I would definately be interested in a ram air hood designed like a '98-02 T/A WS-6. That would look killer!

Tell me about it, I rub almost on every parking lot that'* not street level.

If you do the bumpers you also need to do the moldings on the sides. Otherwise it doesnt line up right and will look like crap.

I am trying to get a kit with the lines of the bonneville...not a ricer! like I said before lower stance and beauty! In the works on some drawings and ideas are apprecited at this point. The base price will be under a grand and if we get a group order than it is looking around $600! Thanks for keeping this going while I'm in NC! Having a ball and hope to have some drawings next week!

$600?! That would be great. I'm pretty sure I would buy one for that price. Can't wait to see those sketches.

The front fascia is the only part of the eclipse we were thinking of using! I really do not want it to look like a ricer! I want to go with the lines the car already has! Don't most of you agree that we should build american cars to defend the ricer craze? Any ideas on rear spoiler, styling accessories, air hood, rocker panels, front/rear fascia, etc? Let me know.....all ideas are appreciated! Myself...I think the rear spoiler should stay! Ram air hood will probably be seperate to keep the cost down! Aed already is working on kit, but it is ricey and expensive! Hopefully more of you will get some votes in, so we can have a kit we can all enjoy and afford!

Do you have a link to AEDs kit? I'd be interested in at least checking it out.

Remember that you still need to vote even if you are just interested! I just need people to show they are interested even if they can't afford it at this time!
