  • still don't know why people are hating on these things. I can't even change a lightbulb in my car :/

  • i molded mine with bondo

    

  • @Sick420aeclipse Could have had a 4g63?....

  • his car...let him do wuteva fuck he wants to do with it!!!

  • did u install this yourself?

  • And it still has a 420a...

  • @wes39393 so?..

  • thats a nice kit on that the colurs dnt go tho id get that changed :) and wot exhaust is that?

  • The colours/paint job is a 'work in progress' but that's a very nice looking car, you did well, what was the finished colour/s?

  • Maybe it would look alright painted but no wing and it might look decent show a video when done dude

  • just to add thats not a gs its a gsx or gst you can tel because those models had the ""power bump" on the hood

  • that shits wack im 17 and ive paint cars that look way better and if u really had a vision the car would have been primered and painted the RIGHT way

  • THAT IS NOTHING BUT A UGLY RICE BUCKET . U WAISTED YOUR TIME AND MONEY ON A PIECE OF SHIT

  • How do you install a body kit on to a car

  • i will say tho nice wheels i got the same on my 1g GSX what are those center line forges

  • this is a shame to all DSM'ers poor car never saw it coming i never understood granted its mosly 16 yr olds that do body kits but why would anyone take the sexy look of a dsm and make it look like a retarded honda

  • First few seconds I thought it was a hot wheels car lol!

  • looks dope only if it's completed, but what is the point of showing a body kit that's already been installed?

  • @MrAsafam The car is finished, click on my name and there is a link to it finished, its a powerpoint.

  • Another eclipse ruined by a dumb ass young kid. This looks like complete shit.

  • @Master7770 Number 1 fuck you, I'm educated and pursuing my degree in business administrations, and a minor in financing. 2 It was a GS which automatically sucks balls. 3 I have never had one person say the car looks like complete shit in person. I sold the car years ago, but respect the hard work we put in for some young 17 year olds with a vision. Its called an accomplishment, and we are all proud of our first project. These cars look way better stock, but the body was fucked up.

  • @DalePerkowski dude why get worked up, your on youtube, if someone writes a dumb comment forget about it, if you get worked up an mad over a fuckin comment the person who wrote the comment WON......people wright stupid shitt all the time, im like "ok dude get a life' an leave it at that. dont dtress it bro, there prob a comuter nerd who has no life, an has nothing better to do...

  • Don't forget the diamond plate flooring...

  • If you guys want to see the finished car click on my name and i have a powerpoint of it finished. A lot of people keep asking if its done, or saying its going to look god, its been done for yrs lol Sold it already.

  • ghetto style

  • When I grow up im gonna buy a eclipse amd pimp it as fuck B)

  • dats guna be a bad ass car wen u finish

  • omfg WOW!! WANT THT CAR

  • i thought it was an rc car at first

  • what did you mold it with. fiber glass and then bondo??????????????

  • yeah i molded it with bondo any other questions just let me know. But if you have a nice car with no rust and the body is good, i prefer not adding a body kit because the body lines on the stock car are nice already. Use the money you have for either the motor or a paint job if u need one

  • Hellow dale, i wanna ask you something man..I see that you are in to these things and that you have an upgraded car.Well let me ask you now, i have a mitsubishi colt of the class 2000.What do u suggest to fix this car, to get the new mitsubishi eclipse 2010 or the incredible camaro ss 2010.(p.s. i dont have the money to get one of these cars but i will work hard untill i have them, it is my dream to do something with car.) Thank you for listen me and my child thought about cars..!!

  • I would go with the Camaro ss all day. The eclipse isnt turbo anymore and you cannot push as much power out of it as the old ones. Too much money, time, and investment.

  • I would go with the Camaro ss all day. The eclipse isnt turbo anymore and you cannot push as much power out of it as the old ones. Too much money, time, and investment.

  • @bensaintss James bondo

  • @KOU um no the smell of rice is coming from this video and umm i own a 94 talon tsi awd 370hp sleeper. lose the fast and furious bodykit and that 420a and yes you are a RICER!!!

  • I think ive heard ricer on here more then anywhere. The car was finished yrs ago, sold already and on to another project. Everyone goes through that stage of making a car look good. But thanks for wasting your time stating your claim.

  • ricer

  • @nbhplayer Who cares man? If someone just wants there car to look nice without racing around the fucking city then let them..

  • I SMELL RICE.

