GST or GSX if you don't want to embarass yourself at shows.

Are you looking at possibly having "go" with the "show"? If "so"(lol-sounds like it's rhyme time) then go with a GS-T or GSX... they are the turbo models...
otherwise I would just go with the RS or GS models... not near as much power but still look KICKASS!!!!!!(same car-just different engine...)

Why are you asking, this is more of a preference thing.

Why an eclipse in the first place?

Personally, I would get a 2g, either GST or GSX because they are turbo'd and can be built up to more power faster and cheaper than the nonturbo RS or GS. But if your not looking for speed, the RS's and GS's are cheaper.

if you dont want to spend the extra money for a GSX or GST get a GS if your doing it just for show.

I would say ATLEAST a GST, so just incase someone is an ass, you can still smoke them. If you don't care about that, go for the GS.

Um.... just so you know... if you were to put a body kit on a talon... you wouldn't be able to tell if it was a talon or an eclipse.... for the most part... they come off of the same production line but end up getting different front/rear ends and spoilers.... otherwise both manufactured in Normal Illinois....

Can't help ya with the "bags"
