    door handles :(

    Buy Mitsubishi door handles, not that aftermarket crap on Ebay. I think I paid $70 per door handle from the dealership at one time.

    Check out my new firewall

    It looks ugly and I would not consider it to be custom fabrication.

    Sanding / buffing resin (Carbon fiber)

    Putting resin over the sanded hood was a bad idea. I imagine the surface of the hood is quite uneven now. At this point I would sand all the resin off with 180 and then do what illeclipse said. However, I recommend refining the scratches quite a bit more than 320 before clearing. It depends...

    CF hood install, now won't latch all the way

    The rubber things should only be used to adjust the height of the hood when it is latched. If you change those too much you might be able to get the hood to latch, but then your gaps will be off. What you need to do is adjust the hood latch itself. Loosen the bolts that hold it to the car and...

    Replacing 2g roof skin, need advice from people who have done it.

    Nice job man! Yea, those spot-weld cutters are a must have. Looks good, now just weld the skin on, smooth out the welds, a little seam-sealer as needed and she's ready for paint.Where did you buy your spotweld cutters at? I have been getting them through a supplier that delivers to the body...

    Replacing 2g roof skin, need advice from people who have done it.

    NO, Don't do that!! That's a horrible idea and will leave huge seams to be welded and leave the OP with the same warped roof he has now! That is a nice way to ruin an otherwise simple and straightforward roof job.To the OP: I have not done a roof job on a 2g, but have done many other...

    Thanks man! You know if you ever need stuff done you can count on me. BTW now that you are doing time attack, if you ever want to get some of that Bonneville dirt off the bottom of your car you have an extra set of hands!To everyone else, thanks for the nice words, it is always good to hear...

    Rear battery bracket, rear body pan removal, suspension cleanup

    Cool, thanks man. And I didn't even realize that but my parents both have Chryslers and you are right- the battery sits right behind the bumper in front of the drive side front tire.Update-The subframe is reinstalled, but the underside still needs to be polished. I got my aluminum rear...

    My bumper doesn't connect to my headlights..

    I looked at your pictures and your bumper is not sagging half as bad as others I have seen. Assuming your bumper is OEM and has not been repaired before you could try pulling it off and heating the areas underneath the lights with a heat-gun and pulling them up a little bit. I worked in the...

    Carbon fiber painting, questions.

    This is true only in the case of an undamaged hood.If your head has excessive spider-web cracking you will want to sand all the cracks out. I would start with 80, and make sure to feather them out nicely so as not to leave noticable lows in the hood. Then, like you said in your first post...

    My bumper doesn't connect to my headlights..

    That is BS and anyone who tells you you need to intentionally rip/break/tear things to get your car apart is full of shit. There are very few things on a car which should break when removing them. To properly get the bumper out, reach or crawl under the front of the car with a 3/8" ratchet and...

    Rear battery bracket, rear body pan removal, suspension cleanup

    That's a good point, and it did run through my mind when thinking about where I was going to mount the battery. I do feel that it is plenty safe where it is with the factory rear bumper support if something were to happen. Additionally, the battery is mounted outside the vehicle, so if it were...

    Rear battery bracket, rear body pan removal, suspension cleanup

    Thanks! It wasn't finished when I was at WORKS and a year later and it still isn't! I need to stop being lazy and finish the car up but I always seem to just find more things I want to do. My plan right now for the diffuser is to make it out of fiberglass. I need to take a few measurements, but...

    My bumper doesn't connect to my headlights..

    The tabs on either side of the bumper underneath the headlights are supposed to attach to the bumper core support with push-clips.

    cleaning suspension and wheel wells?

    I am in the process of re-doing my wheel wells and suspension. I know exactly what you mean about some of the road grime and tar that can build up under the car, and not even a steam cleaner will take it off! If it is really thick, the best thing is to start with a plastic scraper like a bondo...

    Dying / Failing Clear Coat [Merged 7-8] cote clearcoat paint dead flaking peeling rot

    The panels will need to be repainted. I would just spray the whole car. Painting is not hard to do by yourself if you are patient, careful, and pay good attention to detail.

    Rear battery bracket, rear body pan removal, suspension cleanup

    I was very hesitant to chop into my car as well, but then I looked at what I had done to my roof and asked myself what I was waiting for! I don't have any pictures of the inside right now, but I will take some once I get the underside done and start working topside. The 1/2" angle iron 'frame'...

    Rear battery bracket, rear body pan removal, suspension cleanup

    Weight savings for this work would be a negligible weight increase due to the few pounds of steel added for the battery bracket and 'frame' for removable rear floor. Although I now cannot keep a spare tire in the car, I never did anyway. While slightly risky in case I am in a sticky situation...

