Bodykit choices....

EuroGSTSpyder · Aug 30, 2003

I am soooo knot knowing what I will do now*lol* I need a bodykit to make my car ready for the shows here next summer and I will put fresh new paintjob on the car as well.Now my dilemma is that I have narrowed it down to some kits that I actually like and might put on and I know this Q is gonna get thousand answers but still..On my spyder..with new paintjob what would be best:

1.1997+ Kaminari front w. rudora skirts and rear+ kaminari KTR wing?

2. Complete BuddyClub kit + Kaminari KTR wing?

'
3. Drift front, Blitz low skirts,Buddyclub rear and Kaminari KTR wing?
Have no pic.

I will have the Kaminari KTR wing anyways as you see casue its theonly one i like on a Spyder....but for the rest...I am leaning towards the no1 or no2 option....
Dont say -stay stock- cuase I cannot do that since I am out for shows and some other plp here with Eclipses ha strated to build up on stock cars..I need more but still dont wanna put on a gross kit like WW or similar...need one that still pretty smooth but different.....
options?
So..let the flaming begin!!! *LOL*

ehh... I'd go with number 1.. however for the sideskirts I would go with the blitz low as the rudora skirts look ugly IMO

also, you do mean the front that's in that(first) picture right? if so that's the rudora, the 97+ Kaminari isn't much different but looks like more of a half-lip type thing

EuroGSTSpyder · Aug 30, 2003

sorry

yupp you are right..my bad

Mixed them up..sorry*lol*
I mean it like in the pic....Rudora kit totally but without thier hideous wing*LOL*

I like #2, but I would have to see a pic with it with the Kaminari wing on it.

I think the rudora kit looks ugly. I really hate how far the bumper sticks out. Lots of people here seem to like it but i think it is one of the ugliest kits around (just my oppinion). I'd go with new buddy club kit. I think it would look great without the vents infront of the wheels. Maybe you could have a bodyshop fiberglass over it. I did alittle photoshopping on the pearl eclipse with the buddyclub kit that was posted acouple of days ago. I filled the vents and foglight holes and made the lip smoother.

Yeah I like the BC2 kit but its more expencive too:-( I have a hard time deciding here what to do...On a black car it will look so different too from a white car so...I dunno really.

Also a BC2 would be better formy FMIC cause its a bigone...wont fit at all in the rudora...Seems to be better fitted with the BC2 kit....

Wish I could afford to buy both and try*lol*

DR.Spock · Aug 31, 2003

i like the sensei EVO front bumpers myself, just an opinion

greenstreak · Aug 31, 2003

I think that either 2 or 3 would look the best. I think that the BC2 kit would get more attention in shows though since it is still pretty rare. Even more so all the way over there.

EuroGSTSpyder · Aug 31, 2003

kinda figure you would pop in on this thread greenstreak ;-)

Yeah I am thinking more of the BC2 as well....I like it a bit more and its still pretty rare.Over here ...well no one built a Eclipse with bodykit yet except my GS w. Kaminari kit and a friend who put Blitz on his(wich I dont like BTW) so I am pretty solo on any bodykit so far.

Wiggy44k · Aug 31, 2003

The Drift front has a very large opening for a FMIC.

brcewane · Sep 8, 2003

My vote is for the BC2 but with the OEM 97-99 front bumper with a Carbon Fiber RM Lip

oOBLazerOo · Sep 8, 2003

if you want rare go with the new veilside kit for the eclipse. *faints from beauty* that is the best kit by far!

EuroGSTSpyder · Sep 8, 2003

and what is the NEW kit from Veilside then? I have seen the kit htey had out for a long time and I dontlike it that much..so is there a NEW kit out too? Where can I find it?

Grilf · Sep 8, 2003

the Rudora rear end is ugly

paranoidtsi · Sep 8, 2003

I think the Invader Body Kit is the best kit out there, Battle-Z is pretty nice too.

I don't really like any bodykits(surprised, aren't 'cha?

)but out of those two definatly #1. I hate any bodykit that adds sharp lines to the round lines of a 2g like the BuddyClub2 or Blitz.

ALLTRBO · Sep 12, 2003

The stock 2Gb Eclipse body has sharp lines on a round bodystyle.

That is one of the reasons I really do not like Eclipses.

what sharp lines?

with the exception of the shape of the taillights I don't see any sharp lines on my car..

ALLTRBO · Sep 12, 2003

All the way around the bottom. The front bumper, sideskirts, and rear bumper. It's boxy at the bottom, but the rest of it is round. As you mentioned, the taillights too.
Compare it to a Talon.
It's just not my preference.

but looking at your talon with the 97 conversion it reeks of sharp lines, the spoiler, the door moldings, the side skirts, and not to mention front and rear bumpers... this isn't to say I don't love 2gb style Talons(especially in black), I'm just a little confused as to how the eclipse has sharp lines when the late talon has just as many if not more
