The front fit flawlessly....no problems at all. The rear was a tad tougher. It's very tight around the "L's" at the rear quearter panel if you know where Im talking about, but Ive got it fit up pretty well...its just about flush. Definately acceptable...I luv it

Yah nice choice Ryan. Just makes me even more anxious to get my fiberglass work done so I can take it in for a full paint job.


Check this out guys..you all know that eklipsdrvr99 sold his car right? Well anyways eklipsdrvr99 and I were just up at the BIG SHOW, a show here in VA. And we saw the guy who had bought eklipsdrvr99's eclipse and man he beat the hell out of it. The interior is now the worst thing I have ever seen...and he cut the APEX'i N1 muffler off of it. This was a full catback so all had to do is unbolt it, but instead he cut if off...looks more like he chewed it of really. :bash :shrug :scratch :nuts If you could see his car upclose NOW you would cry.

The guy who bought it was showing it at the BIG SHOW and already had a for sale sign on it. I wanted to buy it and return it back to the way it was right before eklipsdrvr99 sold it.

A very sad day it was.:(

I had simnilar problems on the rear but I strengthened the kit there..build it up to go flush with the fender exactly so..no biggie. However my front didnt fit either.Had to cut out for the headlights and mold it again.Was to tight to fit there.I made it work and I am absolutely satisfied with the kit in general. Very nice.It sits low as hell but still...very nice on the car :-)
When you get it back from paintjob..you will be very happy to see it all back together..I know I was ;-)

Custom. Looks like a modified version of some other kit.

EDIT: yeah your right, now that I look at it more it is pretty different.

I really dont htink its a modified Cyber..Nothing in that kit looks like it could come from the cyber one. If so he had to rip it all apart totally and build it up from scratch.I would say its a custom job for sure but maybe ground was from another kit...not the cyber though.

I am on KYB GR-2 Struts...basically a factory replacement, just a tad stiffer. They have been perfect for me for over a year now -- ride quality is excellent.
