where I could purchase Eclipse rear bumper lettering

[Flipz]

Hi,

Do you know where I could purchase ECLIPSE and Spyder lettering that appears on most 2G Eclipse Spyders (my DSM came without one for some reason and the back looks a bit empty without these). Thanks

Mach V.They carry the eclipse letters and can probably get a hold of the spyder letters as well.

Excuse my ignorance but who is Satan - is it a company or a forum member that sells Eclipse parts?

$36 for the raised Eclipse letters? What a rip off.

cursive turbo writing and the chrome for the front of my car

oh that's all? try owning an Eagle some time.

$46 for the eagle emblem and eagle lettering and $45 for the TSi + AWD.

Yeah, it is quite expensive for a bunch of PVC letters but as the sources for purchase are limited the price could not be lowered, I guess there are only these two place to get these and only one place if you want the Spyder lettering on the bumper

got mine from the dealer for 2 bucks for the gsx decal and 5 bucks for the eclipse lettering.

I really do not know what to believe now, some say it is around the 30s for this 7 letters, others like you get it for below 10 bucks, the sites sell it for 36. I think I will go to the dealer and check what is the price in California for this thing.

Btw when did you get it from the dealer for 5 bucks - was it recently?

Find out if he meant just the decal, not the chromed letters.

it was a few months ago. i feel like he may have given me a discount. I talked to him forever about dsms and after i got the decals he came out with some goofoff and helped me put them on. I accidently sprayed mine off in the carwash.

 

[Flipz]

Are these really so easy to come off with a simple car wash or was it an accident, I doubt I want to spend that much money for some letters if they come off after a few car washes

 

[Defiant]

I'd bet they were replacements after a crash.
Put them on when the weather's warm, heat them a bit with a hair dryer (not too much, they'll distort), get them on straight, give them a week to "cure", and don't hit them with the full-blast at the car wash.

I got both of my decals from the dealer. They weren't cheap...but they didn't put me in the poor house either. I had my center painted to match the car and wanted the identical center chrome lettering like the original. I also ordered the deck decal for the 3000GT because the 3000GT deck decals are raised letters like the center chrome ones...unlike the Eclipse which are just a flat sticker. I think I paid about $30 for the chromes and like $10 or $15 for the deck one. I wash my car often enough...and while thinking I may have peel problems...they seemed to have lasted about 6-7 years now....with no chipping, flaking or peeling.

I don't have any emblems or lettering on my car at all. I love hearing people asking "What kinda car is that??" as I psssssssht by.

^^ congratulations

back on topic. The lettering WILL peel off if you spray close to it with a high pressure washer. I was not thinking at the time and it sprayed the silver off of the sticker (note that it didnt spray the actual sticker off, just the silver lettering) Just be careful where you point that thing at and you will be fine. No, the stickers do not come off easily, its actually quite a chore to get them off.

Pressure washer...EKKKKKKKKK!!!! I only use soft cloths and a nice front yard hose for baby. But even then I'm still careful with the letters. I don't feel like shelling out any more bucks to replace them.

Okay, I think we've determined where to get stickers.
