Had to tone it down!

[magik95]

So after the $50 dollar paint job which turned out pretty good, the red was just way to bright to leave it one solid color so I decided to throw some black in the mix. Also the silver rims were just killing the whole deal so I shot those satin black after seeing "Spiral Out's" satin black 18s. Sorry about the pics the color isnt very good the batteries were about to die.

They are 17" ADR's.

Holy fender gap, Batman!

Fender gap sucks But unfortunenately I can't lower my car because of the way my garage's entry is. It has a horrible dip so with the hieght its at now when I pull out I have about at most, literally a inch of ground clearance.
Thinking about making a ramp to cure the problem dip. Its killing me that my car is not lowered!

Looks good, now paint the hood black and the amber on the tail lights paint that black.

To give you an honest opinion, I think it looks like you have panels on your car that you haven't painted yet. Kinda like how it looks when someone gets a body kit on their car and can't afford to paint it yet. I can appreciate that you did the paint correctly and all that, so don't take my opinion as a negative thing. I'm just giving you my first thoughts straight up.

If it were me, I'd paint all that back to red and spray that muffler black. Red tails would look awesome against that red car too. I did that on my '95 and it was really easy.

Looking at it again, maybe only the bottom 4" or so would work better. Didn't the Eclipse 2ga's come like that?

Also, what's up with that hood, dude?

The hood has purpose didnt do that for looks. I thought about doing it the way they came stock but I like my way better.

Explain your red tails. You lost me.

What's the purpose of holes in the hood and a 3/4" gap from the fender up top by the windshield?

The purpose of my hood like that is to force hot air out of the engine bay.
I didnt see any good pics of the painted tail lights.

Ive seen that hood trick on drift cars (more or less on nissans) and i kinda like that look. Does it make it a tad bit harder to lock down your hood because of the gapping of the hood? A friend of mine did it to his integra and it made it a little bit hard to close but didnt have too much of a problem from it. Your car looks good man, def. a nice job on the paint job!

Thanks. No it doesnt make the hood hard to close at all. It stll shuts the same way as it did before the raise.

Really nice man, You can come paint my car if you'd like!

 

[TrboANTsi]

[95turbogsx]

We'll have to get the rest of this thing color sanded and buffed today. Take a picture from regular standing height 3/4 front view and I will photoshop the roof black for ya. It's definitely come a long way in a couple months!

 

[kickersprint]
