Help with Eclipse Body Kits

[cranshinibon]

Alright so i finally found the car i'm buying. im picking it up from a friend at the end of summer. its a 1997 Mitsubishi Eclipse 5 spd. It's in great condition but needs some tlc. now here is what im wondering. what is a nice simple body kit to put on the car to make it look sexy but not ricer. i can't really find any good brands bc the only one i know is veilside but theyre extremely pricey. can someone help me out with the different companies that make nice eclipse body kits?

Make a replica of the Eclipse from the Fast and the Furious.

eh that body kits a little overdone. i see so many around here with it. plus that wing is so unbelievably ricer haha. i like the body kit but i want something a little simpler.

[xEJ20x]

I didn't say use the same wing and paint scheme.
Just the kit.

ah ok lol do you know what the body kit brand is? i see it on mod pages but they don't show me which brand or model it is.

First off the veilside eclipse kit is super ugly. Why not leave the stock body? and if you really want a kit the Drift, or the buddy club 2 are alright, prob what you are looking for.

Keep it stock. Theres no body kit that flows nicley with the 95-99. Any kit you put on is going to be ricer. Buy a nice suspension and wheels instead.

I have to agree. I've seen body kits on cars that look really good, but I've never seen one on an Eclipse that I like. Buy a nice set of wheels, a front lip, tinted windows, and suspension and it'll look awesome.

i agree with keepin it stock.....just get a lip.....body kits are garbage for the most part....i had a real bomex kit, paid out the ass for it and it cracked so easily.....went back to stock with a front lip and it looked waaay better

i checked out some websites searching up the drift body kit and found this. it really isn't too complex but it someone elses' eyes who has an eclipse or knows a bunch about them, does it look ricer?

I really like that kit actually, who makes it and what is it? They have any other ones like that

yeah it's not too overdone. its called the zen

Manufacturer(s): VFiber, Extreme Dimensions, VIS Racing

not sure if they make any others but the bodykitz site has a lot of different styles (most of them rice) but some still quite close to stock

thats the buddy club 2 as i said, but that paint job sucks a**! looking at that pic really makes me change my mine. You cant get a better kit then the 2GB with some nice wheels and a small drop.

[BlackBulletTSi]

I like my stock 2GB front bumper on my talon but I also like a little something more just to try and be a little diff.

[turbo4g63]

i like the 2gb front bumper with a chin spoiler from www.machv.com i actually bought it, then my stock turbo blew and i needed a few extra bucks so i returned it

[cranshinibon]

i enjoy the front of the eclipse as much as anyone but i think the zen bodykit is simple enough but adds some nice showiness to it. though im not a huge fan of the hood. eh maybe everything on it but the hood is cool looking.

whatever you do dont buy a fiberglass kit make sure its urethane...youll thank me when you meet your first speed bump/curb
