New Look. What Do You Think

[shsking11]

I've never really liked the black hood type of things.
Until, I bought the hood for 20 dollars.
Then, I saw the rims for 100 dollars, thanks joe (Crazy1gb)
So this is the finished product.

Paid 120 for black hood and rims.
77.00 for Dismount and Mount of tires.

I've chosen not to move to a 2gb because most people do,
I'm still trying to find something more unique.

Criticism is accepted, i'm open to all opinions

After about 200 dollars, this is what I did.

Well, here's the pics:









The Before

Yeah I agree.
I think i'm going to go with the 2gb side skirts though.
And repaint the bumpers, and go with a small lip kit.

Just to be different.

Possibly a silver panda.

my crit. for you is..... paint the inside of the headlights black... would tie in with the rest of the car great. looks good though. I can't tell cause I am outside on my laptop, but tinted windows would help too.

[spooled_u_1st]

Looks good. Glad to see I'm not the only one that likes the 2ga look.

[ILLiCliPSE]

Looks pretty sweet. Dont be afriad to switch to the 2GB bumpers....plenty of 2GB cars are unique. But I do like the 2ga look when its done right.

I've never been into the 2ga eclipse look but this one is pretty clean! If i wanted it to have the 2ga look, i would go with the talons, IMO it flows better.

Thanks and yes I DO agree, the headlights look horrible..
lol.

And they are tinted.. 20% polarized.
Which looks weird because it's not black.
I'm changing today actually.

I'm i'm going with a black turbo spoiler to contrast the hood in the back.
I might do a lip kit though. Not quite sure.

Thanks for the crit. tho, nice to know other people agree with me.

Yeah, I agree.
I've never really been into the 2ga, but i decided to kinda change up the norm on the 2g.

I love the Talons, especially the black top.
But I have an eclipse..

lol.

I agree though, Talons do flow a lot nicer.

[FLASH1970]

I like it.

[crimsonGST]

Talon's to me just make a better sleeper, but the more i look at your car the more i like it. I do agree with the black housings all the way though. Maybe leave the amber corner though to make it like a 2ga/2gb hybrid look, and not soo much as just a black projector type housing like the cheapbay has.

It looks sharp, I think I'd go with the clear side markers, it would make for a nice match to your entire paint scheme.

I've got some clear ones.
And they're REALLY aged..
lol so I went with some FREE brand new ambers :]]

Yeah, black housing would make the diff.
I also thing that changing the low spoiler to high would be sweet too :]

[ove_98 TSI]

looks good
how did u manage to get that hood for 20$ thats a steal

[Lofty]

Looks really nice man, nice job.

[99RedGs]

These cars are 13 yrs old... There is nothing unique left for them man.

Looks good though

+1
painting those headlights would make your car look a million times better IMO!

[propeine]

I like it. You're giving me inspiration to break out the spray gun and squirt my hood and hatch. Not sure if I'm gonna like the red and black look though.

bad outlook but true in the same sense....kinda brings to mind the new scion commercial "It is that which makes us different!....that brings us together"

I like the idea man and it is looking great but in my opinion dont touch the spoiler....too much too much

I agree, but when you're 16 and you have to buy everything yourself.
You'll do almost anything to make any car unique.
