Here is the car that the paint guy has in the shop currently...if I get my shit together, I will be the next one... it was ironic that it was an eclipse!

Check out the hood scoop (??) I don't know but this kid was creative I guess. He got some sort of blitz kit and did some bondo work that was creative. To finish up he will have an aerospeed aluminum wing that I spotted out back.

Now I just gotta figure out what kit I should get(cheap) before I paint.

WOah looks like a crater went through his hood hehe. That's the strangest looking hood scoop I've seen.

i like the way he did the side skirts contuning them onto the door that looks good...

Yeah...the kid did all the body work and then brought it to the paint guy... cept the kid fucked up everything pretty much. He used a part from an a/c vent to create the "hood scoop" and then used bondo to try and smooth it out. The paint guy had to undo and redo everything the kid tried to do to the car cuz it was all fucked up.

Although I like his idea of continuing the molded look on to the door from the side skirts.

OOOOOOOOK.....

So does anyone see the big headlight gap????!

What do you think that is from, anyone?



Oh yeah, I have a question...if I got a body kit designed for 97+ would it fit with the 95 headlights and just have a gap, or would it just not fit?

TIA

A LOT of kits have headlight gap like that, even honda kits etc. You would have to have the shop add fiberglass and cut to fill in the gap.

Really impressive in person... the eclipse was shit when the kid brought it in...and this guy did a miracle on it...it looks sooo badass in person man! I helped him work on it for 4 hours today...it is pretty damn badass!

I will post pics later...although they didn't come out very well...don't hardly begin to do it justice.

Yellow is just the shit...wish I could repaint in that color!

That looks sweet. Almost makes me wanna get a body kit and repaint. You know how he did the side skirt thing? And how much would a repaint like that cost?

bwaaa haa haa...the "hood scoop" is really a cupholder...it could hold a beer for him at 75+ mph

That cost the kid about $700...it's a single stage PPG or whatever it's called. Sides are done by the kid himself...with bondo. However I he is probably going to crack the molded shit pretty fast....the bumper is already starting to give and I can see the crack forming. I'm not going to mold anything on my kit...but I am doing the door moldings since that was my idea originally a long time ago. I'm glad that he implemented it so that I know how to do it. hehe
