61943, What do you all think? I'm wanting opinions
Posted by pea_jay, Nov-14-03 03:55 PM
Ok this winter my car is gonna do a transformation. This is my plan.

Exterior: Lightning Yellow paint from the evo, blitz body kit with fender flares, carbon fiber hood, carbon fiber side mirrors, carbon fiber tails with center painted to match, black 18's with a polished lip, dropped 2", blue undercar neons, and lambo doors.

Interior: Reverse indiglo gauges, hvac mod, black carpet, black dash with yellow accents, black/yellow sparco's, and the rest of interior done in yellow and black.

Engine: Only plan is the hrc stage 2, but i already have forged internals, so would that make it stage 3?

Keep in mind this is mostly a show car, but i need some power to back up the looks. Please give me your honest opinion. Thanks:thumbsup

Wow...that sure is a mouthful, but yes, that would kickass. You better have a lot of money... Also, when/if you get the lambo doors done, be sure to post pics and info.

Sounds good.

Yes that would make it stage 3, and it would be a great idea.

if it is mostly a show car than you should consider a different kit than the blitz imo.....while its nice, it is very played out. there are a lot nicer kits out there. look into the buddy club 2, the new blitz and the kaminari kits.

i heard from someone that there was and i saw a pic not too long ago of a front bumper that looked kinda like the blitz but better but i have yet to see anything concrete. the other two are great choices imo and i might end up doing em:thumbsup

97-99 conversion is way hotter than blitz IMO.

97-99 conversion will stand out more nowadays...everybody and their grandmother is putting a kit on their eclipse. I would suggest a nice paint job, rims, cf hood, 97-99 conversion w/turbo wing(maybe), and a bigass front mount to top things off. but that's what i think would look nice. it's your car, do what you want:thumbsup

I say get a stillen front and a invader cf hood....just paint your mirrors to match the car......everything else sounds ok to me should look hot...i just pictured a yellow eclipse with stillen front and invader hood and it looks hot in my mind:9

Yea i was thinking about the stillen front. I would love to have a car just like kaptain myke's but yellow with a c/f hood. I think it would look good.

Other than the blitz kit, i think it'll look hot as well. The blitz is nice, but it's WAY too common now. The 97-99 conversion is also getting played out (especially with the RMDSM lip), i know it looks better than the stock 95-96, i even bought everything to convert mine last year, but everyone started doing it, and now it's getting done way too much, so i'm actually thinking of getting the Veilside, or Bomex kit now. The Bomex has been coming out alot more lately, but you still don't see the Veilside much (prolly cuz it costs so much). Anyway, if you want a show car, i wouldn't do the 97-99 front, alot of people are stuck on that, and don't realize it's not very show to make your car look stock. It's your car tho, and your personal preference is all that matters. If you think judges will dig your car, then go for it :thumbsup. I'm ALL FOR the lambo doors too :9

No matter what you do theres always going to be people who like it and people who dont... Youre doing your car for yourself, not us, so IMO it doesnt matter what we think sounds nice but what you think sounds nice.

Thanks farmfogg for those pics. It'll look a lot like the first one but without that wing or the graphics, with black rims. Thanks to everyone else for their opinions too, very helpful. :thumbsup

you should go with aonther kit, the blitz is to dressy, i'd go with the stillen front, and my favorite is the qwees widebody, cuz its a full add on kit but doesnt look to dressy, looks like a natural widebody.....just my opinion! goodluck!

peajay..nice to see you back on the board...it seemed like you were gone for a while. You plans sound good but I have to agree with some of the others...that the blitz kit is kinda played....I don't know much about body kits though.

Cereal5 you still trying to sell that thing? 'cause I still keep licking my chops over that spolier:9 LOL
