Looks pretty badass except for the altezza's. It's even signed by Chip Foose.

it's hideous and absolutely insane at the same time. I'm so confused. LOL

I hate that body kit, quwees or whatever...but all the other work is sick. Somebody is just plain crazy with the air brush. Click the civic link. Not my style, but that person is an artist IMO.

Yuck!! wtf. why do people have to do that to their cars. that is the ugliest body kit on the face of the planet. plus the dash and interior is hideous. Where are the gauges? Could he make the shifter any taller?

B-Fugly!

i think a stock 97-99 eclipse with the turbo wing looks a bajillion times better than that.

wow, you guys are so harsh, its a show car, they're not tuner cars at all, even tho according to the page I believe it has the go to match the show.

The workmanship and originality is insane. The thing that the speakers and tvs are mounted in the back is fucking godly insane, that car is one of the coolest eclipse's I have seen. Would I drive it? Hell no, cuz its not even really a car anymore, its a work of art. Granted art is subjective, but damn

True, but I wouldn't be caught dead standing next to it.

I'm not a "show car" person anyway, I like the stock look. It may be all for show purposes, but come on, that's just plain ugly. I don't care if a million hours were put into it, ugly is ugly.

C'mon guys, you don't really mean that body kit is ugly....I think it was well designed and fits nicely. With a little work someone can make their car look decent with the same kit. I know there are good deals out there too on one of the original kits. Not some knock off cheap crap that isn't going to fit right.

I definately agree with everything you said. It's a "show car". I like all the work done to the car from an artistic point of view. But the only thing that didn't match well on the car was the interior. The dashboard reminded me of the old 1950 cars.

Come on now, Foose is all about originality which is probably why he signed it. Do you think he would sign your completely stock car? No, because it's not original.

It looks like just a bunch of random body ideas put together to make an ugly show car. I understand its a show car, but I don't think any of it flows with itself. The exterior leads you to expect a crazy interior and instead you get this simple, ugly thing. It looks like the design was rushed and not thought out enough. Yes it's a show car, but I don't like it even for that.

ok... this is another car done by the same shop... Original, yes. would you be caught dead it it? i sure as hell wouldn't. In fact the only thing i would sign would to be either to put that car out of its misery, or that shop out of buisness...

all i see is a red x :(
And as for anybody that asks me "Do you think you would ever be caught dead in it?", look at what I used to drive (see sig pic)

if it's ugly, the fact that it's a show car doesn't change anything. that doesnt change the definition of ugly.

just cuz a fat chick is nice, that doesn't make her hot. ugly is ugly.

ok i typed in 2gnt.com and came to this link and did this



AND as above stated...the hatch looks to be gone because of the big humpback for the mega sicc tv's

The interior sucks, I'll agree with everyone there. But the bodykit, in my opinion, is a work of art and nicely done. Its original, it flows, and the paintjob, again in my opinion, is amazing as well. And that setup in the rear with the speakers and the TVs, well thats just the most fantastic thing I've seen out of a fiberglass project. Sure, its not very practical, but damn I love the way it looks.

What would you say if this was the only picture of the car displayed? It's kinda weird though, cuz it has a side skirt skirt

lol i forgot about that, yeah, that is weird... its different, but weird.

Chip Foose has no reason to sign that car. He did no work on it, and it is so far below what he is capable of doing that it pretty much proves that the signature cannot be his.

Also that car is :puke

Agreed. There is no way he signed that car. I respect the amazing air brushing skills on both cars but it's not my style. The only body kit I even remotely like for the Eclips is the Rudora kit (w/ the spoiler to)

I've seen this car in person, at USAC in Kansas City last year, it's not that bad in person, the guy who built it is really cool. The interior had the gauges and stuff when I saw it, and the shifter was as tall.

Posted by eclipse982nrRST, Apr-01-06 01:22 PM
I dont like the front end. The hood is what throws off the whole front I think, just too big.

I dont like the dash at all, just like someone else said above, it looks too like old school hot rod style, just too clean. It doesnt flow well with the exterior.

I dont like airbrush at all on any car, but I do like the candy red paint.

That is actually an amazing show car though and would probably most deff place in every show it enters just for the artistic work involved in it.

Props to the designing and exterior (except for no hatch and the hood) and thumbs down to the interior.
