Best Of 97-99

[FiReBReTHa]

Hell yeah, I bought them as soon as I saw them a few months ago in a magazine. Something uniques about them... They look nice in black!

I hope we are the only dsms here with these. We used up all the available styles already... (2).

Telly699....are those ALT Racing X-factors? in the silver? They look niiiice. I have them in carbon-black...

see see....

Hows the weight on your rims?

im curious about ALT.

Now, do you just take the ECLIPSE letters off, or buy a
replacement aftermarket tail piece? If anyone could help
me out on that, I'd appreciate it...

Use a hair dryer to heat up the letters. They will then be easy to peel right off. Use some Goo Gone to remove any leftovers.

Anyone know of a aftermarket tail piece that is stock in appearance but has the ability to light up and match the lighting of the left and right tails? If not, could some professional company please make them cause that would look sweet.

you can do the center light mod yourself, I don't know if the vfaq is still up for it but they used to have one. Pretty much what you do it first take out the center peice and open it up so that you have the lense in one hand and the backing in the other(use oven for this) You then have to sand the silver paint off the back of the lense so that light can get through when you hit the brakes(or all the time). Then you drill two, three, hell four holes(depends on how many bulbs you want) for tail light bulbs in the backing of the center peice. Wire the bulbs to either your taillights(for running when you have the lights on) or wire them to your brake light so that the center section lights up when you hit the brakes. Pretty simple just be careful and don't mess anything up.

Spooled: I think you should just get it shaved or painted, I have yet to see an aftermarket tail peice that looked good on an eclipse.

for a custom center brake light mod look in my gallery. i took mine apart, sanded the silver off the inside, masked off some stars painted it silver, and put in two super bright high wattage bulbs ran off the power of the stock third brake light i removed. most people make fun of the stars and call me ghey but i think it looks awesome, but it's pretty easy to do no matter how you do it or what you put on the back, only word of warning is it does take a lot of light to light that big mother up, and a hint is to line the inside of the llight with alluminum foil to help reflect the light, and watch the heat because i got two small bumps on my center peice now where my lights were too close to the plastic and got too hot and melted a little.

19lbs for the 17 x 7.5. Not too bad. Good quality too.

You know what I just thought of...(with dryer in hand)...will there be any view of the letters after they are removed, I mean..will it look brand spanking new where the letters were, and somewhat dull where they were not? Or does that piece not fade? Quick reply please! EclipseTrbo: You suck...your car is tooooooo nice!

 

[EclipseTrbo420A]

letter will show alittle bit but just scrub with the sticker remover and it will be un-noticable and thanks bro then wash the whole thing again , look at mine

If you look real close, you'll be able to read ECLIPSE, but no one will notice it unless you tell them. Don't hesitate, take them off, it'll give your car a real clean look. I say go all out and take off the 2 other stickers on the back and the one on the front bumper.

 

[SpooledGSX98]

Hmm, I'll do it tomorrow, I'll post pics of the outcome on here. Also, I dont know where the rear 2 stickers are on my car, Im bought it that way, but theyre gone without a trace!! I like it a lot, it makes all the kiddies around here think its an RS with a "fancy spoiler" Thats also why I opted for a single-tip muffler, if anyone knows of the 2-tip = turbo, 1-tip = NA stock muffler thing, some think its NA (ive had kids ask me just by the muffler )

It'll come out ultra clean on the rear I believe. Thanks for the help guys...

Favorite Green DSM , I swear your cars shaped different it looks so badass ( must be the stance). especially in your sig photo veryclean nice work

 

[TSiGoesPsSsSst]

Nothing special.......but heres my moneypit.Still needs alot of exterior mods like cf chin spoiler and hood,along with a lowering

 

[eclipse4wd]

heres another pic

 

[SpooledGSX98]

Here she is, letter-free. I really like it. The outcome is actually the opposite of what I thought, I figured where the letters were would be darker, and everything around the letters would be light. But its actually a lil bit lighter where the stickers were, somewhat ghost-like. Its pretty damn clean back there considering the ECLIPSE is gone and the MISTU/GSX on the trunk lid Lemme know what you think...

PS..TSiGoesPsSsST....how many small dogs and/or children has that FMIC swallowed whole? Thats friggin HUGE...in a bad-ass way!
