finally got the car back.....pics inside...

[fuzzyturtles]

Im not usually a big fan of red but that looks real nice

 

[GreddyGst]

You buddy did a hela of job with the paint.

 

[napkinthief]

Your car looks great man! I just not a big fan of clear tail lights and m3 style fenders.

Just a heads up...

Red = Cop = Ticket

Make sure to follow the speed limit.

theres a few variations to that formula

eclipse = cop = ticket
young man = cop = ticket
exhaust = cop = ticket

ticket + ticket + ticket = damn im broke

car is beatiful, i dont personally like the headlights, would be nicer with the same red housing as the car, i dont mind the tails though. the grill needs to be painted black both in the fenders and the front. and if you like neons, throw them into the fenders, my friend got z3 fenders on his srt4 and red neon lights from the fenders looks sick

 

[ArticNemesis]

The paint looks awesome.

I agree the mesh could stand to be painted a darker color ie. black, gunmetal or something.

I don't mind the tailights, but the headlights just seem too bright for the front of the car. It kind of detracts from everything else.

Great choice in the rims by the way.

i only got those headlights because when i got my accident, the headlights were smashed to pieces and the OEM were more than the projectors.....

Also, I am thinking of putting my stock tails back in....less the ECLIPSE lettering on the middle section. Would that be too much red??? What do you guys think?? Does anyone have a pic of a red eclipse with the blitz rear and stock tails???


Yeah Im a sucker for the 5 spoke rim!! just looks alot cleaner...IMO

 

[eclipse0508]

Can someone tell me the best way and or type of way to wax my new paint job?? what is the best way to do it, with or without a buffer??

thanks....

 

[Livid]

Looks great I like the whole setup. I think with an inch or so drop itll look even better

Use a good wax, I like Meguires Paste wax, and a good wax aplicator and then use Micro-cloths to take the wax off. Make sure you never go through drive through car washs, and when you hand wash your car make sure the sponge is clean. Any little piece of dirt will scratch your car if you rub it, no matter how small it is. This is why you never write on a dirty car.

 

[CyberEye]

Don't really like the side scoupe thing, as it doesn't line up with anything on the door, and was never a fan of the Z3 fender vents. The color is great, and llooks good with the black hood though.

 

[bane3d]

The hood pins, are those sparco? I had a set like that on my elantra and the actual pin rusted. I'd say be very careful. The tope plate and holding pin was all aluminum so all it did was oxidize but the internal cotter pin wasn't and rusted within a month. Good luck to you.

 

[eclipse0508]

no the hoodpins are Hayame....they are titanium so im hoping they dont rust.

and about the 1 in drop.......i have some sprint springs to put on as soon as i get some time

 

[dsmmyth]

Also, I am thinking of putting my stock tails back in....less the ECLIPSE lettering on the middle section. Would that be too much red???

No.

What do you guys think??

Yes.

Does anyone have a pic of a red eclipse with the blitz rear and stock tails???

Tunerkid has stock tails on his, but there are no rear views of his car.

 

[eclipse0508]

thanks for the pic...i decided to put my stockers back in....actually i like it better now.

keep the comments coming guys.......the more criticism the better.

 

[gridlyne]

Look'n good. That paint job is first class. If I were in your shoes I would have just left the stock lights though.

 

[audiousECLIPSE]

Nice paint job.

If you don't wanna get rid of the altezza's, I'd say just replace the centerpiece, possibly with the ECLIPSE lettering, but polished. It would fit nice. Also, I'd say get some black-housing headlights, they'd look tits with your CF hood.

 

[t3/t4eclipse]

If you wouldnt mind, ask your buddy how many Millilitters of clearcoat he used on your car, I love the end result. It has the perfect ammount of gloss and shine to it.

 

[eclipse0508]

thanks for all the good comments guys....i thought i would be getting other remarks, but i did the car how i wanted and i m pretty happy with it so far. Im glad some of you guys agree....

about the amount of clear he used.......he told me that he sprayed almost a gallon of clear on it....

turned out nice, def worth 1000 including paint.

Anybody else with a blitz kit......post your pics.....

 

[95-DSM-RS]

that is sooo sick man...love everything about your car....I see what they are saying about the lights and all and the smoked headlights and tails would look great but they way it sits it still turns heads. Got my attention with it ...
