It looks roughly 5,000 times better without that stupid decal.

Yeah it is, very nice man. What i dont understand is why the skirts are just slapped on. just doesnt flow imo. Still very nice, but that would just bring it to the next level, especially if your going to show it like that.

Oh, and those are the headlights i just ordered, but it seems they are tough to come by.

And as for the rims, i like the ones you have, but definitley the Second ones if you change.

Looks reallyt nice without the decals, and I'm not too partial to the side skirts (though I'm not big on kit's at all :shrug ) but I'm gonna say, go with the shiny man. If they have a polished aluminum, not chrome plated, go with that, the brighter the better. This isn't my normal stance, but I think it would fit your car.

BTW, props on the wingless, don't change that a bit :thumbsup

i agree, mold the skirts and get rid of the decals for an even nicer looking car. i dont normally like yellow on eclipses but yours looks pretty good. as far as the rims are concerned, i think that your current ones look very nice with the car already so you dont need to change them. if you are set on chaging them though, go with gunmetal.

If I purchased your car from you as is, I would first remove the tacky decal. Remove the M3 mirrors and put color matched factory mirrors back on & color match the centerpiece between the taillights. Then I'd ditch the Blitz high-rise skirts and put low-rise skirts on... keep the rims.

Edit:
Didn't even realize the banner on the windshield, remove that too.
:thumbsup

I say go with the gunmetal. Nice clean ride too man. I have to agree and say lose the decal, ruins the whole look of the car. I would get a turbo spoiler too, I'm not a fan of wingless but it isn't my car.

One question, what is that poking out the fornt of your bumper? Looks like a camera or something.

Did you change your front bumper between shots? Maybe it's the angle of the shot.

I'd keep the wheels you already have.

No they are two different bumpers, compare



I agree with what everyone else said... decals got to go, gunmetal rims for sure.

oh, and i like the first bumper better, but they both look nice

man, i can't wait to shave my wing, I love 2gs wingless

Ok, that's what I thought. I like the first one.

that is a nitrous sylenoid (sp?) for a fogger kit the bad thing about the graphic is its airbrushed on i dont really like it but i am redoing the car with a yellow cf hood and hatch bomex 2 front bumper and posibly diffrent sides not sure, the color is ferrari flame yellow and is very hard to match so i will be repainting the whole car this comming winter more than likely. as sad as it is to say the car wins 5000 times more shows with the airbrushing than without it so it will stay for now i will update this post with pics of the motor as soon as i put it back in its been completely rebuilt with performance parts and powdercoated block and tranny just need to put it back in

i did change the front to the jt evo 5 and changed the rear to the BC2

the wheels will be for sale soon there 18" kosie pentas no curbage and perfect tires

How much are you looking to get for your rims when you get new ones?

You don't like using all your lug nuts? Leave those wheels on, lose the vinyl and you'll be good.

Definitely need some molding action on the skirts. Looks good though.

Minus the "Super Soaker" ad on the sides of your car.

I like it best in the first pic, through in a c/f hood and ditch the kumho's if you get new wheels. I saw the car at hot import nights in atlanta, I don't care too much for the front, although I've like the evo front for a while, almost went with it, the new one looks like someone tried to build it out of clay. Other than that it looks good, like the color, and like everyone else, minus the graphics.

Nice and clean show car man. I prefer the gunmetal rims with the deep polished lips.

looks hot in the first two pics i think, don't care for what it looks like currently.

I agree with the majority on the decal. I personally would get those rims you are looking at in bronze with a polished lip and if not bronze I say black. I just love the way bronze looks with yellow.

Other then that I like the older sensi front to that new one. And if your showing I would mold the sides like CustomGS said.

Nice looking car BTW...what all do you have done performance wise?
