Body kit??

[macavelli04]

Does anyone know if the street fighter body kits and the bmx2 kits from ebay fit well on a 97 eclipse? i was lookin at them and they said noone had any problems wit them and i was wantin to kno if it was tru?

i think any body kit doesn't fit exactly perfect, all will require some extra work to get them on, fitting right. i don't have one, but i've been around enough people that have and they all warned me about it...

[mitsu_eclipse95gst]

first i would contact the people trying 2 sell it and ask what year its for 95-96 or 97-99

allot of the time the 95-96 bodykits fit the 97-99's.

yes they will fit, but if it was molded for a 97-99 and is placed on a 95-96 or vise versa you will have some nasty gaps around the headlights. and no one likes nasty gaps.

yea i kno...i asked, but the 95-96's fit the 97-99's cept fo tha front headlights, i kno that but i dont kno how much work they take to put on, if they just require very little modification then i want one but if you gotta cut an bend an shit then i dont want it thanks

all you should need is a set of 97-99 headlights, and it will take care of those gaps. that is if it is a quality body kit. a lot of the time e-bay body kits aren't exactly quality. so i would still plan on a lot of time being devoted to kit to get it on correctly and to have it look good. hope that helps.

I havnt seen any name brand body kits i really like i dont like wings west or veilside so i dont kno what to do

[95_GSX]

i personally havnt had any experience with body kits. i have talked to some people that have had trouble with e-bay kits. fitment issues. so i was just saying you should research the company before buying. i dont know of any manufactures so i cant help you out there. i wish you good luck in finding a body kit for your car.

[macavelli04]

i dont really like them...i like they way the street fighter front looks how it sticks out an shit i heard they fit perfect just a direct bolt on

[Chavez408]

go for it then tell us how it went

[macavelli04]

well not the street fighter. you have to drill holes an they supposively have 98% fittament. but the wings west an shit are direct bolt on...my bad

Well, my baby is in the body shop getting blitzed right now. I personally love the blitz kit. To me it's like one of the neatest, sleekest, beautifullest kits produced. Well i got mine from Ebaymotors.com. I must say when i opened the huge box, i was shocked to find that it was so damn thin that i was affraid to even handle it. I mean one good bump or hit on something and she would have cracked. After lots of extra fiberglass work, we got the kit looking good and strong, much stronger. Then we got it painted and looking awesome and we get the back bumper on with not too many dead ends. The back is on good and looks awesome so far. Unfortunatly, the side skirts and the front bumper isn't fitting right, so shes at the body shop and my side skirts are actually being molded to my car, so now when it's on, i gotta paint where they sand and mold and shit. More money. There gonna have to modify the front nose just to make it fit too. Where ever you get your kit from make sure you find out the thickness and strength of it before you buy it. If i had a chance to do it all over again, i would have saved my money and got a Urenthane Blitz it. I heat those are pretty much direct bolt on, plus there alittle easier to flex and work with. Well, theres my 2 cents, hope my car is done by Saturday, lol