  • @ooikwf Then someone in your house must be making rice. Rice is defined as a car that has multiple exterior upgrades and no engine modifications. Due to the fact that all we saw was exterior you nor can anyone else make a legible and accurate statement that this is as low life people like you say "rice". In conclusion and in a harsher manner, Your an idiot, You obviously don't love cars, Go Away.

  • @kouruleoblaze He loves cars. Ricers destroy cars that looked great without any body mods. I'll agree, some body kits look nice but the majority of the time they pick the worst body kits, throw a "OMG OVER 9000" Horsepower wing on the back and throw a fart can on (that also gives 2,000 more horse power because a fart can is obviously needed to make the car better/faster).

  • @xdarkreaperzx yeah,, its not a fucked up body kit in its actuallyy installed professionally instead of wit drywall screws like see ricers do lol

  • i like this kit a lot, i like how it adds a more aggressive look to the car without making it look like its to much

  • u wanna race my 2009 eclipse Gsr

    heheh ill race for pinks :]

  • where do you buy a body kit, do you order it online?

    do you go to any ol' body shop to get it installed?

    help would be appreciated

  • pretty nice. i prefer Polyurethane though. i feel its a much better product than fiberglass

  • now did you have to cut the doors or anything to fit it on cuz i have the same one im about to install... any help or advice would be appreciated

  • I did not have to cut the doors, but I did have to heat up the fiber glass to make it flex. You have to heat it up pretty hot too, dont think a blow dryer is going to work, because it wont lol. Anything else just let me know.

  • ha yeah lol didnt think it would help that much...... what gun did you use? nice dsm though bud..... would it be easier to install those side skirts with the Z3 fenders or would factory be just as easy or would cutting have to come into place. thanks again for the help

  • I would stick with the stock fenders if you could, but I had to replace mine because someone hit them before I bought the car and they put a shit ton of bondo on them. With the z3's they dont fit so well, they fit but with the kit added on we need to mold the shit out of it to make it look show quality

  • no cutting of the doors is needed, if anything cut the sideskirts and mold them into your body if you want it to look nice

  • the car actually looks good and clean. i just dont favor cosmetic upgrades over performance upgrades. are there any high end performance parts on the car?

  • Well the finished product turned out awesome, i saved for a turbo kit, new ecu, fuel pump, injectors, the whole works, but that summer was the beginning of college so i ended up buying my laptop and tons of other shit i need. I sold the car last summer for 4k and bought an Yamaha R6. Finally got my money back up and now looking to buy a gst-or gsx but all stock.

  • ewww... the body looks great but im not shore if filling in the body on back was the best idea i would be afrade of braking it and posobly have to paint the hole car again.

  • drift body kit on a fwd car, /sigh.

  • @damoose972 could be a gsx

  • well it looks like ass

  • Those ricers crack me up with those stupid huge mufflers which sound like a gas weed wacker and their fake wings which are like 2 feet high look like a giant shopping cart handle.I'd be so embarrased to be seen in a car that looked and sounded like that.What a joke,LMAO

  • the car is a green screen :P

  • Rice.

    GS Eclipse with a "Drift" style body kit, dime a dozen.

    Polish a turd, it's still a turd.

  • anything under the hood?

  • ::: Like :::

  • that aint no GS...only RS' was released with the black door handles...unless u replaced em...

  • Very good my man, I replaced them because i ripped one off. I just went out and got a pair because the price wasnt too bad.

  • the only thing i'd advise you to do before you paint it, is that you get rid of all the bondo that is moulding the kit to the bode and replace it with fiberglass. i know its a pain in the ass to do, but bondo doesn't flex as much as the body kit does and it WILL EVENTUALLY CRACK. fiberglass can flex and will not crack. it's up to you, but trust me, cracked paint looks like shit.

  • Thanks for the advice but idk why people keep telling me to do stuff, or telling me they cant wait to see it finished. LOL the car has been done for about 2 yrs or so. I finished it drove it a while and sold it. Yes you are correct about the flexing, but i designed brackets that bolted to the bottom sub-frame then to the bottom of the kit which kept it from flexing a lot at highspeeds. Thanks again and check my other vids as it shows it finished with pics and list of everything that was done.

  • @DalePerkowski brakes? thats fuckin smart. i never thought of doing that. how did you attach the kit to the braces?

  • I don't understand what you are asking when you said breakes? But i took small metal rods that i cut to the length of the distance from the front bumped to the sub-frame. Then i heated the rods and bent them to a circle at each end. That allowed me to bolt right through the circle with a washer on the top of it to the frame, and the other end to the bumper. It looked perfect and lookes great. You cant even notice it from an eyes view.

