Hey everyone. I'm a newbie and I'm so glad I found this forum! It's awesome BTW :smile:
So I just started to mod my 2001 eclipe gt. So far I just got intake, exhaust and tail lights (Not much but ya gotta start somewhere right :iceslolan ). I plan on working on the suspension next but I wanna lil show with my go. So I found a body kit I like (battle Z) and was just wandering what to expect with the install as far as cost/time goes. I will probably order it myself and then find a shop to intall/paint it.
Can anyone that's had this done gimme an idea as to what the cost for labor/paint etc will be. And about how long I should expect it to take?
One other quick question....Next thing I wanted to add was an underdrive pulley system. From what I know this is a rather inexpensive way to add a lil hp, better handling, gas mileage and longevity of other parts. Any comments on that?
Thanks a ton guys!

I really do not know anything about body kits. But I do know underdrive pullies. If you put on a pulley, expect to gain around 1.5whp. that's it. I really don't think that it is a worthwhile mod. when you are running alot of power, then it will do you good to get the pulley, but until then, consider it more of a show piece.
