93969, Exterior in progress
Posted by 2geclipselamboed, Apr-30-06 06:31 AM
ok well i decided to keep my car and still bought the integra that i posted about earlier. So since i have a daily driver i am striping the eclipse. Some of the things i am doing...

baer brakes big brake kit
lowering it 2 more inches
selling the z3 fenders for F-1 fenders
having a roof scoop molded in
taking off the wing for a carbon fiber hatch
molding in rsx taillights
blacking out the windows
nsx air ducts (if anyone knows where to find them please let me know)
and 2 tone paint black on top, and ferrari yellow on bottom

if anyone has any ideas let me know, i want to do a couple things different i haven't seen on a eclipse before but not make it too goddy or too much of a show car because i still want to drive it

if you don't want it "goddy" then cross out the f-1s for stock fenders, leave out the roof scoop, screw the rsx lights. And I dunno about the nsx scoops either

yeah i thought about leaving out the roof scoop and just have a sunroof put in but i don't want a pop up one i want an electric one, just don't feel like paying 800 bucks to have on put in. i still want to do the rsx tails though because i haven't seen another eclipse with that done all i see is supra tails

hmm yea those look GREAT with the curve of the rear fenders, fit perfect.... ummm you don't wanna spend 800 on an electric sunroof but you will pay to have a fiberglass pointless scoop molded into your roof, don't see it being much cheaper in the long run unless you do it yourself, and it will cost more later down the road when you realize how ugly it is and have to take it back off.

I like those z3 fender inserts on the rear bumper pictured above...
Those tail lights are fucking uglier then hell.

And if you ant a roof scoop, I have one I will sell you for $50 shipped, it has the big front duct and 2 small ducts in the back of it.

I don't see why you would want a roof scoop. Anyways, I'm sure optikal would know where to get some NSX vents. He has MR2 vents on his personally.

yeah i like the siliva tails, i thought about doing the headlight conversion for one, or the is300. i will look around and see what catches my eye, i am in no hurry to just throw it together and be done with it

They've got the vents in fiberglass and carbon fiber. Not really my thing, but good luck.

I don't think the nsx vents look bad. Here is a pic of them on Jeremy's car (Aggression)

goddy = rsx tails
goddy = f1 fenders
goddy = nsx scoop
goddy = s13 lights


air brush a dragon on the hood or some crap like that or just paint your last name on the door and call it a day

haha.

EDIT:
Suppost "gotti" would have worked too, since gaudy and gotti are one and the same...

To the OP... sounds like you just want to buy 1 of everything on ebay and slap it all on the same car. Its going to look horrible. Well, more than it already does. Might as well put 2 roof scoops on it since noone has done that yet and put some roof scoops on the sides and maybe on the hatch too.
