ok i have a 95 eclipse and i'm getting ready to order a body kit, probably the blitz for the 97-99 eclipses but my question is what all do i need to make this conversion? i'v seen some sites that say you need the 97-99 reverse lights but what exactly does that mean? just the covers or what? and do i need spacers or soemthing like that for the front bumber? thanks for any help
1997 Mitsubishi Eclipse GSX: K&N Filter, John Sheppard built transmission with GVR4 1st gear, autometer boost gauge, "free mods", Greddy type-s BOV, broken shifter

here we go again.. ... if you are getting the 97-99 kit for the 95-96.. you need to get the 97-99 headlights/projectors if you do not want a 1/2"-1 1/2" gap between the bottom of the lights and the bumper... for the rear bumpers... b/c the two different bumpers have two different positions for their reverse lights and their differnt shapes... for most aftermarket rears, they use the same shape of the stock lights.. in your case, you will need to get the correct fitting reverse lights in order to have the bumper work.. im sure that you could ghetto-rig something if you didnt want to.. but that would be a waste of time.. just get some used ones.

It sucks for us 95-96 people... You look at a bodykit's price and think you can afford it and then forget that it is going to cost $300+ for the conversion.

I talked to them in person. You can talk them down in price a little. They didnt even have a website when I first got my kit so they probably just post somemore expensive prices and when you talk to them they "cut you a deal" they took a long time at first to ship all my stuff out so they upgraded to the plastic for my for pretty cheap becuase of it. I think if you call and talk to Oscar he'll hook ya up.
