My car is at the body shop right now having the radiator support beam and a couple of other pieces repaired after my wreck. My headlights were also smashed in the wreck so I went ahead and got some black projectors to replace them. So in a day or two I will have my car back with the black projectors installed and the bumper, hood, and one quarter panel will need to be repainted. So my two options are to spend a little less money and just have these pieces painted the original factory burghandy color, or wait another week or so until i have the money to get the whole car painted. If I get the whole car repainted I am going to get it painted black. I'm not too sure how the black projectors would look with the factory burghandy color. If anybody has pics of an eclipse with black paint/black projectors or factory burghandy paint/black projectors please post them. Thanks
 
Look through the gallery there are a few cars with black projectors on them. They look good with any color 97-99 Eclipse. :thumb:
 
I would prefer black in the long run, but it looks like I'll be sticking with the factory color for now. The guy working on my car owns a body shop and he is going to repaint the front half of the car the original factory color with 8 coats including the primer, paint, and clearcoat. I'll have my car back by monday morning as good as new and he already has the projectors installed and working. :thumb: here are a couple of pics, one right after the wreck and the other is how it looks today before he repaints it.
