Silver05GT said:I have one thing to say about the kits, I like the thalon thats my favorite if your going to build an eleanor body kit which is based off the 67 eleanor from gone in sixty seconds than build it to look like it. My problem with the other kits are very minuscal, cervinis, blow by, and ronaele all give off a little too much of the ricer appeal which isnt something I enjoy to get out of a muscle car. And the other issue is that blow bys kit doesnt use the lip spoiler from what I can see it still uses the GT spoiler which doesnt really flow with the rest of the kit. The next problem i have with the kit is the fact that they all use the same rear bumper and have the cut outs for the rear dual exhaust and expect you to use them when eleanor has side exhaust and I think that it should have a capped rear bumper with no cutouts which the Thalon Design appears to have. And then like you said the the kit needs to have a gap in the front bumper to look authentic where the fog lights are located. Im not trying to offend anyone and I think that all the kits look the very good and I was at one time very interested in the blow by kit until I realized there were a few things I wanted it didnt have. Thalon Design has a kit that looks very unique to the rest and very clean and smoothe flowing. The problem with the other three is they all look the same or very similiar. And how do you know the cost of the Thalon if its not out yet and I havent seen any pricing posted anywhere. Well anyways thats just my opinion, my theory has always been if your going to build something build it right.

does it really matter how many posts he has, so if he had more posts you wouldn't complain about him?J666Z said:it's funny how this EBONCEO guy only has one post... and how his one post was to heckle the kit on my car.
True but if you want to call it an 2005 eleanor, you should stick with the orginal looks otherwise its just another mustang GT with a body kit. and about it not being worth it thats not true, if you want something done right you have to put something extra to it in this case more money(or atleast thats what you keep on saying about the thalon). Your opinion says its not worth it, i say it worth it, everyone has his opinion. "quality not quantity"J666Z said:I'll admit, that the thalon one looks almost identical in the front. But does everyone realize that the kit is not available, and that when it is availble there is going to be so much body work that it IMO wouldn't be worth doing.
If I wanted to do an identical ELEANOR car, I would have done it on a 67 fastback, not on a 2005.
Plus converting an orginal mustang fastback 67-78 to an eleanor replica would require "so much body work" and "sections of the car have to be modified and cut, then you still gotta have it painted".J666Z said:Blow-By's and Cervinis and even ronaele's are all WAY better then that thalon kit simply b/c
A: they are available
B: they are resonably priced
C: they are easy to install
Before you know it, that $4500 body kit is going to cost over $10,000.
B/c it now has to be molded to the car, sections of the car have to be modified and cut, then you still gotta have it painted... But this is all just my opinion.
