I have seen that some of the RVR have ground effects kits and heard rumors there is a place in Japan that specializes in aftermarket parts for the RVR, but it is an Japanese only site. I had looked into a place out of Australia also that could export to the USA, but the cost of shipping was twice as much as the parts themselves.
I know the 95-99 eclipse is 172.2" long, 68.3" wide and my 3 door Wagon/Van is 168.5" long, 66.7" wide, how hard would it be to make and eclipse/talon ground effects kit bumper/side skirts fit on the van?

I also found that locating high-performance LRV/RVR parts is next to impossible. Fortunately, there are lots of other Mitsu parts that work!

I know that body kits are a prersonal taste thing, but as a general rule, it defeats the purpose of having a "sleeper" (IMG:style_emoticons/default/smile.gif) .

Personally, I would like get my hands on a RVR front bumper cover, the one that has all the slots for the I/C.

Exactly, the front bumper is really what I'm after. There is no way to put a fmic on a Summit van with the factory bumper and make it hidden. I know this for a fact. To use a fmic you would basically have to notch the backside of the metal bumper in the corners on each side where it curves to get the intercooler to sit in there, and then the whole bottom half of the intercooler would be sticking out in plain sight (and I was using a relatively smaller fmic). Thus why I went with a Toyota Supra TT side mount intercooler, suppose to be able to support 450 hp.

Have you had any luck with your search for RVR front bumper cover? I am getting closer to replacing my front bumper cover and I would love to find a RVR cover for better cooling!

Nope, but to be honest I haven't been looking lately. I've been trying to get some miles on the Van after putting the rebuilt motor/trans back in so I can put the turbo charge parts on. I have found a place that will export to the US from Australia http://www.importmonster.com.au/ , but the problem is the shipping cost is outrageous $200-300 for shipping is just to much. The easiest way would be to find someone in the military stationed in Japan and have them get the parts. I have browsed ebay UK but have never really seen RvR body parts on there.
