A. Keep in mind your area if your going for a full body kit.
B. Can you afford to replace parts that get scrapes/chips.
Honestly you can have whatever you want its your car. I had a full body kit on my 00 eclipse and it looks quite nice. However you will scrape if your lowered and you dont know the area well. When i drive the eclipse i have to avoid certian locations and make sure i enter certian parkinglots from certian entrances. If you willing to do all this and either replace what gets scraped or deal with a scruffy looking car then by all means go for it. Im not here to impress my own opinions about how I feel a body kit would look on the S2K its your car i hope you enjoy it for what you want.

just ignore these haters
drive slowly and at angle on the speedbumps
use the stock jack in the back to lift the car, then at the appropriate height use a hydraulic jack. always use jackstands on teh sides whenever working with the car.

and i agree with the above...i have a 1 finger gap all the way around and it still has 3.5 inches of clearance in the front which is good enough for most driveways...just no speedbumps of course

They mean the gap between the tire and the fender. If you have a body kit on a stock suspension it looks like a 4x4 or something to me. Pass on the body kit please. The best thing you can do is get an all stock s2k and add things such as OEM front lip, ect. I was a senior in high school when I got my s2k. I also have mountain speed bumps where I live but if you just take it easy and go at an angle you will have no problem. Thats why im keeping my stock susupension for a while. Good luck!
