im talking about the bumper lenses on the side of the bumper. I have seen some that light up just a Mitsu sign and stuff

shuwa29 · 03-05-2003, 05:27 PM

just get the clear ones and have a vinyl shop cut out a misu diamond and then put it on the lens. i did that with my clears but now i got euro clears on my bumper.

cool. I was thinking of gettting some kinda decal and putting it in the black plastic part of my bumper, in the big "mouth" part. What you think

shuwa29 · 03-05-2003, 08:26 PM

i've seen people cut that part out for their intercoolers and i've seen people paint it to match their car. i'm not sure how mine is going to look. they are repainting my front bumper and i hope they leave it black. so it will go with the hood, headlights, and lip. we'll see.

Thanks shuwa29 for that link for the foglights to be on with just the parking lights. It was very simple to do and is kick ass!!! Keep this thread up guys!!!

RedEclipseGS · 03-06-2003, 09:01 PM

i love that fog/parking light mod, it looks good

I smoked my bumper lights and my reverse lights with some RC car tint spray, that only costed four dollars and it looks really good. Well I like it on my car because its black and it got rid of that faded look on my reverse lights. It was worth it.

whats up yall just trying to keep this thread alive

RedEclipseGS · 03-29-2003, 07:23 PM

anyone got any walkthroughs on making adapter plates for a 5 1/4 speaker fitting in my eclipse doors

SnoopySLR · 03-30-2003, 10:14 AM

I thought 5 1/4 were what was in the doors? I put 6 1/2 in my doors. I just screwed them in and sealed them with this stuff called "Seal and Peel" The stuff is awesome. It seals as good as any caulk, but this will peel right off by pulling on it.

RedEclipseGS · 03-30-2003, 01:02 PM

thats cool.....i looked up the sizes and there are sevral that "fit" and it verys from car to car so i have heard. Were can you pic up some of that seal stuff i could use it

SnoopySLR · 03-30-2003, 07:10 PM

Home Depot sells it. If you ask someone about it, they will probably tell you they don't have it. Not to many people know about it, it seems. If they try to sell you this stuff in a can, DON'T BUT IT. Its not the same. This stuff comes in a caulk gun tube. Just look for it. Its white and green. Any way I hope you find it, It works great for sound systems.

RedEclipseGS · 03-30-2003, 09:34 PM

there is no room for me to screw my 5 1/4's in because the tabs on the speakers want fit....im going to a local sound shop tomorrow to see if they can cut me an adapter plate. If not ill just make some or "ghetto rig" them

Task1er · 04-01-2003, 09:34 PM

Okay Windo-weld is the stuff you use in the motor mounts its about $10-$15 bucks at NAPA, good stuff prevents wheel hop, also if you want to make you'r car lighter you can remove the rubber matting under the carpet with a heat gun a putty knife and some time, just make sure to put your carpet back so it dosn't look GHETTO. Any other free mods out there?

shuwa have u done the throttle cable mod?? how much did u slide it to the left, if u could please measure it with a ruler or somethin or estimate.. like 1/4 of an inch??cause i wanna do it without removin the intake.. did u feel a big difference??

thanks shuwa.. good luck at basic!

shuwa29 · 04-07-2003, 01:04 AM

all cars are different. mine was actually fine and i didn't need to touch it. you do have to take off the intake and have someone press the gas for you while the CARS OFF and then you can adjust from there.

Is it some magic pixie dust?:laugh: I don't even know what they are trying to sell. If it is what I think it is don't get it. it my be some resistor or something that you install on the mas airflow sensor, you can get it at radio shack, does anybody else know what this is?

shuwa29 · 04-17-2003, 12:01 AM

it's total garbage. i forgot what it's supposed to but the only thing it does is put a hole in your wallet. save for something worth while.
