Yes, I care what people think. I try to take a little pride (if there is any to be had in driving an eclipse), by not being a ricer.

Is this body kit ricer or not.

REAL RA front end

For comparison sake.

My car is UV Blue...

Personally, I don't think I would do it without a better sideskirt match, the skirts they sell with the kit are nothing like the RA ones. The back is close enough, the front is perfect.

I'm not sure I would go with the hood, I really don't like it, but it almost seems necessary for the RA look.

Anyway just looking for opinions, yay or nay or why its gay.

I like the RA front, but honestly the stock front with the foglights is just as nice. I do like the eyebrows. The sideskirts are decent, but the rear is hideous IMO. Is that blue one your car? If so, nice choice in wheels, they go nicely with the styling. Get rid of that front plate though!

It kinda reminds me of the 2gb front bumper. Its looks okay but I wouldn't get it if I had the new eclipse.

The back sucks, the rest is okay. Just don't sell the car anytime soon, it won't be worth two bits.

I like it the way it is, but if you got the front bumper and painted that center part black it would look nice. I agree with the rest that the RA rear bumper sucks.

I think it looks pretty nice.

Never knew eyelids could make the front-end look so good haha.

Im not a big fan of body kits, but I personally think it looks alright compared to others I have seen.

^ That's basically my take on it. I like the stock/addition aero body, cause it's really subtle, it's just the fangs in front and it lowers the back end a bit. But all the after market kits (including this one too I guess) are a bit of a let down. There is a kit by AIT called Blackout, but it's just too much for me.

I think the front bumper of the RA is really the only piece I like, and I don't think it looks "right" without the hood, and like I mentioned, I just don't really like the hood.

Thanks for the honest feedback, it was kind of a hope that the kit would turn out well, but I think most of the 4G owners were let down on all but the front piece.

Thanks for the compliments on the eye lids/brows, I put them in about a week and a half ago and they seem to be getting a lot of positive comments. And yup, the blue one is mine!

The rims were 300 bucks!! 400 installed w/ lugs. Discount Tire ftw

Oh and yeah i've been meaning to get rid of my front plate, it was like the first thing I was going to do to the car but i've been to lazy to find some caps or whatever to fill the holes. I'm actually going to look into that right now.
