57949, What do you guys think of my ride?
Posted by JwadeClipse, Sep-24-03 06:04 PM
I am only 17, so I have gotten as much as financially possible done to my eclipse. It was actually a talon, but has a tranny+engine from an eclipse. So pretty much all that is talon on it is the frame. Originally all black, all but top painted white with bodykit.





some mods:

Full Blitz Body kit, sides molded on.
18" Omni Concept 7 spoke Chrome rims
18" Kuhmo tires.
White w/CF sides double deck APR spoiler
AEM Cold air
Blue Street Glow underbody kit
And more I just cant think of right now.

Hopefully I will be getting a CF hood and some 4-1 headers soon.
And I will be having it painted either Artic blue, or Neon Blusma sometime this winter.

ditch tha wing, paint your center tailight peice, and get ridda those mitsu symbols on the back and you got yourslef a nice ride:thumbsup

P.S.: eclipse's and talons have the same motor anyway as long as it is a corresponding model

hey man thanks. Your ride is very nice.

Luckily I have an uncle who owns a customizing body shop, so I get my stuff done cheap.

looks nice bro, i like the kit and rims, im curious as to why you kept the top black? i think it would look much better white and like others said, i'd lose the big wing, but other than that its looking nice!

I kinda felt it was gonna be too white if I had it all painted white. Plus I wanted to have my own little custom touch to it.

i love it, where did you get your front bumper from? i need a new one. i love the black top too. much props man, last year when i was 17 my car looked alot like that


please keep it white. all you need to do is lower it and it will be awesome. also tint your taillights black with some tint spray from pepboys. it will look 10x better. trust me i did it

yeah i know im a *hijaking * fool :)

Looks good. The diamond stars and the altezza's are not my style, but still much props for the car. What's the link to your car domain site?

Gotta say I love the two tone of the talon style paint.

I think that ride is sweet as it is! I like the two tone black and white color you have goin on. Don't get it painted any other color because of two reasons 1) You'll never get crap for it when you try to sell it later 2) the ride looks sweet as it is. Save yourself a couple grand for a good paint job and get a greddy header and CF hood and a few other items. Great ride!

It looks good except for the wing, altezzas, and mitsu emblems. Like others said, keep it white.

car is sick. the only things I'd do is ditch the mitsu emblems, lower it, and paint the center tail light. I'm a fan of the spoiler! However I think it would look a lot better with a tubro spoiler or maybe the GTR spoiler

Yup, I agree with everyone else about painting the center tail light and ditching the mitsu emblems on the rear and maybe the spoiler isnt too bad. I like what you did to the side skirts. The black top looks sweet and original, not too many ppl have that. Just b/c your 17 doesn't mean anything. If you have free time, work!!!. Your parents most likely pay for all your need. Just save and mod. Don't buy clothes, shoes, or fast food. Just save for your Dsm!!

Thanks all for the constructive criticism. Only thing I kind of noticed is that most of you are giving me suggestions that will basically make my car look like thousands of others. I kinda want to keep it's originality somewhat. I know too many with gtr/terminator/etc. spoilers.

And for the record, I work at best buy, so I DO have a job.

And the main reason why I want to paint it is because I always wanted a badass blue colored car.

And I have CF altezzas that i am going to be putting in soon. And I was actually going to have the center part painted, but when i get the rest of the car painted with it.

I think you did a great job on your ride... keep up the good work man!

Damn, when I was 17... I was fixing up a 1974 Honda Civic CVCC, hahahaha.... :)

Thanks man.

It get's kind of annoying being asked when I am going to be throwing headers/cf hood/projectors and all this other mumbo jumbo on it.

They fail to realize that I am still trying to finish high school.
