it looks good to me. the first pic doesn't do the paint any justice. maybe u shoulda painted the mirrors too, just to make it flow better. i think its the wheels that are throwing off the look of the car. its just me though.

I think it looks great! But, I would definately get the mirrors painted. Can't see it in the pic, but did you get the foglight covers painted, too? If not, take those and the mirrors and get them painted to match! You are in definate need of springs and rims! Love the color!

Well, I couldn't really tell it was lowered either. But the paint is sweet. Like the color a lot. Now put some polished 17's or maybe 18's on it and that thing will rock.

What is the color called? Also take some pics out in the sunlight so it will show up much better looking.

I like it alot! The color is sick, but like everyone else said, it needs rims and it will look much better. I also wanted to see a car like yours w/ the 98 front end, and the talon rear end with an eclipse turbo spoiler. Looks good!

he may just have some 0-4" c/os and have them all the way down and think it's 4 inches . . . but that color is sweet i agree with everyone else in saying the rims and stuff are a must

yeah thats exactly what i have, 0-4 inch coils that I put all the way down. DOesnt that mean 4 inches?? Obviously not... I regret it, so loud and uncomfortable. I should have gotten springs, not coilovers..... Ill never need to adjust them. Oh well.

I dunno what the paints called. It has no name. I got it at Maaco, the WORST place to get your car painted. They fucked up and, amazingly, painted the muffler, over sprayed the car so they hit the mirrors, painted INSIDE the key hole, painted the engine under the front part of the bumper. I guess taping off was to stressful for them. I fixed it all. Word of advice, dont go to Earl Scheib paint. Its cheap but the paint sucks. ANd dont go to maaco, because its cheap but the service sucks. WHat did I expect for $150...... Im still pissed at them for being so damn lazy. Who paints a muffler???

man it feels good to know people like my car since Im always getting so down about it.... I guess i just get to used to it.

Yeah im proud I have a talon and wouldnt have minded having the 97-98 front but the clipse front looked equally as good and the deciding factor that pushed me to the eclipse front was the availability.... The talon bumps just cost to much, since no junkyards had it and Ebay was my only way of getting it cheap online.

Color looks great.. 'I' can tell that it's lowered.. hehe.. i think the 'stock' rims through it off though. but anyways.. looks good.. but take some pictures out side with a nice background for gosh sake! then when you see the result you won't be so worried about your car. hehe.

did you feed your car too much sugar because it looks a little yellow.

Posted by Weezle745, Jun-12-02 06:58 AM
$150 is a good price for what it looks like in the second pic. I like the color of your car. I would get sideskirts before i got rims. But either way, looks very good.

you can't conmplain for only $150. The paint looks shiny and smooth, and nice color. All you need is sides to make it look better. You got an excellent deal. The paint alone for my car cost $800+.

And later on i would suggest CF hood, black or gunmetal rims, and dark tint.

The pictures look good. Just be careful of the quality of maaco paint, it will chip soon, like in a couple of months. But for $150, that ain't a bad deal at all.
