What do you think about 18" Giovanni Corsica's on an eclipse? I put it on the computer at Cartronix in houston on Hwy. 6 and they looked bad ass! I made the car yellow though. What is your opinion of mirror tint? We can get tint here done for around $80, they do it as dark as you want, but if its less that 35% you wont get a receipt. Cops here dont have the tint gun things, so thats not a problem here. but dont think about driving around beltway 8 with some dark ass tint, my friend got busted 3 times in one week by the same cop for tint and loud music at the tollbooth. Also, whats your opinion about the brushed aluminum dash kits?

haven't seen that set of rims before so can't rate em. that's cool about the mirrors cause no one here will do that. a brushed aluminum dash kit would be cool but about 200 for it(that's what the shops here charge). but it'd be tight.

im notmuch for tint.. just did mine because when i bought my car the back window was all nastyy..


i like dash kits.. i want one but reasons not to get it i dont feel like explaining.. lets just say lots of painted int pieces..
go to ebay u can get them for like 120 bucks

the rims if you can get me a pic of your car and a pic of the rims i can prob photoshop them onto your car.. (or a car like yours since its stock... its a more realistic pic of them

give us a pic of the rims.. people like me dont know any of the names of any of the rims. hehe.. as for the tint, i think it would look pretty good, what color is your car? i loved my tint, but got hit up by the police. and ive always wanted a dash kit, but didnt want to spend the cash. so i went the painting route too. it looks great and the cost is like 10-20bux. just my two pennies

i need my window tint redone on my back window.


I would not get 18s girlie....not on these tx roads...ugggh. I would recommend getting 17s anyway because the tires are cheaper that way, too.

here is a link to the rims I love them! they look kinda like the Rio's, but I like these better. Cartronix on Hwy, 6 in houston usuallys gives a good deal on them. http://www.dubz4you.com/giovanna/CORS.htm
and here is a link to a pic of my car, i dont know why its still on the website though...oh well! i own it! LOL :)http://houstonusedautos.com/cgi-bin/webdata_autos.cgi?fid=1011140644.64522&query=City%3D%26Make%3D%26Price%3D%26Model%3Declipse%26Year%3D%26Body%2BStyle%3D%26Dealer%3D%26cgifunction%3DSearch%26pagenum%3D1%26cgisort%3D1%26cgisortorder%3D0&cgifunction=form

Aw Jason, your so gentlemanly (is that even a word?) to host her pic :P. Don't worry about the 18" or 17" just get the rims you want. Though it makes a difference you suspension and tires is what really counts. I have 17s and my ride is rough as heck. Joe's got 18s and it feels better than mine. It's probably cause my tires suck big time (I will reiterate ... DO NOT GET BFGOODRICH SCORCHERS) and he has prokits, and I have sportlines.

Where on HWY6 is Cartronix? I live off of it and I don't think I've ever seen it.

the price of those rims made me want to faint/die/crawl into a hole and lay in a fetal position.

The sticker was $15,995. They were having a Christmas sale, the guy that sold me my car said mr. gillman told them that had to get rid of all the cars that were left, and they were taking about any offer that people gave them. The price was supposed to say $13,995 on the net, i printed the page out and got it for $10,000. We put $1500 down. so my payments are only $319. no, it wasnt wrecked before. we did a carfax report on it before we bought it. There isnt anything wrong with it, except a scratch on the passenger side when was put there saturday night but i am really too embarrased to tell yall how it got there, cause its really private lol :7 just say someones truck door was banging repeatdly into my car hahaha! good thing my friends BF works at a bodyshop huh! :7
