Agree. Sorry that front body kit is not working, stock would have looked better. The drop and rims are great. What is up with all of that fake CF looking **** nasty. Also take off the stupid rear light plastic things, ugly. Also with all the mods you have done and only running low 15? high 14? You can acheive that with a stock v6 3g. Goodluck with the rest of the project.
Forgot why have a bodykit and not put on any sidskirts that match the car? The stock skirts are way too short and I think it's making your car look funny.

i dont see the front being that bad i think it flows with the car quite well as for the rear im putting the stock with a lip on i did the front becuase everyone does a stock look with a lip kit i dont want to be like everyone else.
the fake cf no 1 has done that and its something different also i dont think its to much at all.
as for the time my car was not tuned i had a small turbo setup on my car.
with the new setup i should be in the 13's if not high 12's i hope.

bwracing00, I remember you from EclipseForums.
I hate to say it, but I never was much for the group-buy body kit. It needs side-skirts...BADLY!
You will find that people on here aren't much for I.C.E. or showy mods. I recognize the attention to detail that you have, all the same. I just don't understand why you spend tons of money on these little modifications and don't focus on the big ones that are apparent to everyone. The wheels have got to go. I would recommend that you return the bumpers to stock and buy a WW or ShineStreet lip kit. The best looking Eclipses out there have them. ICEMANRLD had the WW kit. HIJACKER's Eclipse had the WW kit. If I hadn't stripped my Eclipse down to stock and called that project a day, I would have purchased a used WW kit in Orlando. They are cheap and can be found. At least look into it.
