84269, New paint job pictures = Quiz for you!
Posted by siueclipse, Apr-23-05 06:45 AM
Ok... Some people on here said I needed to change something with my car (paint wise), I decided to do it. Can you tell what changed color?

Also, I have made some minor adjustments to the car, see if you can tell what I did. I did 2 things in different areas of the car. Keep in mind that this is a 99 GS 10th Year Aniv. OZ Edition.

More pictures are at www.gsturbo.com/james

Here is a picture before.


Here are some after pics. Ill take some pictures outside if it would stop raining.

I thought your car looked good before.

But now, its just plain fucking out of this world man.

And I just want to say that I hate you for already doing every mod I want to do to my car already (I hate being broke)

I would tell you to keep up the good work, but your work my friend, is complete

I think it would look even better with black taillight covers or the spray shit(although I think it looks purpleish).

Did you smoke the headlights too or are they just foggy?

The taillights do look pink in the picture but they are dark red in reality.

I haven't done anything to the front headlights.

Right now, im outside repainting my calipers black and the door sills black.

Your car looks great, man, but leave those brake calipers red. A little color never hurt anybody.

it doesn't appear to be tinted, or do you mean that little strip at the top?
84325, RE: New paint job pictures = Quiz for you!
Posted by EclipseTenzoR, Apr-25-05 04:15 AM
The fronts looked tinted, but maybe its just because the picture is dark.

You confused me because you said "is" instead of "are"... "is" is used when you are talking about a single window... but then you had an s on windows so it was a 50/50 chance of what you were actually talking about so I just guessed you meant the windsheild... lol my bad

the front side windows are 40% i believe.. not too dark but enough to make it blend with the back windows better.

He was being sarcastic. He just doesn't want anybody else to do it.

edit- there's somebody on this board with a black Eclipse with blacked out taillights in there sig that looks really good.

Looks good james, alot better!

the guy with the vette side pipes has blacked out tails, thats reason enough for me not to do it... j/k and i think the wing is what throws off djtrickee's car with the blacked out tails but just the center being black with the tails being red is perfect!

my tails are ALMOST blacked out...they're the fake cf look altezzas, and once I can manage to get ahold of some VHT nightshade I'm gonna put one coat on 'em to darken 'em even more...

So the answer to the quiz is....

1. I removed the rear windshield wiper.
2. I removed the front windshield wiper juicers.
3. I painted the front girl black rather than red.

If you guessed all three, then you won yourself a door price. Contact wheresmybaseball@retard.com

That is all.
