I would start by getting rid of the APC sticker and those altezza tailights gotta go. But maybe that is your thing.

 

[92EclipseGS]

if you like the way those taillights light up at night you should either black them out or tint them red.

 

[bling5tatus]

In my opinion you should 86 those tail lights and go back to stock.

 

[crxp-o-s4now]

What do YOU personally not like about it? I'd say remove the APC sticker, maybe get a stubby antenna? Oh yea, buy a new rear wiper arm, or clean/paint the current one!

Other than that, looks good!

I personally don't like the taillights but everyone has their own style.

Return everything to stock, I can only imagine what your interior looks like.

APC is out of business or sold to someone else. Regardless, they are history!

+1 for stock

1. Remove the APC sticker
2. If you're gonna install 2GB headlights, at least finish the conversion (2GB bumper with a grillecraft kit and 2gb fogs should do the trick)
3. Lower the car
4. Nice wheels
5. Consider getting a spoiler; mainly a turbo wing (I hate the way RS's look without the wing)
6. Either replace those ricey tails with some stock ones or completely black them out with nightshades (like someone said above they will look good at night but at the same time hiding the rice).

I think apc had a lawsuit against them for not meeting d.o.t. standards or some crap. Obviously back to stock tails, paint the center section and remove the sticker for starters. That is actually a nice color if you sport it right.

 

[Talesin]

Remove and BURN those taillights, then start de-stickering.

 

[92dsmtalon]

I agree with losing the APC sticker, but as far as the tail lights go, as a whole, I dont think it looks good, but I think if you put a plate or something there in the middle section, like something that is the same color as the car would look good and keep the tails on each side, just at least lose the middle section of it. I also agree with getting the 2gb front bumper cover since you have to gaps between the headlights and your current bumper cover. And +1 on getting the GS-T wing too.

The wing will look goofy with his 2ga body.
Just by removing those goofy projector headlights, taillights and APC sticker will help a lot. Then come back and we will reevaluate you car. Take a 'baby steps' approach to this, you don't want to take huge steps to start out with, or else you might start regretting things.

I would put stock 2ga turbo body parts on. Even though it's not turbo, it will look cool.

I had that wing but it was not doing it for me. I do like the turbo wings. Maybe i might get one.

 

[EDM95]

Could some one photoshop the 2gb bumper on it?
Also could you photoshop the turbo wing?
Thanks

I think it looks weird... It's a real picture too, not a photochop.

I personally would convert it to 97-98 talon tsi style but that is only my opinion.

Question is, what would you think makes it look better? Dont ask us what looks good because we will only tell you what we like. You are the one that has to drive it. Make it yours however that may be.

 

[EDM95]

ok then how abot the 2gb bumper then?
I did want to do this before, maybe i will do it.

I think the 2ga Eclipse body has a beauty all to its own, and the same applies to the 2gb Eclipse body, 2ga and 2gb Talon. It is just how you put it all together.
Too many people don't give the 2ga body a chance. JuddsGSX comes to mind, beautiful 2ga. A guy at Buschur Racing (David's son?) has a beautiful 2ga GSX on Volks.
If you do things nicely, then almost anything will look good.

Me...I like the 2gb front end, the 2ga rear end, and the low wing. I think the front of that car looks good - minus the sticker -, but definitely gotta put a wing on the back and get rid of those altezzas for some stockers....love that copper color though.

I think he hit everything just right. I have a 95 GST that I originally didn't like too much. But it was a great price and I bought it. The mods I did was the 2gb front bumper, 2gb halo projectors, rims high-rise spoiler, and window tint. Thing is beautiful now. My recommedation on the rear lights is to keep the taillights there, but at least put the stock center piece in. I don't like the altezza look all the way across (personal opinion).

PS - You'd be amazed at how much better a car looks lowered w/ rims, if nothing else.

 

[quick93gsx]

another agreeing with removing the sticker and definitely blacking out the taillights

Personally I think some of the best looking dsms around are free of bodykits and close to stock. I like faster cars, but something like lowering it, maybe a carbon fiber hood and wheels and tires look great, at least on a 2g in my opinion. I will try and put some pictures up of my gst in the next day or so. Another suggestion I have would be to invest in HID headlights. I had them on my 96 talon and loved them.
