$150 shipping for an entire body kit is cheap. However, the 2G-B eclipse was one of the sexiest OEM body styles made. I would have to kick you in the nuts if you rice it out. Lower your car and get nice wheels ..... it will be 10x nicer than some fiberglass body kit.

No body kit needed!! Nice wheels and lower it... Body kits look terrible

agreed, the charcoal is a great color!! get some rims, lower it just a touch, and enjoy it!!! if anything, just get the front end retouched so the yellow scrapes don't show.
if you're dead stuck on a body kit, $150 IS CHEAP for shipping, they are not light, and the box is HUGE! usually they don't fit properly, so you have a lot of work making it fit right when you pre-install it, then it needs to be removed and painted, and then you have to go back and install it all over again!!! if you're concerned about $150 in shipping, don't forget about all the other BS i just mentioned!!! I've been there and done that, if you want it to fit properly and look good, you need to go through all the proper steps!!

OK so i have heard from a few of u and im kinda attached to my nut so we are skipping the body kit and going with rims and a lowering kit. Where would i find and kit or a shop thats would do it for me? We are also thinking of some under glows whats ur opinions on this and what color do u think would look good?

skip the underbody light kits. unless you're in tokyo, they look gay. To lower the car you will need new springs. You can find lots of different springs that will drop the car different heights. Depending on the condition of your current springs, might provide a nice boost in ride comfort and performance.

check with Dizmm and Extreme about helping install some lowering springs. no underbody glow either (if you are deadset on a glowing car though, check out Websters Performance in Plover http://webstersperformance.com)

No. Lowering springs will provide a "look", but will make the car handle and ride like crap.

Skip the glow..... Lowering springs will make the car ride a bit stiff but I don't see much performance loss from stock.... Nice car... Used to have a 98 gsx
