pics of my new kit and suggestions..

[drifted_eclipse]

I payed 450 for my drift front, drift sides, and blitz rear. Got it from a local place, and it fit perfect. The drift kit is the best lookin kit for the 2g imo.

most car shops want anything between 1200-2000 to paint and fit. i was going to take my car to Custom Airwerks, theyve put a few cars in some ags and are real local to me. they were going got give me a deal since i was young, and they wanted 1000. which still, isnt a lot. my kit is a VIS. VIS is a good company - yes they used to not be so hot, but theyve reallyed changed around the last 3-4 years. - and i know that they back their products up, and there fiberglass work is pretty damn good. UNLIKE those ebay kits that sell for like 399. those things are AWFUL, cheap thin laid fiberglass, it will crack and break so much easier, it will not fit etc etc etc.

when doing body mods, PLEASE PLEASE dont half ass it, i hate that more then anything.

Other than VIS, who else makes good kits? GTP?

I guess I'm kinda spoiled, my friend won best paint at Nopi a few years back and he and his paint shop are sponsored by House of Colors. I can get my entire car sprayed /w nice paint for $500 ;p

and now for some suggestions.. im really looking to keep the red/black theme going on... i plan on getting a VIS cf hood soon, but anything else to help completement the black on the outside of the car? im kinda tempted to get cf tails but i refuse to lower my "clean rice" standards but i dont know.. they would look decent on my car.. please help me keep my car going in the right direction.


Okay if I were you, i'd get the carbon hood, lower it then you are finished. I think if you get any more black going, you're going to start looking ricey. By all means do not waste money on those "carbon" tail lights. Maybe get the carbon rm lip, and if you still want more black, get a black emblem for the back. I think the black wing would be a bit too much. But its up to you, just a suggestion. So far so good.

taillight suggestion: Instead of buying the carbon fiber set, get a clear set and paint the inside housings black. That way, they will match your headlights. Just my $.02. That's a pretty clean looking kit too

Yeah, you got it. Paint the insides black. Don't have a pic of them completed, but on the pic below, just paint the chrome/silver backing. It will be a clean look, IMO.
