bodykit

Post by gtxtreme19 » Wed Apr 07, 2010 10:54 pm

OK I can't decide if I want this body kit or not, I like the lip kits but this seems a lot less common and still looks fairly subtle. Also after I buy this and finish a Hood the car will get a coat of sublime green with flat black Hood deck lid and spoiler

Edit: the front and rear bumper are damaged from hitting a large family of extremely large raccoons and from putting a motor in the trunk gouging the rear bumper

I'd have to say that it doesn't look too bad compared to all the other body kits.

Any pictures of the rear?

I usually can't stand them either but I got searching for new front and rear bumper and I think this one looks pretty damn good. Its also a urethane ptfe mix which will hold up really well with cold and scuffs and hitting anything

If y'all remember.. SXXXT is running that kit and it looks good on his.

But ill tell you this. Unless you plan to lower the car at the same time of doing this kit then it'll be fine. But if you don't lower it then it'll look like shit.

Plus that front and year is really big. So when u do get to lowering it even 2 or 1 inch you'll be almost on the ground.

Exactly

Yes, but SXXXT has alot of custom work in his car. He didn't just slap a body kit on and call it a day.

Manny....re-read your post. Haha what you typed contradicts itself. Confusing.

OP, your drop doesn't look very even. It's almost as though you aren't lowered in the front at all.

Front looks good but what I thought was body kits on our cars is not that good. Neon mean to be clean and that will look cool.

Car looks great after lowering! But btw do you have another set of wheels?

There's a dude in my apartment complex that owns a kitted eclipse.... It's clean as HELL. Been DDed summer/winter for the 2 years I've lived here and not a crack on it.

However, it's also a urethane kit
