:
 
First of all congrats on getting a turbo for your RS eclipse. IMO I don't think you should go all out with a conversion. The other two is up to you since if you like the stock bodylines then just get rims, a new paintjob, and lower it and you'll be set. Or do the same but with a new bodykit. I like some bodykits but I also like stock with a cf lip, rims, lowered, and if you want to save more weight get rid of that 50lb hood we got on our cars. I think conversions are ok on show cars but you have a turbo to show up for your looks now as well but you are not an s15 or a damn honda. I think you should not do a conversion, and plus those s15 headlights alone are $500 to about $1500 maybe more if wanted. That is also something to think about, that is if you have a good bodyshop that can fit it well with the stock bodylines, and you have enough cash along with it. Whatever you do man, do from your choice that is the best thing. Who cares what everyone else thinks. .02
 
it depends what you want to do with it. if you want to take it to some shows, converstions dont correctly are something many people will notice. however, if you just want a nice looking daily driven car, just get a clean looking bodykit. OR you could get that importfan widebody with the supra tail converstion if you want to go with that route, that kit is SICK i love it, i just wish it had cutouts for STOCK eclipse tails. but ow ell :thumb:
 
i bought a new front bumper for 50$ and a set of factory side skirts... and iam going stock....
