....for an eclipse???
is it full body kit, rims, lowering kit, spoiler....what do you think is most needed for an eclipse to look best?
 
I dunno about everyone else, but I find it odd when people suggest "rims & a drop" as a nonperformance mod. For me, it's all about performance - since the rims (and associated tires) would be for roadholding & weight - and springs would be for center of gravity & handling....

(got springs already, but they didn't do much for me with my AGXs..... next comes the coilovers)

I mean, eliminating wheel-gap is nice, but its ultimately a side effect for me.

That is certainly true for some people, but I think when 99% of people are choosing rims, they base their purchase on looks first and foremost. The same goes for springs, most people care about how low it will be before considering how it will handle. It is all personal preference, I suppose...
 
most "non-performance" mods I would do would be things that would add somewhat to performance or effeciency in some way, for instance, if I added a side scoop(I wouldnt do that, but...) I would make sure that the scoop funelled air to cool the back brakes, so I would have to say wheels are the must-have "non-performance" mod(well, anything thats not just stupid like 20" wheels anyway)
 
Body kit, Wing, projection headlights, CF Altezzas (on a black car), hood scoop, side scoop, shaved all around, CF hood (with scoop), decals, lowered, rims, 0% tint,

SINCE YOU DIDN'T SPECIFY exterior or interior...
Custom yellow-black int., DVD/LCD in-dash player, 1 12 with about 2000w RMS, 2 1000w amps, roll cage, sparco seats, PS2&X-box, LCD's in visors,

Thats all i can think of for now....
AS YOU CAN SEE when i get my car i am going to be more "ricier than Mizundastood(sp?)
 
for a 1G...you need a spoiler...i've been lookin for one for mine, but i cant find one for the right price. :(
 
most 1gs come with spoilers....and I havent seen an aftermarket spoiler yet that looks good on one
 
LOL all of my thigsi posted i think would look good on a 1g or 2g...almost forgot, SCISSOR doors