  • @DalePerkowski i meant brakes? my bad

  • @DalePerkowski i'm sorry. i meant to say braces.

  • did you paint that hood with a paint roller or somethin?

  • no its carbone fiber

  • those moddel eclipses are cool

    (just like the one from fast and furious)

    but theres this kid who...has a relative or something...who rides around in one of those eclipses...but its riced out...

    he destroyed those tail light with the typical ricer lights(i liked the taillights)

    cheap body kit debadged convertable...huge exaust...and he rides it when ever who ever the relative is is at his house...cuz i live by him and drive by that car all the time..

  • Yeah im done doing the body work bullshit. I am buying another one this summer. 97-99 gsx eclipse. All wheel drive turbo. The motor can turn out easily 400 hp with just a few parts. Greta car and I actually am going to keep it all stock this time except for the performance part of it.

  • cool

    what color green paint did you use in the video?

    because it looks exactly like the green from the fast and furious movie

    ...is it a lambo green?...

  • When I bought the car it was green, I honestly think the green may have come from the Dodge Charger SRT but Im not 100% sure. Lambo green is a possibility but who ever owned it before I did all this work must have dropped a pretty penny for a Lambo color.  So it probably not likely

  • ricer !

  • Actually if you could give me any information at all on how to make the whole process easier that would be great. I work at a body shop and haev access to all the tools and watnot. Also i take it you diddnt shave the front bumper because you couldnt install the lights after paint... body work is a bitch.

  • We installed the lights after paint. search eclipse gs drift body kit. its the finished thing with lights and all. What we did was sand the shit out of the holes for the reverse light and made them a little bigger then normal to allow paint and primer and clear to fit. We then used 3mm double sided tape to keep them in place. To make the kit easier to install try heating it up to make it more flexible. Anything else let me know, i dont have the car anymore but i remember like it was yesterday

  • did the bondo and fiberglass ever crack? and do you remember how they got the fiberglass to stick?

  • i fabricated brackets which bolted to the rear bumper on the left and right and ran them to the frame which kept the bumper from vibrating a lot in high winds. So no it did not crack after 2 yrs. it only cracked when i backed into something lol

  • sounds like a good idea... thanks

  • What did you use to shave the kit? Just fiberglass and body filler? if you did use glass, how did you get it to stick to the back panels?

  • we shaved the kit with sanders and mini saws. We used fiberglass just for some part of the door jams to make the skirts look like they are part of the car. We used bondo for the quarters

  • It has a nice body... I lik it just needs a paint job and maybe some betta rims

  • thats fuckin sick

  • you sould get a paint job so it is all the same color

  • get some 21's on that shit nigga

  • Ricer In The Making

  • Lol FWD.

  • LOL because 420A + body kit = rice

  • Which Compainny should i buy my bodykit from? Extreme Dimensions, Vision Auto, JT AutoStyle, and Sarona. Those compaies are selling a bodykit for my car, But i dont know witch one to buy from. Got any suggestions?

    P.S. Money isnt an issue, i care about the quality

  • I would go with extreme dimensions as they have been around for a long time and all of their kits use a dura-flex company which is really reliable and flexable. Also Sarona website looked good but trying to find what u needed was bullshit. Id go with Extreme Dimensions or Sarona.

  • THANK YOU! Ive already found EXACTLY what i want on Sarona. So that not a problem. I was just wondering which one is a better quialty. So thank you. Im gonna go with the Sarona BodyKit.

  • how much did the whole kit cost?

  • at least pick a color thats not the color in fast and furious

  • hey bro what color is this? like the brand and name. thanks!

  • Honestly i dont even remember. Its from a chevy aveo, 2008 colors i think. We also used a dark primer that was laying around the shop. Sorry man if thats any help.

  • rt on, I was thinkin all that work. would suck if it cracked out. looks good man!!

  • wrong again, my 10 2SS/RS without a limiter (of course when you remove this capability, you have to re-tune) on a test run in Dallas ran 166.5mph, not at all windy, is it stable? well its not the most aerodynamic thing out there, my vette does 190mph stock however, ive never gone past 145 in it

  • and keep in mind, the only eclipse i saw that i respected was stock on the outside, and 11.87 on the track. the kid was in high school, and knew his stuff, and his father knows how to tune. 98 turbo eclipse gsx or something. new eclipse will never hit 165 and expect it to hold the road.

    period. its like saying a 87 Grand National can handle 150mph stock.

