I had mine painted by the body shop when they filled the holes. He didn't charge me extra.



You can pick up the ECLIPSE letting from the dealership and put it on yourself. Just make sure it's centered right and that the I goes right under the keyhole. I'm planning on keeping it letterless though.

Nah, it comes with adhesive backing. Just peel it and stick it on.

cost me like 75 cause fucking gayass maaco fucked it up and did the wrong damn color and wouldn't fix it caus they are pieces of shit lousy fuckheads that shouldn't be allowed to be near a bucket of paint unless they are painting walls in bathrooms..stupid fucks. but anyways..i took it to a professional body shop and they fixed it all and had to sand down the old paint and re-primer it and shit..cost me like $75.. i too didn't put back on the eclipse letters..instead i bought a TURBO emblem and put that on instead.

I was cruisin cardomain one day and saw that someone left the eclipse letters on and painted over them. It looked pretty cool cause it had a 3d effect. I don't know if you would have to sand the letters or anything, but I think it looks good and will probably do that after we get the C/F altezza's (which will be a long time cause were gettin all the performance/functional thinds done first).

Wow, that looks pretty good Vinh. The stupid idiots that painted my car did a pretty crappy job on the centerpiece. You can see drips where the clear coat ran a little bit. I'm thinking geesh, I could have probably done a better job myself. emoji
