NEW BODY KIT PROJECT for the 2nd Gen. Give your input!

[stock1g4g63]

So, any news/progress? Like I said, I'm still willing to be the guinea pig

No news or updates yet. We've really only had 1 person suggest kit styles.

Anyone have other suggestions? There were 25 people wanting a new kit for the 2nd gen when I posted the poll.

I say go with a smooth clean line. Something like a viper would be cool. I like the one on the RSX first posted. Put the scoops on both sides though, kinda like the srt-4's If you get the kit goin I'm in for a nose.

How many people would be interested in this kit if it was made for the 2g with an opening on both sides instead of just the driver side.

As long as it flows good with a set of blitz sides, I'm in.

What sides and rear would complete the look of this kit?

This kit with the buddy club 2 front and different door moldings or no door molding and mesh in the rear somehow.

 

[sbeclipse]

Buddy club 2 is patented I believe and we only want to do a 4-piece kit, not a widebody.

I actually think having the vent/opening on both sides would kinda be too much, the kit would look too busy in my opinion... You can keep it on that side for the N/A guys, I guess I can just kind of "route" it, no biggie.

if you double vented it, it would kinda look like the new EVO front grill

<~ not gonna hit it.


im paying full price of all exspensive 675 for a buddy club2, that way i wont have to pay an extra 300 or whatever of custom work that comes with a lesser quality kit.

So what do you guys think. Are there 11+ people interested in purchasing the following kit for the 2nd Gen? What sides and rear would you like?

The guinea pig gives a thumbs up for the go

 

[chriw21_2000]

I will be using blitz sides and buddy club rear. I want the nose. Something other than the normal blitz! Prob go with something similar to the rsx.

Here is the only kit we need made for a 2G.

We need an OEM front bumper but flare the side scoops out a little bit, also add to the center opening for the FMIC and take that little lip away that sits under the mitsu symbol. Also, an RMDSM lip should be built in and shave the mitsu symbol. I will make a photoshop then post. I also think we could integrate the "scoop" like from the top secret rsx. It would add style and function. I am doing a photoshop on this picture as we speak:

Ok here are two chops I did. I think i could design a really good looking front bumper for our 2G's just give me some ideas.

BoostedGSX, you are the MAN!!! That Evo8/OEM 2g front you made looks AWESOME! If they made that I'd buy it! I just want a subtle front bumper that will flow and work with the rest of the OEM bumpers on my car and the bumper BoostedGSX made would do the job!!! I'm drooling now!
The RSX bumper looks ok, but I like the Evo8/OEM 2g front that Boosted made! Way to go!

 

[bOOstd GSX]

Thanks bro!

It was a pretty quick chop. I think the main thing we need to focus on are the scoop next to the fog lights and making them a little bigger, it will make the whole front bumper look way more aggressive IMO. Either way itll look good.

What about a cheaper version of the Veilside kit for the 2g?

 

[sbeclipse]

Are there any replicas of the Veilside kit made yet?

 

[sbeclipse]

We might be able to do that chop that you did, but it some significant modification, and not sure if manufacturing would approve the extra prototyping, unless there was a large number of pre-orders.

 

[stock1g4g63]

Is there a way they could do the "stillen" front end without the blitz like sides? I like how it extends a little further out than the stock front end and give the car a sleeker look... but no matter what we do, can I still be the guinea pig?

Ok here are two chops I did. I think i could design a really good looking front bumper for our 2G's just give me some ideas.

That would look pretty sick

 

[Flash]

No one makes a replica of the Veilside front for the Eclipse. I just want a front that will flow with the rest of the OEM body.

 

[bOOstd GSX]

Exactly. 99% of us don't want some huge ricey front bumper, we need something that actually looks good on our cars without sacrificing that clean OEM look. I even think a whole evo bumper would look pretty cool on our cars. Let me whip something up real quick.