    Rear battery bracket, rear body pan removal, suspension cleanup

    I decided to remove my rear body pan a while back. The only thing it was doing was holding my battery. I decided to move the battery to a better spot behind the rear bumper and remove the rear body pan. This allows me easy access to everything in the rear of the car (differential, swaybar...

    Tinted out the Eclipse

    Although the safety factor is of concern to me, I could care less about everything else. I think many users on here are not very respectful of others' opinions. Aside from excessive tint reducing driver visibility, who cares what it looks like? The owner likes it, and that is all that matters...

    carbon fiber doors

    I am obviously going to assume you want the doors primarily for aesthetic purposes, and less-so for saving weight. That being said, I think swapping the doors over would be a much larger pain than you might think. Even swapping out factory doors is moderately time consuming. Additionally, I am...

    Wire Tuck [Merged 7-9] tucks tucking wiring tucked

    No, not at all. In fact, quite the contrary. The route which you are taking in cleaning up the engine bay (although it unfortunately does not show too well in the above picture, but I can see well enough) is along the lines I would go, minus the modification of the wire harness. I did that once...

    Wire Tuck [Merged 7-9] tucks tucking wiring tucked

    Unfortunately I do not have any pics of my engine bay, but I wanted to give some advice to those of you considering to do a wire tuck. There are some real, and some unreal expectations when doing this. My car is a good example of an engine bay that will always look, to some extent, cluttered. I...

    Front fender help

    Actually, Lowe's in the city where I live has a very nice selection of metric body bolts which I like a lot. You may try a hardware store's specialty fastener isle for these bolts. They are not identical to the factory bolt, but I actually liked them better and replaced all of mine with these...

    Body work help/advice needed

    When I said to get an aftermarket bumper, this is what I was referring too- an OEM style, but aftermarket manufacturer. I bought one for my car, as well as my brother's RS eclipse. You can see fitment in my gallery pictures. A Mitsubishi cover will fit better, but other than a few minor...

    Body work help/advice needed

    The quarter panel on the 2g is very difficult to access from the inside, and you will most likely not have much luck, however it is the best option to try first. After you try that, do NOT listen to the guy who said to use sheetmetal screws and a slidehammer- it is not the 70's anymore. Putting...

    engine cleaning question... [Merged 2-7] engine bay washing

    I decided to clean my engine bay the other day, and after doing so, I decided it would not be a bad idea to put some extra protection on electrical connectors for the future. I got a can of di-electric grease, and unplugged some of the more important exposed connectors, applied the grease, and...

    Body shop guys..Stock sideskirt install help.

    The clip on the left goes into the rocker panel underneath the car. I believe it comes with the screw that goes into it when you order it from the dealership. I would recommend getting some of these also. The clip on the right is what you need to hold the rocker moulding to the car.

    Body shop guys..Stock sideskirt install help.

    For the clips that secure the factory rocker mouldings to the car, just buy them from mitsu. Use P/N MB696120, and they may come in pacakges of more than one. When working at a bodyshop, we had a huge cabinet full of all types of clips and retainers for cars; there were hundreds of different...

    Bolt Setup for 2gb Bumper.

    Whatever. Splash shields and bumper reinforcement all contribute to the rigidity of the bumper cover. You continue driving your car around with a floppy front end that lacks pieces and hardware. If your level of quality involves zip-tying body parts on, so be it. It reflects in the pictures of...

    Bolt Setup for 2gb Bumper.

    Yes, I do.First of all, you are missing the spash shield on the right side, and most likely the left side too. Secondly, you are not running the factory impact bar or absorber, which also gives the bumper a lot of support, which is why your bumper sags underneath the headlights. You...

    Bolt Setup for 2gb Bumper.

    You guys are horrible, and the reason why many DSMs look like crap. It takes about 15-20min to remove a factory bumper, and about 10 to reinstall. If something is difficult for any of you to do, I would imagine you are not doing it correctly. To make your life easier, get a set of picks and a...

    What you think of these wheels?

    I think some of you are getting jealous of the guys with nice wheels for no reason. They are just trying to encourage you to get some higher quality ones as they think it is worth it and you might too. Also, you can think outside the box when it comes to getting high quality wheels. Think of...

    I read what you said the first time, am very aware of the affects of oilbased and waterbased wax and grease removers, their affects and so on. I have done my share of painting and prep, and understand the pros and cons to both. When using an oil based wax and grease remover, you should not get...

    Spraypainting valve cover..bubbles getting all over??

    I would do lighter coats, and probably wait longer. You want to give the paint sufficient time for the solvents to evaporate out before burying them again. The bubbles are possibly from solvent popping. This is the result of not allowing the first layer to flash off, and then putting more paint...