  • what are you talking about?

  • You do no that body filler is going to crack the first time the body flexes on turns and on bumps rt? you guys might want to rethink how your molding the kit to the car.

  • We thought of that problem. I designed steel rods that we heated and flexed to a certain point. We bolted the rods to the frame of the car and then bolted the rods to the kit itself. It actually worked great, for 2 yrs and no stress cracks. Sold the car now though.

  • 1. That does not look good at all

    2. The car is still slow

    3. Body Kits don't add power or speed

    4. The residual value of your car just died (violently)

  • says donkey kong lol Look idk if u realize that we all aren't retarded.. Everyone and they're mother knows that body kits adds no horse power. I know you didn't just call that eclipse slow, a stock (with maybe a tweak or two all under $70) gst or gsx can reach a top speed of 165. I wanna see a camaro do that shit stock.

  • Easy, walk outside to your camaro and remove the electronic limiter using your own equipment. Or if you know a tech mech, just ask him to remove it for free or for $40 bucks. its that easy.

  • sorry bro it they can only hit 153 with no limiter friend had one they have an addtional 100hp of pure bullshit.

  • Comment removed

  • Why do you comment so much on this page dude? lol

  • bitch i aint black im mexican tell me where u live ill fucking get u dont even trip u stupid white bitch u aint more dangerous then me trust me il fucking kill u thats on my hood bithch ass leva dont believe me then try me bitch have u fucking crying like a little bitch and ur family tell me where u live bitch

  • wow

  • @westcaliryda ? calm down

  • k retards, youve established it wont add value but its personal preference for looks

  • bitch get off my nuts it does add value it probably doesnt add value where u live because u live in a rich neighborhood but it does add value so shut the fuck up man u fucking retarded bitch i sware if i knew where u live i would blast u and and ur whole family with ur gay piece of shit car

  • bitch i got a car its a eclipse mothafuckers and i dont need no attention fagget all im saying is ur wrong bodykits do add value u stupid dumb fuck

  • shut the fuck up u just hating on eclipses bitch u probably some little rich white boy bodykits make it more valuable and look better even if it is slow its there car dont hate

  • i never said this i was just proving a point and i said 'special made 1ns' meaning custom made so they are aero dynamic and i wasnt saying this is a carbon fibre 1 i was saying if u can afford a good 1 meaning the carbon fibre or custom ones then you usualy have a tuned up car aswell so it doesnt matter

  • actualy they can help preformance coz u can get special made 1ns to help airo dynamics and stuff and have carbon fibre to save weight + usualy if people can afford to put a good body kit on they tuned the engine and will have a decent car like a skyline but people who do it to cars like ford mondeo's are morons they shud die

  • some create down force no?

  • yeah your right you probly do know more about how i feel and how i think then i do. this conversation is over

  • i dont have a body kit on my eclipse but i am going to put one on it. not because i am trying to impress anybody or because i want it to look faster then it really is or anything like that but becuase i love the eclipse but dont really like the way the body looks. i am going to put a body kit on for ME not for anybody else.

  • ok so if a car has alot of work done to it mechanically and has a body kit on it its ok?

  • actually body kits do increase the resale value atleast some. look on ebay and other sites and youll see they do improve the value. and yes i think that body kits make certain kinds of cars look nicer. how is it any worse then taking a car that has all kinds of scratches and dents and fixing the dents and getting the paint done? it just makes the car look nicer. and who says that just because the body of the car has some work done that it must be a crappy car?

  • so why do you modify your car?

  • Your mom's gay.

    (yeah i went there)

  • Wow that's so rude, its a pretty nice car anyways. I took my pos car and "riced" it up a little even though its a domestic. We do it cause we enjoy the work.

  • this eclipse body style is sexy and very nice looking, my sister has one!! I dont think u need to put all that crap on it tho IMO.

  • Nice i like it

  • very nice. I like how flush you got the rear of the side skirt with the car. dat shit anit easy, lot of work putting a body kit on a gs. The back bumper was a bitch wasn't it hahaha

  • Good looking car, but you ain't drifting anywhere with a FWD car.

