that's me. the big riced out eclipse with flames. that will be changing when I get this kit on. NO DECALS. I also will be putting on a VIS Invader Carbon Fiber Hood, Carbon Fiber Projector Headlights, Z3 Fenders w/ Diamond Star Logo, GTR Spoiler, and V-tech Taillight Covers. Waiting for the Spoiler and Z3's to come in, then it's off to the paint shop. It sucked when I hit that deer, but the aftermarket parts are helping me cope.

Dude that looks fuckin sweet dude! Where did you get it and how much was everything? :thumbsup BUT...

I just want to ADVISE you...dude above had a good point...I would definatly get some bigger rims, that front bumper will hang so low on them 16s you have. I wouldnt want to crack a $4-- front bumper before you were even done with all that stuff you said above. I think the smart thing to do would be to wait for the installation of that kit till you get your rims. But thats just IMO

EDIT: But your not dropped so maybe that will cancel it out...its your call...

I'm not planning on lowering it until I get the bigger rims, and it looked like I would have a good amount of room when I stuck the front bumper up to the car. But who knows until it is on there. Hopefully it won't be slammed. Then I'll be driving my slowass 1.8L '93 Talon w/ 180,000 miles on it for 3 damn months.

Is it the true Bomex ground effects or is it one of those knock off shit? I think they call it BMX or something like that???

Of course it's a knock off. I don't know anybody in their right mind who would pay $1500 for a Bomex body kit when you can get one that looks exactly the same for $650.

all about fitment mang....my friend bought the actual bomex kit....paid 1200 after tax at a local shop. Fits absolutely perfect and the holes are pre punched.....all you have to do is drill them out. Its all a matter of opinion, i would never pay $250 for an AEM intake when i can get an ebay one and a k&n for $75.

Id rather spend 1200 for the real thing and have the piece of mind and satisfaction to knowing it will fit perfectly and not have to do major work on the gorund effects to get them to fit......since that front bumper sits so far out do you have to still get rid of the 5 mph bumper reinforcement???

I believe that all or most Bomex kits are made to keep the bumper reinforcement. I would assume so anyway since it does stick out like a mofo.
