#99170, ""Eclipse" Lettering and Headlights" Jun-13-07 08:51 PM by Shadow2877
Im looking at differnt options for the exterior of my car, I have already decided to go back to the stock body with a pearl white painted shell but I am starting to look into differnt headlight and possible taillight options for the car. My questions are the following:
1) Anyone know where I could get the "Eclipse" lettering for the rear lights?

Dealer for lettering?
Those lights are the same as found on ebay only they are asking twice as much on that site. They are not PNP. You have to do some wire swapping. The hardcoat on the lens exterior will start to peel after about a year.

I think the lettering off an 06+ would look better and also be different. Probobly the only thing about a 4g I can honestly say I like lol. This is what I plan on doing once I get my car painted.

that lettering might work, gonna be dealer only. if you like those lights I have em too, ebay them for half the cost, get some clearmask put on em or just spray them with a good clearcoat to seal the lenses from delaminating. they come WAY out of aim and it works best to just sit in a dark parking lot and aim them where you like them, the garagedoor/wall trick won't get them anywhere near a decent aim. I'm looking at possibly doing a HID retro like AzDave did, his site http://www.rcaz.com/default_automotive.htm has a ton of useful info.

Someone already did it on Tuners years ago and it looked like piss.
Cody, I have a stock centerpiece sitting here (1.5 hrs away), but the letters aren't chrome anymore, they're just kind of dull. You can always recoat it if you want. Let me know if you want it.
