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

[ILLiCliPSE]

who's car are they gonna use ???

aw crap . im guessing that means that you cant do it. They didnt really say anything about needing a doner car to use, so I guess they can find one?

About the rear design, the vertical pieces were meant to be slanted like the one near the exhaust so they would match. I guess resizing the picture messed that up. Ill get an estimated price from ERacings ASAP for you guys

 

[CPHunter]

hey i want some Credit for the Project!!!! if it wasn't for me this might have never been started! if you start getting a % for kits sold then i want in too.... ,anywhom, lets see what happens,from the Altima Kit that i bought from the,each piece was like 500 bucks,except the skirts they where 400,so piece by piece let say 1600 bucks,and for a whole kit look for 1200

 

[J-Syght]

Any new updates?

 

[shpyder]

Any chance that the kit will be made of urethane? Or any other material that allows decent flex? That white body kit is excellent. The idea should be to work with the already beautiful lines of the 2G body, instead of the generic slapping on of a mass produced design. Thats why I usually just like lip add-ons, but that kit is nice. Light rounding off of the sharp edges would be better imo, but its a winner nevertheless.

Go back a couple Pages,its all there

 

[J-Syght]

Any updates yet ILLeclipse?

 

[ILLiCliPSE]

Yes...
I have talked to ERacings. All they need is pre-orders so its now up to you guys to make this happen . whoever wants a kit, PM me telling me so and Ill email ERacings the list. Lets try and get as many people as possible obviously . You guys can also email ERacings (contact on eracings.com) and ask them the price of each part or the full kit.
Just one more thing, is I gotta get paid for this since I designed the whole kit ...So once that is worked out, the kits will be on production

Cya,
Brian

hey brian do you think you could create a simple kit design for 1g's? i want to put a lip or kit on my car but there are only three or so kits that hang to low for the hills out here....can you come up with anything?

i agree, the kit on the white eclipse on the previous page is sexy. i wouldn't mind slapping that kit on my car... and i'm not a fan of body kits at all!

If you give the prices for individual. You can count me in on the front bump if the price is right.

 

[ILLiCliPSE]

OK sounds good. Ill get a price for each part separately. As for a 1g bumper, I could sketch/ design something for that too. 1ga or 1gb??? just makin sure so i can design the right thing...maybe ill come up with something subtle, yet different

 

[eclipsh]

1GA They have so few decent body kits and the few good ones hang so low you can't hit a speed bump without destroying them.

This is a message, not just to you Ill, but to all the other "designers" on tuners. Maybe there's some way we could all get together and create our own body kit company. I've tried before with a few other people, but nothing fell through. PM me. If you look through my previous designs (which have mostly been modifications of previous kits or grafting several other cars together), both of us have gotten positive responses, but nothing has ever been actually made. I'm looking to put a stop to that, and actually get all the DSM'ers ideas togther to that we can finally have some decent kits for dsm's.

Here is a sketch that a guy did on a Canadian board for a GT2 race car look for the 2G

This thing is crazy! I would definitely drive it. It's like the Super Shredder Eclipse. I love it! Mad props to the guy who drew this sketch.

 

[2bar4g63t]

wow, you guys are some talented artists.

well i have a 1gb but if you think about it anything for the 1ga is a 1gb kit modified....so i guess its up to you.

 

[eclipsh]

Does anyone have a 3D computer model of the 1G or 2G eclipse? I started working on a design for a 1ga widebody kit and it'd help a lot.

 

[CPHunter]

i think History i gonna repeat it self......this body kit is gonna be just like the Altima body kit they made,everyone and there mom has it now and its has been out for less then a year

 

[J-Syght]

Hey ILLiCliPSE I email Eracing about 5 days ago about the prices of the bodykit. I haven't heard back from them once.

Hey J-Syght

Dont worry about ERacings at the moment. Im sure theyre just busy. Ive talked to them, and all we need is preorders. I think he told me the entire kit would be 1000-something bucks. Hopefully thats not too hefty for some people. Im not sure about that price, and its not a final price, so dont lose your interest in it. Ill get another estimated price but on each part and post it up ASAP. Ill post the design on other DSM forums. Anyone recomend DSM sites that I can post the design on???

for 1000.00 it better be made good. I'm not going to pay that much for a kit. I only paid 1500 for my Wide body. Plus its not like this kit is a redesign

almost the same kit the only thing is the fog light holes are shaved I could do that in a days time. we need to come up with a kit like the GT2 or

I don't no maybe I just wanna see a kit that you don't see on Eclipse and something thats not all ready done on a Eclipse. If it was something like that I would pay the money but if its a kit that really just a small change from a Kit that already made for a Eclipse forget it. I also like to see a Bomex / stock front bumper design

 

[stock1g4g63]

Something a friend and I are working on together, even though this bumer was scrapped WAY before Ill even came up with his and we are now using a different design, I thought the similarities were interesting. By the way, this is a spare car, not mine. Mine = 2GB baby!

You can follow the progress on an the kitcar forum (if you aren't already, I'm sure a few of you are)/

 

[SlowdsmGST]

Not to be rude but that is ugly.

 

[stock1g4g63]

Not to be rude but that is ugly.

which is why it was scrapped


don't worry, I whole heartedly agree. That front is hideous. But like I said, that's not my car. I'm not anti body kit or anything (in fact I like body kits a lot, and love designing and redering ideas), but I've yet to find something that I would put on my car, and looks better than the stock 2Gb body.
