Ok i cant make a decision what to do exterior wise so these are my choices

Eclispe GSX front bumper w/Wings West sides and GTR rear pods...

I like this setup and there will be some modding to make this happen





Then Cuda 2 bumper




Then GT Tech lip




Im interested in doing this, Carbon Fiber wrapping my hatch to match other Carbon Fiber on the car...

I love the mitsu front,but new sides are needed,the ones on now are straight but the bottom is curved,and go with pods..I so wish I had a real cf hatch!,only 1 was made years ago I think.

yeah i already have the GTR pods sitting in the living room right now, i sold off my old ones i had couple years ago...

i to wish i had a real CF hatch, but the best bang for the buck for looks is CF Wrapped...

the sides i was looking at is Wings West, cuz they a pretty sweet and ABS is alwasy a plus seeing i will be using as daily driver for right now

Keep opinions coming

even though i just told you this haha, i think you should go with the cuda 2 kit, makes the car look totally different i think, even though its probably the most expensive out of your choices.

I like the GSX bumper, but to me, it doesn't look right on the Tib.

Maybe it just appears to be FrankenTib because I know that it doesn't belong there.

Have you considered a gk bumper (like Tanc but on a rd2) molded on rather than the eclipse front? Looks pretty similar and plus it's still hyundai smile.gif Also I love the shark wing, and i think it looks great on the rd. I have one right now for my rd2 I just need to find the time to get it on. I know shark wing isn't made for the rd2 but hey it still looks good on it.

If anyone ever really really wants that true CF hatch, you know its always an option. I think for one guy it'll cost him 1000 bucks plus shipping, PLUS the OEM hatch needed to make the mold. Sucks, but those are the numbers.
