[Sephroth57]

looks like someone went around the car with a torch heating up the plastic then bending it in random directions

 

[fawkes]

so u dont like it? i like the opening for the intercooler i dont have to use the sides but i think it makes it pretty

 

[cait sith]

Hahaha. It's like it's 1998 all over again.

 

[fawkes]

no see my front clip was wasted before i got the car so i wanted to spice it up a lil is all why replace it with stock

 

[Ghost1984]

I dont really know why people put body kits on 2g's, their beautiful cars stock, IMHO i think you should just leave the body stock.....thats my $.02

 

[fawkes]

like i said i have no front clip on it right now

I agree. As soon as I see one of those kits on an Eclipse I turn my head because they look so damn ugly.

Please god, don't let him disgrace his car and the rest of us by association with putting that "thing" on his car.

Seriously, it looks like it's going to eat you. If you want something a little spicy try a 97 Talon bumper. They are aggressive and look good and you won't even have to change your headlights. Also there are many kits out there that don't look like complete ass like that one.

i dont think it looks to bad, it could be worse. i guess thats just the ricer in me. but hey if you wanna get it, go for it

 

[gsxeclipseguy]

Get a 97-99 (2gb) bumber and a lip for it, i forget the name of it but they sell one at machv.com

OOOORR if you could keep your headlights and put on a Talon 2gb bumper 'cause those are sexay

and finally you could also put on a 2ga Eclipse bumper with the Tsunami softline lip if you want some extra flare

The choice is yours though, not our car so do with it what you would like.

@ 1998 comment.

I like body kits, just not that one.

The front is outrageous. If you want a kit, go more subtle like a stillen front and invader sides. That spoiler however does look good with a body kit. One good thing that car has going for it is it is clean and there's no ugly vinyl, decals, etc. Whatever you do, keep it clean and stay away from Euros.

I actually have that Kit (well the spoilers etc version of it)

And I love it. I actually aquired that kit piece by piece in payment for doing work on other people cars.


I absolutely love the front end on my car. (except that I had to raise my car up a bit cause my driveway is to step)

I have the Blitz Low Side skirts now - (just put them on over the weekend) But usued to run Stock painted 95/96 style sideskirts all last year (ie: painted to get ride of the grey underside)


I have the Spoiler etc rear bumper - and have mixed emotions about that rear. At certain angles it looks great, but at others I think it looks ugly.

If you just wanted the front. I'd say get the Front, Paint the sideskirts sold (unless you are 97-99 in which it's already done for you), and then just keep the stock 97-99 style Rear.

I never got around to having my 99 style rear installed when I ran the stock side skirts but I always thought it would have looked awesome.

I have more picts of my car at www.xratedcc.com look in the picture gallery for Brian Barton (aka: SlowWhite)

i think its amazing that people havent realized anytihng can look good if done right. The green car, ugly as hell. brnoutking's car looks good with it. People put kits on their cars to stand out, thats one reason to not leave it stock.

 

[fawkes]

im with u brian i am gonna get it to everyone else thanx for the input. my car will be all solid black with maybe a pheonix over the driver fender in like a light clear air brush

 

[sherloc123]

97-99 bumper with lip spoiler. all you need. its got a huge opening for a fmic. keep it clean and simple

 

[fawkes]

well i dont know if i am gonna do nething to the rear of the car. maybe do a swap to an eclipse rear end but if not its stayn stockno diffrent tails or nuttn. i really like that front i am not to sure on the sides

 

[KlipzSpyderGST]

I knew a kid that moved away from here recently that had Just the sides and rear. It looked good with the 97-99 Front end.

BrnOutKing knows him I believe.

 

[BrnOutKing]

I was just looking for pictures of his car.


His name is Tom, He still lives here but is now going to school out in ILL.

 

[prostreetdsmx1]

i think that body kit makes baby jesus cry.

 

[Phat95Talon]

I really wish all these people that post in every single "Do you like this kit?" thread would stop saying KEEP IT STOCK! We get it....you don't want a kit on YOUR car...gheez..

Now for my opinion on this kit....I had it. I did not like that front and how it looked with the car but I still have the side skirts and love them!

 

[sherloc123]

he asked if we liked it, we gave our opinions,and gave him other options. whats wrong with that?
