I have a 99 rs and I was wondering if someone could point me in the right direction for a body kit.I looked at Godfather customs and didn't see anything I liked.Also,what year of eclipse or talons can I interchange with?

i beleive anything from 95-99 you can fit on your car and style body kits are all about taste, for me i don't like the flashy one's, i like the nice simple one's, but its all up to you. Here is a couple of site just to give you an idea.

you will hear thsi over and over from a lot of people but check e-bay. i have bought ALMOST everything exterior for my car on e-bay and i've been very pleased. my kit came in about 3-4 weeks after i ordered it, it was in great shape but was in 2 colors, which didn't really bother me... but i didn't have to cut, remold, or alter it in any way except dremel off just a tad on the side skirts so that the doors would shut easier... hope this works.

The problem that i have with ebay body kits is that they rarely fit right, you are better off buying one that is specifically for you car. Yes i know that almost all body kits (mainly fiber glass) need to be altered in some way, But the ones on ebay, in my experience have been worse.

I would stay away from all body kits for the 2G and any kit that is fiber glass I would never want to deal with its just a pain and requires tons of work
