Wide Body kits

[Matt-W]

does anyone know any sites that sell wide body kits for the 2g eclipse? i have searched and can only find the NX wide body kit but i would like to see some of the others and how much they are like the ones in the NFS underground 2. i really am most interested in the mantis kit but if you know of any places selling wide body kits for the 2g eclipse besides the NX kit please post them as i cannot seem to find any thanks in advance

99% of the kits in NFS:U are not real, and thank god too because 98% of them look AWFUL.

also try using the SEARCH feature to look these kind of topics up, they pop up every day it seems....

but to answer your ? on wide body available: import fan's TRD3000 kit (sucks due to having to use supra tails), quwhess or whatever the hell it is, which is by far the WORST widebody for 2gs, the NX kit, which desperately needs to be molded if you get it, the lines look terrible. and finally the karmanri kit, which is the best kit available, but still isnt that great of a kit. Personally, every widebody that can be bought for 2gs look terrible. the only way to go if you want to go widebody is custom IMO, or take the karmari and modify it a ton. no exsisting kit really flows with 2gs, the importfan and karmari arent that bad, however, with the importfan kit you have to use supra tail lights, which IMO sucks - we have eclipes not supras - and the supra tails is even more played out than s15 headlights.

there is my $.02, 99.9% of people that ask about widebodies arent even close to considering buying one or even have the money its going to take to buy the kit and than get it put on correctly and painted. remeber, the search is your friend.

very well put

The only wide body kits on 2gs that I have seen personally are the NX kit and the Kamari (sp?) kit and they both looked pretty crappy. If you do go with a wide body kit however make sure you do it right the first time and have a prefessional shop mold it.

Oh and by the way, if I were you I wouldn't mention body kits from NFSU2 cause Defiant might come in here and explode.

no car profile, probably no mods, could be no car, and probably thinks 2g is a really wide car to start with. tuner kid is right by saying ur not going to get a widebody, you are looking at minimum if you know the shop and selling and putting it on yourself and making it fit less than ok 4500, then u need to get it molded on, which shouldn;t cost u more than 1500 at a decent body shop, then with ur new 6000$ kit, spend another 6000$ on a good paintjob

just to clarify:

Its KAMINARI- www.kaminari.com

Quewhees is the other one that has been around for a while-duno who sells them now.

NX as you said.

TRD kit wich is the supra style. Maybe rebuildable though to get rid of the Supra wanna bee look.


These are the only ones I know of.Just keep in mind that a widebody kit has to be extremley well done to hold up on a car thats being used on the roads since they tend to crack after a while where you molded them in. Its not an easy thing to make it hold up for long if you dont know hwat you are doing. Just my O2....

like what was previously stated in the above posts.... IMPORT FAN makes the TRD supra wanna-be kit, so trying IMPORT FAN would be a great state. also kaminari kit, KAMINARI would be another smart decision on where to find it for sale... there is even a link.

heres another link you might want to check out sometime www.yahoo.com ...............

MACHV.COM has a wide body kit.

i like the Nx wide body due to the fenders being a direct bolt up, and I like how you are able to interchange the front bumper and rear bumper. But I am working on a 97 rs that wil have the gtp wide body with s15 headlights. Butthe rs is strickly for show. And being diffrent is what wins shows.
