I think it is a cool idea creating a Spyder Talon... not necessarily my cup of tea, but cool idea just the same.

I would suggest that you take the extra money that you are looking at for your CF front end and put it into suspension/wheel mods. Nothing changes the agressive look of your car more than these changes. Go and get the Shock/Spring kit from MachV for $399 that drops your car 1.5" and then put on some 18" Rims and rubber that will cost you about $800-$1000 dollars.

let me tell you, you will not be disappointed that you went that route instead of an expensive CF front end.

To show you the difference here is a before and after pic of my car going from your stock look to an aftermarket stance

That is not bad of a deal at Machv , i bought my Ground control coilovers for 399 and that is not including the shocks , i wish i could have waitied for a better deal like this :)

Car looks good :) keep it up.
 
Whats the big deal about carbon fiber anyways? Its like 5 pounds lighter and costs a lot more? I agree, spend your money on mods rather than an exspensive front bumper that some old lady is gonna back into.
 
as for the rims.....enlistment bonus-Advans Genx hopefully from japan
Graphics- temporary to cover up a 2 foot long key hole on the driver door(cheaper than paint believe me)
if i can find a freaking white talon front bumper i would finish it....and if someone would buy my sideskirts id have talon sideskirts
and i already have headlights
 
yeah well....like everyone who has met me knows.....carbon fiber is the sexiest material on earth!!!
but yeah, im going with a tein spring on koni adjustables when i get the cash.....and a camber kit so im not a ricer with fvcked up tires

no body kit in the future...and if it is veilside front end and that will be it...

i hope to be done by this time next year with all non performance and actually have performance by then too
 
Grant for your sake, I hope the talon conversion doesnt take a year. That is just too long. Try ebay for the talon bumper.
 
ogh hell no GSxtcy....it should be done by the first of august hopefully.....
i gotta sell before i can buy guys!!!
 
bro....no shit. The AF doesn't give you shit til you RE-UP (re-enlist)....most enlistment bonuses SUCK ass (believe me, i know from experience)....and what's to say if he decides to #### out? or washes out of basic? then what? man, the best thing to do is SAVE up and then buy the shit. stop wasting your $$$ on dogshit. if your sponsored, you shouldn't have to buy shit.

i'm laughing at this because you'll probably only walk out w/ around $3,500....uncle sam will take his cut. fu(ked up i know, but that's the way it goes.
you'll learn, just as i did & many before & after me, that the military members in essence pay their own income.....best bet, if you get the oppurtunity to go OS right out of tech, take it. the desert is tax-free, but they are stopping that in oct i think......sooooo
re-think your options chief.

Phil, aint heard from yo bi*** ass in about a month or two. Pm a cracka!

As far as your enlistment bonus... Do you think they would give you 6g's without taxing it? Theres a special group of people that dont get taxed most of the time... There the owns that are "above" society.

Face it - Your gonna get fawked.
Your gonna get taxed.


Now take it and like it.
 
RToight on eclipse...im plannign on 4 grand after taxes which is what a friend ended up with last year my age.....i also just found out that i get another enlistment bonus when i go into a specific job like certain areas of aerospace engineering. I want to work on the actual engines....everyone else is like oh this is part of an engine and this is...but i want to actually work on the ENGINE not the supporting parts like hydraulics and stuff. but hey i take waht i get...i just know i love to work on stuff....and im hoping tto take my first tour of duty in JAPAN.....i hope anyways...i want my asian girl again....LOL


but anyways back on topic....anyone paint cause i found a front bumper for 100 bux but i gotta paint it
