need some eyecandy

[95eclispe]

ok so i have 95 eclipse right now and ive done a little to the outside but i feel it needs more to become a headturner. i added a gsx spoiler dropped the car 2 inches and put some liquidmetal black rims on it with red trim. i also replaced the headlights to projectors and added a 97 bumper on it as well. it has a very decals on the quarter panel windows and thats about it. Im looking to add more but need some ideas without steering too much into the "ricer look". the car is in need of a paint job too

 

[MHuddy1213]

a nice paint job maybe a carbon fiber hood it all depends on what you like really

 

[95eclispe]

i was considering maybe adding a front lip to it since it would be a nicer look without going full bodykit like most everyone does when they get a dsm

 

[MHuddy1213]

that would deffinatly change the look of it and i love that look your car is already dropped so how low would you be around here i cant drop it cause my roads a terrible

 

[95eclispe]

well its pretty low now but let me remind you i dropped the car in tennessee just put new springs and down there the roads are amazing but when i got to NY its horrible. I feel even the slightest bump but im guessing its just that our cars are low? and some roads not all of them are bad so im ok with just a front lip

You should black out your windows and tail lights

 

[MHuddy1213]

or if you really want to get crazy do the l.e.d tailight setup 98 Eclipse Sequential LED Tail Lights - YouTube

well my tints are as dark as i can get them without getting pulled over daily and i want to leave my taillights alone just want to shave of the centerpiece to where i dont have the lettering in them

haha that seems like a little too much for me and it looks like a long process with alot of painful sodering time but i already white glowface led gauges and i added red LED light striped under the driver and passenger pretty much under the steering wheel and where the glovebox is its a nice look and still looks sublte just want to focus on the outside more

They are only glued on. Take the letters off and paint the center section the same color as the car. It really changes what the rear looks like.

 

[MHuddy1213]

best way to remove the letters too is fishing line itll cut right through the glue then just get some googone and scrub away

change the color of the car if its white , to candy red its fantastic on DSM

if you want pics let me know i can post for you my pics

 

[95eclispe]

any ideas what to use for the lettering without damaging the centerpiece or scraping/scratching it?

 

[MHuddy1213]

fishing line like i stated before

it does but it would cost double than just keeping the car the original color isnt a candyred coat more anyway since its not a basic color? and does anyone know if the mitsubishi paint still on recall? i know it was since it would wear off easily i just dont know if it still is and im planning on repainting my car

Why not spend some money on making it not slow

well any ideas on what to invest on and ill let you know what i got under the hood already
like i said i was posting on the looks not performance wise but shoot me an idea

 

[MHuddy1213]

start a new thread and let us know what you got well give our input dont cross threads

 

[RayBan GST]

you asked for EYECANDY

IMHO many DSMs will not stand out with white color , very rare white dsms are an eye candy its not impossible but its harder than RED or black for sure. i saw only few white eye catching dsms,i am talking about 2g here.

candy red is going to be more expensive yes but its really worth it , but its pain to clean ask me

You can start by using a hair dryer to heat up the letters so the glue will become sticky and easy to fish it off.

im posting one now keep an eye out

 

[MHuddy1213]

if you use hair dryer be careful not to warp or melt anything thats only reason i suggest fishing line but hair dryer will work too and especially good when removing the glue

Sell it and buy a gsx, there is no greater eye candy then a awd launch

I think white; white pandas specifically look the best out of any color. White is so clean, and with black accents it really pops.

And we have a winner. Best advice you'll get, I promise

well if i go with a carbon fiber hood and lip maybe that should do it?
