Default Going for the clean ride

Hello fellas and ladies if there is any viewing, I have a '99 RS daily driver,
Im not doing anything performance wise to it because i don't race much but I
want to give it the GSX/GS-T look. I am going to order the Turbo Spoiler next week.
I would get the GS-T wheels if i can get a good deal on them. If anyone has knowledge on
where to get the stock 2g side skirts please let me know. I tried junkyards but there is barely
any 2g Eclipse's there [good driver's]. Im going to paint the door handles in my auto body class
so that's going to be taken care of, Is there anything else I can do on the exterior to make it
look sleek. I've seen some of the front lips and they look good but I don't see them too much
on the Eclipse's I see on the road. I have some pics of my RS, I want it to look clean and
stock. Also the center taillight where the "Eclipse" was instead of painting it I want to put
"Swift" there with the same type of chrome emblems, you guys think I can pull that off without
it looking stupid?? I would lower my car but where I live that's not going to happen with those
pot-holes.

You could try the stealership, or maybe ebay for the skirts... I wouldnt do that "swift" thing in the back... maybe as a banner across your windshield or something. But I think it would be a bit hard to make look good in the back there...

That's what I was thinking, I would problaby spend too much time on it. My fiance' even
said I would get tired of it and eventually take it off [which she is problaby right]. Would
you paint the center piece or leave it stock?

So do I, that's why im notgoing to screw it up with a huge-vented
body kit or a nail clipper wing. I have even seen people mount another
spoiler on top of the 3-piece spoiler I have. Im sorry but that's just defines
the word stupidity.

Yep, we call them nailclippers, Benchs, Iron boards or lawnmower, if it has a fart can
push it across your lawn from the wing.
