Even with the planted seat bracket, anything with sliders on it will have a tight fit with head clearance. Best case scenario is to have the seat position mounted where its best for you and that cuts out the extra clearance added from the sliders.

That is because you are correct, they never came in ALL black. They "blue" is still grey and a third color is like a beige/tan for the headliner and visors with the plastics too.For the OP, people have had VERY good success using dyerite for both the carpet and the plastics. The plastics you...

I will be putting my restored sunroof back together tomorrow and I can give you a very detailed description of it. Basically there are two cables running to each side that are driven by the motor in the middle. These cables control the track system are should run at equal lengths each rotation...

The issue is how the paint is laid out and then how the clear flows out after. A single stage will always be more dull than a dual stage of course. Metallic of Pearls aside, the individual base and then clear stages will always be a better quality and appearance than single stage. The base color...

Totally understand. A lot of people are fine with just OK.

I would like to be the voice of reason here and just either wait, or spring for the 2 stage NOW. You will be waaaaay happier with it in the long run and also not spending DOUBLE or more down the road to do everything again. I know you want it done ASAP, and we have all been there wanting...

That is a very reasonable price. Especially with the other things you are mentioning they will be doing as well. Paint is getting really expensive and good body work takes hours and hours. You need to book that quote immediately lol, before they go higher. I painted by own engine bay and...

To be fair, it is titled as titled as a door window belt in the parts diagrams.The answer to his question however is that they are extremely hard to find in good condition since they have been discontinued for a while now. Not as hard to find as good condition drip moldings, but most people...

Hello and welcome to Tuners! What you are experiencing is extremely common on 2G dsms and the quick fix would be to completely reach in there and bend that rod back in inward of the door. If you are not maxed out on the upper adjustment you can also loosen the nut/bolt on the upper circled arm...

I personally think that the quik-latch are the lowest profile while also providing solid locking (pinning?) as well. They have different sizes and an actual key locking one as well. AeroCatch would be my second choice but have a much larger footprint when mounted on the hood, while still having...

It can honestly vary. When I was looking around for places in Cali I would just call the shop and ask for a quote. Once I got one kind of in the middle I would then look up their work and reviews and go from there. The place I ended up going with was so good on price, professionalism and quality...

Been saying this since day 1 haha. Goes for ANY metal part you can remove. Other wise wire wheel it, use the por15 metal prep then por15 "paint".

If the passenger handle it completely missing, then take off the tape covering the hole and look through it for the rod that goes to the door jam. You should be able to open it this way. It has been a while, but I THINK you will push the rod downward and that should pop it open.

1. Anything water based still leaves a small amount of moisture behind so this can cause issues obv with not having the best base to adhere to when moving on to the next steps. 2. From my understanding, the metal prep etches the metal as well as leaves a zinc coating behind which is a rust...

Saw the set with broken tabs or been tinted, last set I found that was mint was $800-$1,200 but was perfect. Freaking crazy lol.

Use the reverse lights power. That is what I did. It runs down the sill plate I believe, but it has been a while since I installed mine as well.

So final review on the cover is that it works VERY well when tied down correctly. The zipper def has to have a tie down on the zipper and the strap going up around on top ON the seam. Also I have a poly front bumper on and I used the ratchet tie down to get it very very tight on the very front...

Well got to the summit of Donner Pass and stopped at a rest stop. Found that the front tie down and the one running under the car from the front to the back had totally slipped off and the cover had been slapping up to the upper tie down. So now on to revision 1.2 which is no under tire down...

So update on the cover.. this is the one I went with,Favoto Full Car Cover Sedan Cover...I liked that it ties to the spokes on the rims for extra holding strength. Also I used ratchet tie downs and here is version 1.0More updates as we make the trip from California to Colorado!

Hey guys, I am about to make a move across three states and I want to get a really nice car cover for my 2G Eclipse GSX. I was wondering what you guys recommend for a nice fitting and quality cover I can put over it during the move as I am sure it will be subjected to tons of road grime and dirt...

This is exactly what we as a community should be trying to get away from! Doing these janky mod/repairs when there is an option that fixes it permanently and supports a community member. I get it, the $250 price tag is hefty but in the long run after your 4th-5th time changing the handles...

