I'm so glad there will still be people like you who keep their DSM as new as the day they bought them from the showroom floor. You are one of very few people I know who still own their original DSM from the dealership and take pride and love what they have. We all have our favorite pet peeves...

Hello my friends. I never thought I would ever see the day myself. For the ones that know me the most, I had been very active with the DSM scene since 1997, and am the original owner of Kylie, which is the one listed on eBay. I recently went through a divorce with my wife, who some of you may...

Glad there are still people on forums. I haven't been here in forever myself. I highly doubt I'm coming back since I would be 51 years old if I came back 12 years later. The Spyder is sold to a great guy in Europe and am just waiting on the other to sell. So sad as I've always had the love...

Merry Christmas to my fellow DSM enthusiasts. This is the last year, I'll have my 4G63's as I am moving forward to a different platform, after 17 solid years of playing in the DSM game. Hope you all have an awesome day opening gifts for all your rides.

If you have a local Lowe's Home Improvement store, they have some hard to find random parts like that.

For some reason, you bringing attention that you've never had a lowered car before and being concerned on fixing the damage that is already on it, gives me a different perspective. Should you get used to driving it that low before repairing the damage and hitting something similar to the...

You could always have the foglight holes and side markers shaved like I did when I bought a new bumper. I bought the OEM one surprisingly from SATAN, but felt $125 a fantastic deal.

I believe Lowe's Home Improvement has an actual automotive section where you can find hard to find clips, and crap that you just can't find anywhere. Try there.

But the Z owners don't have back seats so where would the hard cover mount to? Interesting, but I'm sure can be done, given you don't want anyone sitting in the back seats at the same time. Our factory boot matches our interior by the way.

Well, if you're like most DSMr's, making the car go fast will be neverending, as things break and the urge to do more will always be there. Once you paint, you should be good for the next 7-8 years, given you get a quality paint job. Not too many keep their cars that long, so if you put off...

Ah, the window tint thread. These threads are always subjective, and at times like in your case, I would be more worried about the legalities of it in your area. It truly is a personal preference. Mine has 5% on every window, and the entire front windshield has been 35% for years. I never...

Have you ever considered painting/wrapping the roof lines black, and getting the raised Talon Spoiler in black as well? It gives a nice black top look and silhouette to it. It's been done a bunch of times, so I thought I'd add that to the mix of options you are thinking about.

Looks like the going rate on eGay is $37 including shipping. Here's one I found for you...http://www.ebay.com/itm/1999-MITSUBISHI-ECLIPSE-REAR-CENTER-REFLECTOR-GARNISH-ASSEMBLY-/231253627664?pt=Motors_Car_Truck_Parts_Accessories&fits=Model%3AEclipse&hash=item35d7ca5310&vxp=mtrNot sure how...

This thread totally reminded me of my friend not only doing the beer tap for a shift knob, but he also did it for the windshield wiper blades and a small version on the turn signals. It was hilarious, because every time he hit a massive bump, the wipers would go off to full speed. Good luck...

I know you mentioned you didn't want to "make it an Eclipse," but why not just buy the center section, and repaint/wrap/vinyl that to whatever you wish it to look like. At least it would fill in the gap you're trying to figure out, and probably be least costly.

You won't cause a shortage just by not connecting the fog lights. You definitely want to secure it so they aren't just dangling or getting wet from water though. Good luck with the conversion!

It's so cheap to replace the power antenna, I don't understand why people go with stubby's, and the old school cell antenna look. The exhaust looks great by the way!

Someone probably wasn't happy with the size of the OEM wing, and R&D went through making a production of a larger version. I can't imagine it ever being successful as I've only seen less than a handful with one.

Given these cars have been around for decades, it's easy to read suggestions and tried and proven experience. Seems like you do some research before buying, which is a good start. Just try to filter out the good and bad and make the right decision. Good luck with your new toy.

Welcome, and glad to see you acquired the boot along with your purchase.

Good luck on acquiring the new DSM. If that doesn't work out, feel free to PM me as I have a couple I'm about to sell that has absolutely no rust(I'm the original owner and live in Florida.) I'm no paint and body guy, but spray painting over rust? To me, that's like putting a Snoopy band aid...