  • Do you think im dumb or something, you have to be one of the most ignorant fucks who have commented on this. You must be one of those kids who spend all their money on their car, or dont even have a car, or a future. Im in college now working on my degree and did this just for experience on body work. Did pretty good so fuck off. Thanks

  • idk....i just reccomend after when its done dont use a light color,darker will look nicer with the kit you have

  • I finished this car a long time ago and sold it already lol You can check out some pics and other vids by just putting typing my name in the search bar

  • you failed when you went to the web page to order the thing. or the store. just disgusting. if the stock body wasn't good enough, get a different car. something better, like a Teg

  • fast and the furious_---------now fat and the curious

  • eclipse is forward movement ???

  • Dude ever herd of jdm please look it up you need help that's a torcher to the car it's realy sick in a bad way

  • Dude, I'm really unpleased to say that's a fucking RICER.

  • nice... i paid 3k for mine and its a 96.... did the full convertion an some lil mods...mine right now has 97k on it runs good and when i got it in jaunuary it had 94k... stock rims... am thiknin of puttin it up for 2700 and ill prob. get 2500 lol... am already bored of the car.. :/ the car is very clean... wat u think about the price?!!?!?

  • honestly id have to see the car to tell you what to put it as. I dont look at a car and say what i want for it, i look and say what would i pay for it. there is a difference, what u want and what others will pay. if the body work is good like mine then ask 4000 and have the people take u down like i said. post it on craigslist and say 4000 OBO

  • how much did u pay 4 ur carbon fiber hood!?!?!?

  • i think like 5 or something like that, i dont remember really, i actually just sold the car like a week or so ago.

  • nice.... how much did u get for it!?!?!? how many miles did it have!!? i wanna sale mine also

  • I ended up getting $4,000 for it which sucks because i bought it for 3800, and put like 2 into it. It only had 96,000 miles when i sold it and ran perfect. So make your asking price high, but let people take you down to what u actually what. Its all business man, thats what i major in at school so i know the game lol good luck

  • Shit, ida given you $8,000

  • i concur with BrtshAmerican6

    quite the thing to look at

    gotta love Eclipse

  • sir I have to say, I enjoy the sight of your vehicle.

  • thanks i appreciate it. wish i could do it all over again. it was fun, and i learned a lot.

  • ricer

  • nice, now if you only seen the car before, youd understand. next time before trying to dog someone, make sure u know the facts.

  • not sayin the work your doin isnt good. the car is riced out. the only thing looks wise to my 2g is the paint going on it next week and the rims. everything else is stock. putting body kits and fenders on the car does nothing for performance. all the money i put into mine has been put into the engine and suspension

  • yeah my friends all have motor mods, its just when i got the car it had a kit on it, and the people who installed it fucked everything up. thanks for your input though, its getting sold this month hopefully lol

  • it looks good dont get my wrong. every single one of my friends that have put a body kit on their car had to mod the kit to get it to fit. i personally think it is a waste of time and money. i think the 2g looks good with the stock bumpers. what i did was lower the shit outa mine. tokico blue struts and matrix coils. my motor is the 420a 2.0 stroked out to a 2.3 that project was a never ending battle of finding parts while the bill kept going up and up

  • Oh Shizziiitt , thatll be a pretty hot car once you sand down the bondo and paint it , sweet ride

  • not bad man no spoiler i likey ;) the stock spoiler looks good bu anything else o this car is just takin its beauty away ive owned my gs-t spyder for 6 months now and love it :)

  • Nice body kit, you have any performance mods on it yet? you probably do but just asking.

  • Yeah just cold air intake, cat back exhaust, high performance brake system. Im selling it now. so nothing else is getting added

  • Oh, why are you selling the car?

  • My buddy lives in florida, so im going to visit him during the summer, and buy a gst, or gsx when im down there.

  • Cool, i bought my gst about 2 years ago. I still need to get some parts for it but its getting there.

  • is that the fiberglass reinforced plastic one or the urethane one?

  • my car would smoke that lol . really nice

  • Nice.

  • U need some Rims and tires.

    those look kind of stock.

  • nice work man

  • Hi man.I was wondering if you could tell me,from what material is white thing.

    Thanks

  • Everything that is white is made from fiber glass, and the hood is carbon fiber.

  • u a mechanic?

  • LOL no i actually just love cars. Im 19 and persuing a degree in business managment, and a minor in financing. I also play div. 3 college football. I plan on opening my own shop when i get out of school. If you have any questions about cars though ill probably know it. thanks

  • cool i'm 16 and hoping to learn about cars to mod my own cars one day. Going to college to become a cop/swat
