Hi guys,
I just finished tieing up loose ends with my engine build on my 96 eclipse so now i am ready to start making it look good so i can go to the fresh meet summer bash on july 15th. Its going to be huge! Almost 800 people are already signed up facebook for it. But back to the point. My body is completely shot so im going to repaint it gloss black. I have blue accents in my engine bay and want to incorporate that into the body. I have akita black with chrome outer wall rims. It is a 96 so its a 2ga. But i was thinking about going with a 2gb eclipse front bumper with fog lights. Can i get blue fog lights?? I also want the hoop wing aswell. Im also going to smoke out the back tail lights. Does anyone else have any suggestions on what i should do. I don't have anything set in stone yet so everything is appreciated. I originally wanted to go with a nissan 350z daytona blue for it but then the engine bay would still be black since i do not want to take it apart again. That is just no happening. Also im painting it myself and am on a tight budget thanks to the engine. Thanks for reading and sorry its so long.
 
I did the 2ga to 2gb conversion on mine with the 2gb high rise wing and side skirts. Be prepared to fill ALOT of holes from the low rise wing.

It wasnt hard to do it all just took some time finding the parts for a good price and getting it all buttoned up right. Also with the 2gb converion you will need new headlights and back up lights. other than that just alot of WD40 (rusted bolts) and time.I am glad this wasnt a "which body kit should I get" thread.

good luck dude!

Smoke out the back tails and paint the center body color... you can get blue tint for your fog lights, but I know in PA it's illegal. Only cars with red or blue lights are supposed to be emergency vehicles... and people get some pretty hefty fines if they decide to get ya for it.