Welcome. Hopefully you share your future mods and not keep it G2 Classified.

Rare yes, but desirable? Not sure about that. I remember when they first came out in 1998 and even with the little red rubber covers that would go over the bulb, you could still barely see the taillights work properly in broad daylight, or in a bad rainstorm, especially if your car was...

Paint code? There's a Sticky for paint codes on the top of this section...http://www.dsmtuners.com/threads/paint-code-help-color-code-codes-paint-code.166242/

As long as they look good to you, then I could be like most people and say, go for it. After being in my first DSM in a crash involving airbag deployment, all I can suggest is to think about the actual safety of your own custom seat mounts. There's a reason they use crash test dummies on these...

This thread totally reminded me of this guy back in '97 who was so concerned with his new intercooler, that he did the same mesh idea out of materials from Home Depot. It looked decent until one day, he hit a huge piece of scrap tire off a semi, and it creased the homemade mesh grille and did...

Other than actually painting the center, VHT is the best looking option.

I'm going to reserve my comments because the rules say to be friendly and respectful. I see they considered the radio antenna, but how in the world are you supposed to be able to open your trunk? Is this product even for real?

For what it's worth, regardless of the vehicle, it's always bothered me that the majority of front lips lower the front bumper to where it doesn't flow well with the rest of the body line(starting from the side skirts to the higher clearance of the rear bumpers.) Sure the lips look great when...

It's happening tonight...Been a while since I've talked to most of you from my other "home." Good to see some of you guys checking in here.

I never heard back from you about Sunday. Just let me know when you want to meet up. I was shocked we were even free when you text me, but we made plans to go to One Spark, see the boat show, ride bikes at the beach, and play tennis later. Of course! Just keep me in the loop when you come...

People will always be around. Getting a group together really has never been that hard (when you only have less than 15 peeps to work with). It's getting people to come on a consistent basis.DSMr's are just a different kind of group. We'll meet for three months straight and then interest...

Chad! Hope you're doing well, as you were one of the DSMr's I'd call Orange Park Argyle peeps. Good to know you're doing well up in Colorado. Maybe I need to check in DSM Purity. I'm always around, just not as much in here. If you're on Instagram, I'm on that at least. You know I've...

C'mon Cory. It hasn't fallen apart because Jaxness and Justin moved to the west coast. They just moved a few weeks ago, and we hadn't had a monthly meet all year. Like Kyle said, only 2 or 3(just about every monthly meet when we'd have it) would show up, and the rest were EVO's and that's how...

I was looking for a picture on here and always check in this area before being dormant for years. Congrats on the married life! I'm not an officer this year for the Jaycees and have been getting back into my ol' hobbies.Sounds like your new house is a dream come true so can't wait to...

Interesting. What is the rest of the itinerary? Word is getting around, and we may bring both DSM's down.You must not have been around back in 2006, 2008, and 2010, when I set some pretty fun meets here in Jacksonville? Haha...

I was looking for a picture, and always check in here whenever I happen to go on this crazy forum. Looks like I haven't met a few of you guys. Jaxness and her Hubble used to set up the local meets and was going pretty decent for a while, but have recently moved to California. They were an...

I think I past you on Monument Rd a few afternoons ago. I was in my fiancee's Spyder. If any of you are looking for locals, most of us are on dsmpurity.net

I come from the old school where Catz and PIAA had some nice foglights long before HID's were even OEM on cars, much less aftermarket. That's where I learned the differences between the Kelvins. Fast forward to present time, I rock out 3000K HID's in my foglights and 6000K's in my driving...

Thanks for posting the link! For anyone who attempted to come, and actually did make it, I thank you very much. Please feel free to follow the locals on either EVOM, or DSM Purity where the majority of the Jacksonville area DSMr's reside. I'm LUNARFX on there, and let us know if you come from...

Wow, I've been posting here for months and no one's responded and the time we've been chillin' in the parking lot and lobby, everyone decides to post! Everyone come on down!! Dwayne, Tracy and Kali, you guys are troopers coming all the way down south, but I can assure you there won't be any...