With this bumper there is no trimming at all for stock fitment. I will be trimming mine only because of putting a front mount on. Otherwise it would just bolt up. Very happy with this aftermarket for sure.

If you scroll through the post to the near top the link is posted by another member. It’s on eBay. Hope this helps!

Wanted to give everyone interested or that may find this thread later an update. So I ordered the bumper listed above and it came in so freaking fast. Only took two days. It IS folded in the box when it comes in BUT I simply took it out of the box and sat it in the sun and within 5mins it has...

So is this shop that would install the covers located in California? Little confused on the post.. the actual leather skins come from a company in Canada but are installed by a shop in California?

Exactly. Either way is fine with me, just fitment as well. Thanks again man.

Just ordered it lol. Thank you so much.

Looks really good to me! Have a link for purchase by chance? Or where I go to buy it?PS. Digging the white headlight housing!

Dude thank you so much! How does it look looking from the front down around the headlights on both sides?? That is the huge concern I have.. there being a bad gap or cut short around the bottom of the headlights.

If you could, keep me updated with how it fits on the car when you get it mounted. That is what I am worried about honestly, is the passenger side gap area. The one aftermarket I have seen up close in person fit awesome on the drivers side, but looked to be cut short or formed short on the...

I was wondering if anyone here has installed a decent aftermarket OEM style bumper on a 2GB eclipse and what brand it is. I am installing an aftermarket intercooler that needs the front bumper to be trimmed and I am not wanting to cut my OEM bumped in case I return the car back to stock. I have...

We were talking about the 1mil one posted above. If you look close it looks like the power steering belt is off one rib to the left.

Hahah sure does. Looks like it’s a rib off for sure..Oh and this is not oem obv but it’s my design for me cover if you want some inspiration or something….

Bet it is still leaking oil hahaha...

Keep us updated! This would be awesome if it works.

So here is my personal opinion on this and the direction I am going to take with mine. I know it sounds crazy but here it is lol. We all know how much more value cars hold when things are oem. I know most people say, “ Well I am never going to sell my car.” But we also know everything has a...

Alright guys, thank everyone soooooo much for all the help abs tips!! I tried everything that everyone mentioned here including letting the cans sit in hot water. In the end I am pinpointing the culprit as my application. I think I went too heavy with coats and not enough time between them. When...

Wanted to give a quick update.. got everything wiped down with the alcohol and started with super light… super light coats of first black rust protector spray. Waited and didn’t look wet so moved on to light coats of self etching dark grey primer and applied two light coats. Everything looked...

So decided to throw both of the cans away and just start with brand new. Also decided to sand with a 800 grit at most so it has something more scuffed up to adhere to. Also, going to try just the iso alcohol and paint soon after. I will update on Monday what happens as this is my first day off...

So just read that old paint can cause this too, which judging by the dust on the top of the most recent can I bought could be the problem?

The pictures attached are actually a very light coat. I asked a buddy about it before I started and he said the same thing about light coat. It did this literally as I sprayed it and moved on a little which made me think it’s something under it causing it. I did wipe it with the mineral stuff...

So yeah for the primer I am using rattle can. I have tried two different types now, both of which crack almost instantly when sprayed, regardless of the coat amounts. Light or little heavyset, both crack. So you would think it has to be something left behind making it do it right?? I wiped the...

Ok cool, can I use the isopropyl alcohol to clean the area then?

Guys I am losing my mind with this car and the front end. Background… I am restoring the car and when I first took everything off the front end I had it down to the bare metal. So, I go to paint the front end and everything is going really smooth and laying down great. I am using spray cans...

Found a set of NOS in bags still on Facebook market place for sale about a month ago, and they were listed for $700...

I call shotgun on your front bumper if its OEM LOL!

Looks good man, but I don't see a new cover on it..?

Again, I promise you they are painted/plasti-dipped, or whatever. For example, the reason your visors are still grey is because it is a HUGE pain in the ass to have them wrapped in black, which is why they were left alone and only did the headliner. So please, its not IF they are painted. After...

Then someone has painted the bottom dash pieces and the bottom console parts. NONE of the interiors came all black man. Just those three options lol.
