I like the front. The back doesn't seem to fit the car though, it looks out of place. Also, please lower your car.

The rear looks like butt and you need to be lowered.

Methinks you need better pix.

Color looks hawt, front looks cool, dont like the sides cuz I have em and dont like them, and the rear just looks.... weird.

I don't like your choice of kits. They do not seem to flow together to well. The front lip looks kind of nice though. If I were you I would have gone with that front lip, 97-99 side skirts, 97-99 rear bumper, and a turbo wing. I went to Earl Sheib when I first got my 96 GS and I told them to take that stock wing off and fill the holes before repainting the whole car.

errr...ummm.....ehhh...ummm. hmmmmm

no offense but it DOES look like you just blindly picked a whole bunch of very different kit peices and put them on. my vote? return it back to stock minus the headlights, drop it..call it a day. there are FAR too many flat spots and edges on that car. look at any eclipse and youll see flat just does not flow.

but hey, its your car, do with it what you will. but you did ask for opinions..and to be honest..i vote 5 of 5 :puke :puke :puke :puke :puke

not a bad idea. Are those some kind of jet exhaust vents on the back or something? horrible.

Luke, I am your bumper!

EDIT: I love the color! I've said this before in other posts, I'll say it again: It's your car, if it makes YOU happy then go with it.

Everybody is partial to their own thing, some go to make the car unique, which you did very well (I noticed a bend/curl in the front bumper below the passenger side headlight), some like me prefer stock.

Yeah, I'd tell you to lower your car also, but I won't because I have not either.

HOLY SHIT!!!!1

That is the most fuckered up rear bumper ever. What a disgrace to the sexy ass of a 98+ Eclipse.

Horrible. Just friken horrible.

Burn it like you said. Save yourself the trouble of dealing with assholes like me who'll make fun of your car.

I like the rest though :thumbsup

J Lo rear bumper. :)

Posted by eclipse982nrRST, Jan-19-06 01:13 AM
thats a horiffic rear bumper.
91906, RE: my car wit kits and paint!
Posted by flamineclipse, Jan-19-06 01:48 AM
I'd ditch the rear bumper, drop it, put on a turbo spoiler and call it a day. I really like the color, it's very nice.





Oh, you don't like altezza's? Too bad, your gonna get a good look at mine.

holy shit. Man, you owe me a new keyboard and jeans since i puked all over them after i saw that rear bumper. Horrible choice man. Whoever designed that should be shot. Change the rear bumper and lower it and it will be OK.
:puke

You'll definitely be able to hit the 10's with that kit... if not, you might need some more underglow sticks.

I like it, at least it makes everyone elses car look that much better because now when i look at my car and see something i dont like i will always think.... it could be worse!
