71438, What do you all think about this theme?
Posted by drifted_eclipse, Apr-26-04 08:10 PM
Reminder, this is for a show car/weekend cruiser.

Ok with the exterior I think i am either going with a House of Kolor Tangelo or Lambo Orange for the paint. Invader c/f hood, c/f tails, shaved door handles, v-line wing from a 2000+ eclipse, nsx vents molded into the quarter panel, z3 fenders, molded drift body kit, shaved antenna, lambo doors, 19" rims in gunmetal w/ polished lip, either lowered 1.5" or on airbags, c/f projectors with an HID kit, blue underbody neons, and a relocated gas cap behind the license plate.

With the interior, going with everything being fiberglassed. The top half of the interior is going to be the same color of the exterior. The bottom half is going to be BMW metallic black. (I mean how people usually do the two toned interior with the dash and upper door panels one color, and the bottom half another color.) Orange carpet, c/f headliner, black racing seats with orange harnesses, no back seats, custom fiberglassed rear of the car with 2 JL 12w7's with two JL 1000x1 amps, pioneer headunit with built in motorized screen, two tv's in the visors, one molded into passenger side airbag, and one that flips down from the hatch. Nitrous bottle mounted in the rear with the subs.

Performance I only think that im going with a Stage 3 HRC turbo kit. I already have forged internals from the last rebuild, so i guess i should just get a stage 2, and i also have my nitrous kit, A lot of polished, powdercoated, and chrome engine accents, and a couple more just "bolt-on" parts.

Ok all that being said to give you a visual, what do you all think? I want honest opinions on all this, and if you have any other suggestions, feel free to express them. woot!

your car is going to look just like the eclipse that won Battle of the imports in Dinwiddie,VA last year. You described his car to a T. The only thing you left out that he has that you didn't mention is the rollcage. The color, bodykit, fiberglass, hood, rims, air, and everything else he has. You will be twins.

Yep Mike, that is the one I was refering too. Thanks for pulling the pic for me bro. See what I mean man. His CF hood had the candy paint misted on it so it looked like a orange CF hood.

Yea i changed my mind about that wing, and the paint. Its still going to be orange, but also black. Im going wingless btw. I'm sure all of you have played NFS Underground. Ok go on there and pick an eclipse, hook it up, then paint it orange. Go to the 2nd layer of vynal and pick body graphics. Pick number two so it turns the back of the car a color, then change it to black. Then go to the first layer of vynal and pick tear graphics, then go to the ones that look like claw marks toward the back of the car, then turn those orange. Thats the paint im doing for the car lol
