Wide body kit help

[gstjoker]

Guys! Have you guys seen this body kit? I'm pretty sure you have. It's on ebay. Now, I haven't seen anybody here in MN with that body kit at all and I want to make that one of my future plans to my 96 gst eclipse. What do you think? Has anyone experienced anything bad with this body kit? Give me your thoughts. Here's the link to ebay's item:

Are you going to install it yourself? If you need advice, you may want to ask around about the Tom Ferlaak Wood Screw method.

Wow, that is one of the most hideous things I have ever seen! That is going to be a bitch to install and you are going to have to drill holes into your fenders. It is going to look like shit if you install it yourself.

If you want to be laughed at and lose any value your car HAD, buy that kit. I've yet to see a kit that doesn't have half inch gaps everywhere. A DSM is a performance car, body kits are for young asian kids with Hondas and cheap home hair dye kits.

I have a 98 Spyder @ the shop w/ that kit right now, it's a 13 Quewse (sp?) wide body kit. Be prepared for one huge body shop bill to have it installed and the car resprayed.

I saw a car that had a version of that kit with the front nose thing trimmed flat with the car at the SO one year and it looked fucking awesome to me. He may of trimmed a few lines a bit, but the front end being cleaned up really made it look 100% better. It was a pretty simple gloss black paint job as well so it didn't stand out much. I'm sure it cost a shit load either way, unless your able to to most fo the hands on work yourself and do it right.

No, I was planning to get it possibly molded on at the shop. But seeing as how expensive you guys make it sound. Ha! Think I'm just going to head back to the performance part.

I have a 96 GST and it has that smily face front bumper, and I kind of don't like it. I'm just thinking of ways to make it look better. I thought about doing the 96 to 97-99 body conversion. Any suggestions to that or disagrement to that?

One word "Ricer". Sorry I have not seen one DSM with a nice body kit. I think they look good from the factory. I would just use the money and do more performance upgrade on your car. That is just my opinion.

If you did get that body kit... I wouldnt go with fiberglass I have heard storys of cracking and one little hit and its gone, get polyurethane. Also To have that body kit it looks like you will need the 97-99 bumper(s). So I would just say do a 97-99 and be done with it. They look HOTT! Just my opinions.

One advantage to that kit, the extra weight would keep the front wheels from spinning. So I guess you could call it a "performance mod."

Still ugly in my opinion.
