Yes too much i agree. I think it has to do with the overwhelming amount of white. Especially in the areas i circled in red. as well as the driver side door. I was thinking if i could come up with something subtle to put in the door areas or on the dash it would take some of the white away and be much easier on the eye.

uh that is one bad ass interior, but i guess you could probably put some emblem of a red mistubishi symbol or maybe a spyder or eclipse badge. Honestly though, that interior is amazing and i would not want to touch it. The white looks great and you chose to have a color interior so I don't really see why you would want to take away from the white.

Another idea would be to coat the red area circled above the dash with carbon fiber so it isn't as bright, but otherwise i think the doors are alright.
(unless like i said earlier you put emblems or badge it up, maybe even that TV idea...)
 
@ Tiki - Thank you, I only added the dash kit because the jerk who owned it before me did the whole spray can thing. same thing with the doors. I was thinking actual carbon fiber. I have spent so so much time getting rid of all the ghetto rigged crap and plastic mods and spray paint from the previous owner i would hate to add any paint or emblems. I am in the midst of removing the greddy vinyl on the door that he put there. ( BTW there was nothing Greddy on the car when i got it) LOL

@ black widow - ty, Yes dark or black would be best, i was thinking the same, thats why CF came to mind.

Just for you zombie -

Maybe you could mask off an area similar to the insert on the stock door panels and paint that area black. Or you could cut out a piece of CF look vinyl in the same shape and stick it there.
 
@ mattasi - TY, What you added was 100 x's better than zombie LOL

@ Ktgurl and Lurker - I really liked it after it was doen, I thought it went well together too, but on a sunny day that bright white really sticks out LOL i have to take it down a notch somehow LOL creates a glare on the windshield too.

@ blackwidow and lurker - I would like it to be real CF, i do like the idea on the pic you showed lurker. that never even came to mind to wrap the area around the handle, switch panel and side vent. looks sweet!
 
Don't do a thing. That's a nice interior. I have the same dash-overlay, and I'd like to get my hands on those Team RIP door panels. It's golden how it is. Leave it. Less is more.

EDIT: I didn't mean Team RIP....I can't remember the name of the company put those out originally, so nevermind. Nice door panels though. Think I'll start looking for a set.
 
ok just an idea, and if im stealing your idea lurker if thats your ride in the pic i wont give it another thought.

carbon fiber overlay in the grey areas and maybe a black spider man emblem in the red area?

That looks awesome! Who's car is that?

It's Nikola's ride (Nikola is his user name). He's got a keen eye on detail and made it work incredibly well.

It's not mine, I just came across it in the recent pics. Although I'd suggest giving the owner of the cf overlay props. He did an amazing job integrating it.
 
man come to my house and hook my eclipse up like that
 
@ lurker - yeah he did. if the idea wasnt sick enough alone, he did an awesome job putting it on. I did a search for Nikola and couldnt find him/her. Hey i noticed your in brampton, im right over the border in buffalo. I have family in st. catherines and oakville.

@Wheelman - Thank you, Im torn between a bunch of ideas and just leaving it as is LOL

@ ceth - send me a plane ticket we can work it out, I need vaca anywayz LOL
 
I wouldn't do the spiderman logo; it's too tacky. The car looks clean and I think you should keep it that way.


If you want to do something in carbon fiber, you may want to try wrapping it with a carbon vinyl wrap first. Then you can work out the lines to make it flow. Plus it would give you a template to transfer onto the carbon fiber.
 
Thanks Knockgoon, That is a smart idea. But now on debating on touching it all LOL. I still think i might have to do a lil something on the dash as far as a cf wrap. at the right time of day the glare is really bad. What part of PA are you in. Im in Erie all the time. Literally all the time my wife is in med school there so im there 3-4 days out of the week.
 
I LOVE THE LIGHT BAR !!!! BUT PLEASE DON"T USE THAT EMBLEM( COMING FROM A GUY WITH SPYDERMAN IN HIS NAME HUH=)))) like everybody says, put some carbonfiber overlay's and insert's to balance it.

real CF is going to cause glare as well.... CF Wrap would be more matte... but i always like real CF, im on your side, just think about glare on that end also..
