Most of us frown upon flashy body kits here..Because most of them are n/t, just like yours..Just like your thinking of doing...I would suggest against it but it's you car, so do what makes you happy..

You have a 2gb, and thats a sexy ass stock body..

I would stay to keep it stock/factory. Make is look like a GSX; 2gb front and rear bumper, turbo spoiler, painted 2gb side skirts, and painted door handels. If you really don't like that look; convert it to a 2gb Talon. Much cooler looking!

*Also, you might wana' check the way you type your threads. Use propper grammar and punctuation and such. It's easier to read and....it's the rules!*

Do what you want, if you like the kit go for it. Most hate anything not stock. If the kit is done right it can look good.

On my 98 GS-T I have a Kombat style rear bumper & 2ga side skirt's with a 2gb front bumper & it look's good to me.

If you want people to be like wow, buy a turbo model and build it and keep it clean

I just bought a full invader kit for my 99 gs build for 200 off craigslist I suggest checking there first. I also have 95 gst im building but im building it as a sleeper I have an extra rusted hood and primer fenders to put on it for some fun untill I can paint it. Anyways I like invader kit ill post pics when im done

The right body kit can somethimes look nice. But to me body kits make cars look fast and furious . But I will never dog a car that the owner loves. Only but holes will do that ;-)

In my honest opinion, body kits are a pretty large waste of money. You will have sunk close to $2000 into it by the time it is purchased, fitted, painted, and installed. And most of the time they just end up cracked or broked from scraping them on the ground. I can think of a million better things to spend $2000 on. Just my .02.

If you do it right it will look good. I had the buddy club 2 bumper on my eclipse for a little while stat an inch off the ground (stock springs and shocks). So go for full polyurethane. Its what they use to make stock bumper out of will not crack at first pot hole. It takes a certain kinda of paint any good body shop should know what to do. All and all I like body kits seen a lot of people pull them off have seen many more people mess them up. The buddy club 2 body kit is what I think looks nice along with the invader just please do not get the one with the huge fog light holes.

Don't put a body kit on. Do it if you really really want, but be prepared to have people call you a ricer or constantly ask you what mods you have, and if you are stock you'll look kind of silly.

My personal opinion, convert to a 2gb Talon. You won't regret it.

Is it worth it?........no

They are crazy expensive to do the RIGHT way, you would have to get a good quality kit, plus like stated get it fitted and painted. All that just for it to crack like they all do. If you wanna do it thats cool but were all trying to help you not waste your money.

Keep in mind most people go through the bodykit/ricer phase and ten we end up rebuying stock etc.

good luck with whatever you decide to do though.

Get a lip, you can never go wrong with them on a 2g

I have no issue with body kits at all, as long as its done right, the way i look at it is its your car do what you want to it, if you like it who cares, there is always gonna be haters of something someone does to there car, no matter what it is.... i say go for it man

 

[4Lurker4]

If it's something you want to take as a challenge, I say go for it. Just make sure to take the time to do it right. Also, don't get one in fiberglass, it'll chip too easily. In the end of it, it's your car, so make it your own.

IMO keep the stock side skirts and rear bumper, nothing aftermarket looks good for that. for the front bumper I recommend the b2 bumper

This one is available from extreme dimensions. I think they are trying to get a group buy going. See this thread

just dont forget this one will cost 2-3x as much as the b2. which is about $200 shipped

but I just got a standard 2gb from certi-fit for $39. Going to cut out the center section and get a lip and still cost less then the new one.
