35520, My car shopped and chopped... Posted by 740 turbo brick, Aug-28-08 02:53 PM
Just going to go out and say it first, I didnt do this. I posted it on a local board and a few people did it for me. Im bored and wanted to see what people think of it.

ya know there's plenty of pics of silver 2gs with fmic's and/or cf hoods floating around :D At the minimum I'd say wheels and a fmic to fill up that huge bumper. A drop like the chop is too extreme and the cf splitters are retarded IMO, especially on an otherwise stock bodied car

The last pic is fucking badass minus the headlamp eyebrows.
Brake kit and wheels look nice.

It looks pretty sharp, but it's far from realistic. Consider that getting anywhere near that look with the wheels, tires, and brakes alone would set you back about $9,000. The canards and eyebrows are lamepants.
It looks nice, but it's just not realistic. Some would say to just focus on looks and put subs in it. Maybe you would rather it be sleek and mean and fast? Check the first two posts in this thread. That's hotness. And it's real.
And I know, I know. You come from Volvo country, where it's easy to get excited about actually owning a car which is not shaped like a household appliance, but remember, you've got a 2G DSM now. They're sexy to begin with. It just takes a few subtle tweaks to make a 2G DSM a real head turner. Start with some nice 17" wheels and Eibach Pro-Kit springs. On a silver car like that, you could probably make a set of gunmetal or black wheels work well.

Yeah I didnt really like the splitters or eyelids either. I just thought it was cool what he did with it. Honestly, I agree completely, a 2gb eclipse is sexy as it is, with no other body mods. All I plan for my car is to swap my GST wheels on and maybe lower it an inch or two. Other than that, no body mods. Just more money I can dump into my motor.
