Whassup everyone? I'm looking to finally buy a body kit and all that good stuff but have no idea which 1 would be best. I like the GT-R back bumper or whatever and the Evo styled front, I do actually like Blitz front's but EVERYONE has 1. Bomex isnt bad, but I see on E-Bay you can get a kit for around 400-450 shipped, is it good to buy from E-Bay? And where is somewhere else I could get 1 for a good price.


Is it difficult to do the install or recommended for a shop to do it? Anyone know thw price on the pro install? Thanks guys

get a damn widebody and have fun with it
some kits are decent off ebay and some are absolute shit. i suggest buying a real vis or buddy club kit if your installing yourself and have no body work related skills at all, this way the kit will fit some what decent.
but i suggest getting a widebody!!!!!

well i would say most, but not all, those kits on ebay are knock offs. just ask the seller , thats what i do, and they usually answer pretty straight. now about the kit.......forget blitz its just played out, buddy club 2 flows nicely with the lines of the eclipse. or get what eclipse982nrst says, widebody!!! lol but i wouldnt if its a daily driver. realy its whatever you want, your car , your money and your taste. good luck man

or you can spend 400 on a street scene bumper that flows real well with the stock lines and install it yourself then use the rest of the money your gonna piss away on having someone installing a crappy knock off from ebay on performance or other body mods, plus u get a urethane bumper that won't crack and not a lot of people have it and you don't have to take off the support bumper, thats what i think but i'm not important so do whatever you want



can you tell i love my bumper
nevermind that wire its fixed

Like ^^^ said above do not get a widebody kit if its your daily. Also don't get a widebody if you don't have much that much money to spend either. You have to pay to get it molded on and then you have to have the whole car painted.

I would recommend the buddyclub2 kit. Nice full body kit. Or you can peice one together. Either way it is entirely up to you. Just look around for a while.

If you do plan on doing to the install yourself, just be prepared for the kit not to fit perfectly. Worst case scenario you would have to break the kit a bit and refiberglass it together or just have a shop do the install and paint it if you can't get the kit to fit good.

Also...its a good idea to install the kit and drive around for a couple of days before you get it painted. This is so the kit can do any flexing/bouncing it will see from daily driving, and any stress cracks that may occur will happen during this time. After a couple of days take it in to get it painted and you should be fine.

Good luck and here are a couple sites to help you with your kit hunting.

I say stock front with RMDSM lip, bc2 sides, and bc2 rear. That's what I'm doing anyway. I gotta ditch the widebody it's too much trouble

If you want to put it on yourself then go urethane.
