Sorry guys, I just can't find this anywhere else on the site.

When I got my car, it had an aftermarket body kit on it (Atleast the front end. I think the back is stock and the sides maybe) but underneath there's nothing. It seems so flimsy. Should there be some sort of cover on the bottom? Right now it just basically hangs off the front. It seems mounted well enough, but I'm worried the smallest thing I drive over will just tear right off

It must be a duraflex bumper. Is that your car in your avatar? It doesnt look like it has a body kit.

Really? I've been told it was a body kit, especially because that intercooler is fake (I didn't put it on) so I figured a GS wouldn't have an opening like that.

Also Black Widow, thank you for all the help. I've seen you in a lot of my threads and really appreciate all the advice
 
yeah, well when the car is stock it has underbody splash-guards and either time destroys them or people remove them because when they swap a bumpercover they think its a pain to put all those clips, grommets that either broke or got damaged so they leave it off, then it will end up like yours, mine and almost everybody with a DSM. under body splashguardless, also the front bumper has a "structural brace" around the inner edge to prevent sagging from the lower center like this: 97 99 Eclipse Talon Front Bumper Lower Support - eBay (item 360266692014 end time Jan-22-11 06:23:56 PST)
 
No man that is a stock 2gb eclipse bumper, lose the "interfooler" (good stuff) and keep it looking that way. everything looks stock to me except that fake cooler. looks kind of clean though, get you some marker lights for it to make it look better.
