subyrally Posted May 2, 2004 Share Posted May 2, 2004 just wondering, do you think it would be possible to graft a mitsu eclipse body kit onto a 1986 rx? i know i would have to cut and bend the fenders to fit, prolly be wider at the bumpers. im asking cause i found a perfect body kit on some ricer eclipse at a junk yard, the kit doesnt even have a scratch on it, my guess is that the motor went on it. but do you think it would be worth the time? it would be kinda cool to see a rx with a modern twist to it. i prolly shoulda took pics of the car.

carfreak85 Posted May 2, 2004 Share Posted May 2, 2004 My guess is that you're gonna have to cut the bumper to make it narrower. Cutting will be required, and lots of bondo or fiberglass. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
subyrally Posted May 3, 2004 Author Share Posted May 3, 2004 yay for bondo!!!!!, hey it could work though, i dont know where i would get the $ for it though Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
carfreak85 Posted May 3, 2004 Share Posted May 3, 2004 I say go for it! If you don't like it, just put the factory bumper back on and sell the kit to some dope for his 91 civic or something! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
suba Posted May 4, 2004 Share Posted May 4, 2004 Anything is possible!.....especially if you happen to have a sawzall and bulk supply of duct tape! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
subyrally Posted May 5, 2004 Author Share Posted May 5, 2004 hurray for duck tape and bondo, w00t!!i think i should go for it, but first, who wants to make a donation? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gregg Posted May 10, 2004 Share Posted May 10, 2004 I've been thinking of adapting either a 'Lude or Supra kit to my XT... the 2nd gen (88-91) 'Lude has a kit by Kaminari that is identical to the one Kaminari used to make for the XT (but the bumper cutout is on the wrong side). Supra skirts fit an XT without cutting, so I figured a 2nd gen Supra kit would work also. Depends on which is cheaper, lol. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

svxpert Posted May 10, 2004 Share Posted May 10, 2004 not to hijack the thread but i have a new Kaminari kit waiting for an owner to take off my hands. i figure it might be easier than fabricating one. if anyone is interested, mail me at: subarueast@yahoo.com Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
