45440, Just a Peak...... (BodyKit Just Got Painted)
Posted by Jarrad_GST, Apr-20-03 05:36 PM
Got my side skirts and rear painted from local body shop, great price and great job for $250.

Still waiting on my backorder GTR spoiler... then will see if I should put the spoiler on or leave it off. We will see, I want the spoiler, and other say no.

Here's a peak...
(left the center tail light piece at the body shop, so they could color match it. doh!)

i have found myself in love with the no-spoiler look. i dont know what it is, but your eye just takes in the whole car and isnt drawn towards the ass end of it. the lines just flow much better or somthing.

anywho, thats a damn clean lookign ride, if i were you i wouldnt touch it. ;)

I got the Erubuni sides and they seem to fit fine. I just got my WW front and WW spoiler reshot and they have good fitment. The Z3's have been a treat. I should have everything sanded (2500 grit wet) and compounded by the end of the week. I hopefully will have pics this weekend.

A spoiler will ruin the nice look it's got going.

i personally don't like that front, but the rest of the car is HOT as it is! the shaved spoiler look is off the hook!

Yah stock sarronno red, waxed every two weeks and garage kept in the winter.


Well what front do you think would work? Stillen, thats the only other front I might consider.

Spoiler should be here early May.

I think your car looks tight as hell

Stillen would be dope, but if u like yours just keep it, not my first choice either but its your car bro .

BTW many are curious as to where you got your kit. It's nice to see a blitz rear w/ the reverse lights in the right place.

I've never liked 2G's without spoilers. Put that wing on- it'll look nice. nicer I should say.

Thanks peeps for the compliments and not hating on the miniority 4g63 heh..

I can help on any body kit questions with just the experience I have had. I helped Ryan_Hes on his street fighter and helped me on mine.

python6586 - I have always kept my stock paint in good condition by waxing twice a month and polishing it which some people don't do. I took my center tail light to the body shop for them to match it and if your body shop is good they should be able to match the paint just right. Once, I went to a shop that makes any color spray paint can, and they had difficulties matching the paint. But, no I have had no problems with getting peices painted the right shade. Red for our cars can be difficult and the same with the silver.

coClipse_97 - I got my banshee from MBautosports last summer, compared to others, had really good fitment (above average).
Then came time to get a the rest of my kit and I looked everywhere and found a body kit on ebay that said mix and match, vis racing fitment. I went to the seller's site and called them to make sure they weren't lying. Well I bought the kit off ebay for $440 shipped buy it now. Street Front (sold to RyanHes, above average fitment) blitz 2 low sides (left fitted perfect, the right is fucked up) and kept getting in the way when closing my door and it wasnt long enough either. (below average fitment)
The rear was average, it might start to crack someday b/c the right angle corner just has a lot of pressure there. I had to dremel the bottom because it comes all shaped weird for the muffler. Will have more pics later.

Make sure if you get a body kit you have a dremel to sand off some imperfections. Its really easy and quick to sand since its fiberglass.


I got the banshee b/c no one really has it and I like the integra lights are awesome, I wasnt sure what kit would match it so.. I just want to be unique and the only thing with the banshee for the other who might want to buy it is, its the lowest aftermarket bumper I think for the Eclipse. I live in flatville IL and never really worry about the roads. If I were to get Stillen, I would have to crack this one, and its been a year and the front hasnt gave me any problems since I first learned just how low it was.

Will have more pics later.
