Your entitled to your opinion, But i have never heard anything negative about my car in person, Always complements.

I was into the bodykit thing at one time. It's really a matter of opinion. I say express yourself. Now-a-days, i like to keep it simple and clean. But i have had the urge for the bodykit back in the gap. Check the classifieds. You'll see (X P/m me if you need one.

Like you need any help grabbing attention. I get followed by the cops at least once a week with my stock body GSX. Something about the dark red and high rise spoiler gets them. I drive normal majority of the time like your mother would and I still get followed.

I was sitting at a stop sign a few weeks ago in my little town and a cop passed me. I saw him cut down a side street after he gave me a distinctive stare as he passed. So me being smarter than his dumbass parked in some random persons driveway and shut the car off. He sat at the bottom of the hill looking up at me for a minute then decided to leave.

Just stay stock and stop trying to make your car look like the batmobile. Not many cars can look this good with a stock kit.

BTW that deep red wide bodied one if F'ing hot. I make an exception for that sexy beast.

body kits look nice on some cars. but i dont think they look good on dsm. I used to like body kits i never had one but wanted one but i didnt want one after my friend got one and what happend to it. The front bumper got alot of rock chips and cracks and after awhile it looked like ass, the side skirt was all busted up and like cracked and same for the rear bumper and on top of that they are expensive and even more when you gotta get it painted and not worth the money. 99% of the time they dont fit right and you got to mod it.

I like to keep it clean and stock look just with some nice wheels and lowering kit and with a nice paint job. I get my car buffed every 6 months and wax it every week and turns heads and it doesnt have a body kit and it does get the girls to look cause its soo shiny.

[Colt4G63 also]

You need to do this with it.

You'll need a club to beat the trashy whores off the nerf bars.

[crimsonGST]

dude.
WHAT IS THAT.
It's like frankenstein meets DSM.

[Colt4G63 also]

That's the Trailaser body package. Plymouth Trailblazer meets Plymouth Laser. It's for sale.

[Captainredeyez]

Omg!

The goal for my car is to turn heads and be a little different.

But IMO you need the go to be able to shut people up when they start calling you rice

That's the thing about my car that I love. There's so many POS around here that have mismatched fenders/bumpers that aren't anything but fart cans, it's become commonplace to associate bodykits with "All show and no go." I love when some jerk thinks that his pricey 3 series BMW is quicker then my car because it's "riced out", only to get a good look of the expression on his face in my rearview. In all honesty though, I was into the bodykit thing a while back and still am very partial to cars that have their body's done right. If I hadn't bought a car that didn't already have the kit on it, I would still want one, but just wouldn't ever find the time or money to have it put on because there's lots of other stuff I'd rather spend my money on. Regardless, I still think that my Fast N' Furious sides and rear look BADASS with the OEM 2gb bumper and get complimented on it all the time.

To the kid with the 19 inch ADR's. Be carfeul with ADR's. They do have good prices and very attractive styling they just arent the best wheel ever created. Me and a few friends have all owned them and they are proned to cracking and I am one to swerve all over the road to miss potholes and such.

[sleeping95gsx]

first dsm..PAIN IN THE A$$!! bodykits, and fiber glass is bad news bears. crackinig and breaking, chipping, expanding and contracting..no fun. Now i have a complete stock body style 95 eclipse gsx with a 98 front bumper conversion and 97-99 high rise spoiler..stick with the stock

[Bubbs Malone]

I'm pretty happy with the stock side skirts I put on, but really love the drift kit if your looking for ideas.

FTW

[crimsonGST]

Stay with a stock body, whether it be talon or eclipse. BUT if you MUST put a bodykit, spend the money once and get a urethane kit...

[z24frank]

Well your topic says body kit or not!So I say not.I do say lower and then see how you like it.These cars really do get a new look when lowered.Next I also agree with spendind that money on some performance parts.I really like the look of a huge front mount on our cars!

[95gstchris]

In my opinion eclipses look great either way stock or not. And if you have the funds and time go for it. All this crap about being a cop magnet cops pull over any car any day so enjoy your ride bro keep us updated with it

[Captainredeyez]

Stay Stock!!!!!

[jimmy8642]

If you're planning on putting power down in a DSM with a performance exhaust, cops are going to notice that more than the body kit. I say yes to a body kit only if you put alot of thought into doing it right. The look that you want, along with how it flows with your cars rims, hood, exhaust, ect. Make sure you think about how low the kit is going to drop the front and back of the car, and keep in mind the suspension you will be running. It would suck to put all that money and effort into a car and not be able to drive into your own driveway or a gas station.

there is only one body kit that looks really nice on a 2g dsm

Are you serious?

[z24frank]

That was way to much for my liking.

Dude. that is a monstrosity. Just stay stock kid. Lower it. You'll be satisfied.

[rock1t]

Agree with everyone else, no body kit. Lower it, put a big sway bar on the rear, some strut bars and go take some corners. Then when you have some extra cash(like the stuff you want to spend on the body kit) order some coil overs and a urethane bushing kit. Trust us.

lol Neaaah i was just kidding lol ))))

The best way how the 2g looks is:

Lowered
18's rims
small lip on a front bumper
CF hood
and a nice big FMIC
Can't beat that..........

[manny correa]

body kits are rice...not to say 99% of the time they aint even mounted right, or colored matched...atleast around here.. ricey kit ftl

[justnobody]

body kits are a waste of money, economy sucks, save your money, your gonna need it.

God I hate when people say this! I'm curious what you people call it when the new Shelby Mustang GT's and Cobra's roll by with their enlarged front air dam's and aggressive bodylines... "Ugh, that's so Wheaty! "

I agree that triple stack rear wings with neon green or baby blue paintjobs are ricey, but bodykits?? I agree that some kits are absolutely hideous and still others that are not bad looking can be completely ruined when not put together the right way, but to generalize that "bodykits are rice." What's next, drifting suddenly becoming too ricey for people to watch? After all, it doesn't even matter which one of them goes across the finish line first... how ricey is that. Or, Carbon Fiber hoods suddenly becoming too ricey.

[Maurice_RS-T]

I agree, and where I'm at, I guess that every modified car here is "rice" even though most of them have 500+ hp. Here the drag and drift scene is pretty big, and I'd have to say that about 98% of the race cars have body kits. It kills me when people generalize like that. So my friends 900whp supra with a wide body kit is rice, or his 650awp widebody evo is rice. I could go on forever. If its cleen and not hidious, how is it rice? I have a body kit (that I designed) and I've gotten nothing but complements on it in person, but I come online on these US based forums and all of a sudden its rice...

[z24frank]

I think we were talking about here state side,and most of the time here people dont do it right and it looks really bad.I also agree that there isnt really a nice kit for our cars and that our cars actually look really good stock body lines just lowered.

[Maurice_RS-T]

I agree that stock eclipse 2gbs do look very good, but I have also seen a few body kits on eclipses that look good too. I was just saying that when people say that bodykits = rice, it is very ignorant.
