#64772, "body kit question"


          

i was going to purchase the blitz body kit from import fan, however, i sort of like the rear bumper on the stock eclipse. so i was wondering, if i got the front and sideskirts would the sideskirts matcy up to the rear or would it be higher or lower or how would that look? and help would be great.
thanks guys
Adam

the blitz sides and front are alot lower than the stock stuff. I have seen some that look pretty good and some that don't. I just depends on the rest of the car imo. You know color, graphics etc.

I'd say it looks Like ass if you leave the stock rear. Almost as bad as having a front bumper and no sideskirts emoji emoji emoji

Don't buy blitz. Buy http://www.buddyclub2.com/bodykits/Mitsubishi/9596eclipse/2dr/index.htm

Thats phat and prolly only 50 people have it instead of 62536235612635431. lol ..... not flaming flamineclipse either....hehe.no pun intended.

nah Blizare no offense taken. I've had mine a long time, since before you saw them around all the time. It's probably time for a change, but my kit is still one of the baddest out there imo.
And I doubt you could get buddy club at the same price as you can pick up the blitz now.

Yea..just how much is the Buddy Club 2(I would kinda like it in seperate pieces, y'know, sides, then rear, then front, because I have to wait on the front bumper till my radiator core support is straightened and painted before I go installing another bumper) and I hope not everyone starts to get the BC2...it's getting alot of publicity through the DSM show community, but I have yet to know any that have it....I'm also really curious at how hard and how much it would hurt the structure of the rear bumper of that kit to have another cutout for a split exhaust...

well, you could always mix-n-match 'em.. get the front and sides from a blitz kit, and then find an add-on skirt for the rear bumper, like the Rudora kit has... or find a rear body kit bumper that has a stock look to it, the blitz bumper has a decently stock look to it, until it reaches the bottom where I squares off to make it lowe, there are others that look VERY stock. Hmmm...I wonder if any of the aftermarket people have thought about making OEM style fronts, rears and sides, only making them as low as many body kits...I think that would look kinda pimp....ESPECIALLY if they did a 97-99 OEM style kit for the Eclipse and a seperate kit for talon owners with the hotness of the 97-98 Talon bumper(which I LOVE, and wish I could keep..but I'll have to see how well it fits with the sides and rear being a body kit...

The buddy club 2 isn't that expensive. When I got mine, it was $1100 shipped w/front, back, sides and fenders. Should probably be a little cheaper now since that was a little over a year ago. BTW, I paid about $600 more for my blitz kit when it first came out, that was about a year before fast and the furious came out.
