Well I got rid of the Bomex kit and slapped some new rollers and tires on it. I know, I still need to prime the top and the jambs. Lemme know what you think.

Do you have a paint booth you use? I live in New Jersey and was wondering if you could probably put a turbo wing on for me and paint it. What kind of money could we be talking about. I need a good hook up man.. Everywhere I go they want to rape me on this job.

Exactly, and I dont have booth. I use my garage that I made special vents and fans in, lol. Its really easy to that stuff, you just have to try. It wouldnt be worth the gas money to drive down here to do it. The wing would have to sit somewhere out of the weather atleast overnight anyways.

But if you want help, Im always available for a fellow 2gnt'er

I'm more of a fan of a clean stock looking car IMO. Not a fan of the front that you could rest your soda on...

i usually like the stock look, the bodykits will look good in pictures, but too much like a toy car in person...i like the bomex sides better than the stocker though.

looks totally fucking stock, put the kit back on, i'm sick of seeing potentially great looking cars going back stock. If you wanted to look like everyone else to begin with, why buy a bodykit? emoji emoji emoji

imo, your car looks good stock but it was one of the few cars that i felt pulled the bomex kit off rather nicely. i would like to see the bomex kit back on your dsm but its your car and your choice.

I say stay bomex!!! However I myself was also playing with the notion of goin back to the stock front myself once I got my turbo put on!

Do what you want, if you keep the stock front I would rock some cf canards, and a cf splitter. Either way your ride looks sick as alway bro!

I dont know. Im just so damn tired of scraping my front everywhere I go. I like the Bomex look, but just a stock kit with some wide rubber, just does something for me. Im already pricing for a CF lip, Invader hood, hatch, fenders, and maybe that Importfan stock rear diffuser. I want to go all CF, I like the way it looks, lol. Income tax is coming, so I will get that stuff then decide.

Thanx for the comment guys, positive and negative.

If painting is sooo easy, why not slap some on your car? I like it both ways but it needs to be painted. Every poor ricer out there is sporting primer now. Just my opinion.

Well its kinda hard now days to be different with your paint. So I cant decide between the blue color like 99GSBBturbo's car, a maroon'ish blood color, or a dark silver. I really like that blue, sorry 99GSBBturbo, not tryin to jump on your wagon, its just like I said, kinda hard to not follow after somebody to have a decent color now days, lol.

Man, I haven't been here in like a month. I'm missing out on stuff.

I like what you did with your car, especially the 2GB wingless. I plan on doing that (wingless) soon, but it only looks good with 17+ rollers and no funds are coming through. The "only" Bomex Eclipse I like is the Motegi Racing one.

But it looks really really good to me.
