I just wanted opinions on how everyone thought it would look with a Drift front, running stock sideskirts and rear.

i think it looks like shit. it looks bad because the front will more then likly be lower then the rest of your car.

imo, the stillen front looks decent w/ stock sides.

If it's boxxy and not curvy like the stock design, then its going to look out of place imo.

thats just what i think .. heh im no expert on body kits n stuff tho :)

Here are a couple pics I have with just the front. I'm still saving for the sides and back, so dont flame me if you dont like it.

I have a 95 eclipse and debated over this for a while myself...I actually decided to do a 97-99 conversion (front and back bumpers) and put a lip on my front bumper just so it looks a little different than factory. Alot of my friends got body kits and since they were made of fiberglass they were constantly cracking and chipping, etc and I didnt like that...I guess it all depends on what look you are going for too...here is a site you can look at the lip to see if you like it...it is a little pricey but I am sure if you look around you can get it cheaper...ebay or something...also, I am sending you an email w/another pic with the lip (I couldn't get it to load on this post...it doesnt look as good in the site so I am sending a better pic)...Good luck ...Anna :thumbsup
