Went on pretty smooth, finding a place for the hood pins and drilling the holes was the hard part. Not very sunny out but heres some pics.
Next to come is... New Rims, CF Wangan wing, Stillen front. Then I can start on rebuild and turbo to back it all up.

OMG that is one of the nicest eclipses i have ever seen. that color looks AWESOME matched with that carbon hood. Great Job dude, keep up the good work.

Edit:
P.S. Keep it with no wing on it. i love kitted eclipses with no wings.

The hood looks great, but like ^^^^ said, If I were you, I would get some black housing projectors. You dont have any chrome on your car. You have black or gunmetal rims it looks like and you have a carbon hood which is dark, therefor leading you to get darker housed headlights

Now, for the wangan wing! You got to be kidding!
Do not do that to your car dood, seriously. Its just my opinion, but if I were you, I wouldnt do it. Yes, they are rare, and its cuz they look so funky.

See, now Mike, I like that picture, i must be retarded or something but it looks good to me. If I get enough people yelling at me, then i wont do it. I'll stay wingless. And like i said above, i will be getting different headlights very soon.

I have 3 more payments then this bitch is mine, bad ass motor here I come!

better than some... Greater than most

Paint the hood. Paint the hood. Paint the hood.
Your car flows well and is VERY slick. but i cannot and will not forgive a carbon fiber junky. Paint the hood.

That is all
P.S. that wing sucks too.

I figure since I cant stop fixing the damn thing, I'll just create more problems to work on. The stock pile has begun. Parts PArts PARts PARTs PARTS!!!
I'm a novice listen to what I say and make your own conclusion. If I'm wrong tell me and I will learn. Thanks be to the 2gnt Gods may they grant me turbo and fruits of the Earth. Amen.

If you decide against the Wangan but want some CF back there maybe a carbon hatch...just a thought.

yah the cf hatch is pretty sweet and that is what I plan on getting after my motor is rebuilt. I will be selling my wing too if anyone knows anyone that wants to buy it.

wow that looks soooo nice, idk about the wing but i do think it might balance it out in a subtle way.

Hey you wouldn't happen to have any pics of the hood popped with where you mounted the pins, i just bought the same hood off a board member and i wanna have a clearer idea on mounting the pins (i want them the way yours are)

and don't paint the hood it does match really nice with that color

Erebuni makes a rear lip type spoiler too, but I don't think you can get it in carbon fiber.

Hey, I know what wing would look really good with your car. I can't remember what it is called though. It is low, and flat. Instead of having two vertical mount things on each side of the hatch, it has one in the middle... I can't remember whos I saw that on... it was a dark green show eclipse with a CF hatch and hood and stuff... looked really good.

Either that or wingless! Seriously... both the wanker and the drag style wing look like crap Please please please don't put either of them on. Good luck with w/e you choose though.

No, I wasnt saying get that hood in that pic I posted, I said something along those lines. Smaller/flatter is what I meant.

That Eurobini (sp?) spoiler posted above would look sharp though.

i love that hood and your car pulls it off quite nicely. if i end up keeping my eclipse, ill probably end up getting that hood.

Damn that looks nice. Except the headlights gotta go. I really like that color of your car though. Goodjob.

I am not a fan of the invader hood, but it flows damn good with your body kit, very nice. Yes i agree I dont like the chrome headlights, you should have bought the ones with the black housing, or even better open them up and paint the housing the same color as the car.

I LOVE THAT PAINT COLOR!! could you possibly share what paint color you used with the rest of us? I want to repaint mine a shade or two darker than that, but I really think it looks hot on your ride.

Anyone know anyone who can help me tune this in the Pittsburgh area (Greensburg)?

Very VERY Nicely done! As for the wing? I prefer wingless on our cars. But as said before, go with what YOU want. It is after all your car! And a sweet one it is!

So now at 44 what the hell do I do?

nice car man ,looks good . i would say just paint the headlights the same color as your car .

Thanks for all the compliments guys. I am definitely getting different headlights, but not sure which ones yet. As for the paint, I wish i could tell you exactly how we made it but i cant because i dont know. I'll talk to my guy, but i doubt he'll tell me exactly. Believe it or not I'm actually getting sick of it. It's been this way for three years and about to go through its 4th PA winter as my daily driver. I do know he started with a Metallic Silver and then added Blue and Green to get it to end up like that.

Should i go with CF housing, Black housing, Or open them and paint them the same color as my car?
