the spyder doesnt look like it used to

[A. Van]

Are you going to change the stock size speaker openning? What size is the new speaker hole and whats the mounting depth. I like that idea.

 

['96_Talon_TSi]

its a damn shame my belt sander is way too powerful... I have one of those electric hand buffers... i should see if it has an attachment for sanding... good ide though, didn;t even think of that

 

[SUPERSPYDER]

What are you doing for bass. I have a spyder and can't figure out where to put a sub?

 

[EuroGSTSpyder]

Stock speaker opening is not used since I ripped out the plastic behind the door panel and made a new one as in the pics. Bigger hole will keep a 6,5 and the smaller one 5,25.
¨For bass I am making a custom fiberglass enclosure in the backseat area. I rippedout the seats and makes a complete setup in its place.The one I had this year is tossed out fora new style.Check my page: http://come.to/gstspyder and go to mods/stereo.

I never lef tthe car to a shop for anything...so why start now? I am making my own custom enclosure..just like I did the last one myself.
I am attempting such a thing myself hopefully this summer but since I live in SWEDEN I cannot point you to a shop wher you can have it done..sorry :-(

Are your new rims going to hang outside of the wheel well.If so,are u going to add fender flares to your car so these rims will not look bad.I have installed 19" Axiss(ne-o) on my 98 eclipse spyder and they stick outside of the wheel well a little.That why im purchasing the NX widebody kit.

 

[EuroGSTSpyder]

They will fit in exactly under the fender edge..no need to modify anything.The ofset is done so it will fit as is.

 

[jaxon23]

what kind of rims are those and where did you order them? i love that lip

 

[EuroGSTSpyder]

The rims are Kosei GZZA 8,5x18.
I ordered them here at the local store but you can always go directly to Kosei and find a dealer close to you.

The BC2 kit will look awesome. Are you going to keep the same paint scheme? As far as the wing, I don't like it, but like you said it's your car, not to mention you show it. You say you have 18x8.5s before, do you remember what offset?

 

[EuroGSTSpyder]

No piantjob will not be the same in any way.The car will not be black..it will not have any tribe pattern...

Hmm..offset was 38 I think..I am not sure though.Will check on my new ones and see how they fit..they are 38....

 

[InfamousEclipse]

wow shes going to look GORGEOUS! Man- LOVE the Rims! Stay with it!

 

[bryan_tberry]

Teh rear bumper looks a bit ghetto from where you cut it out for teh dual tips. You should round it out a bit. Otherwise it looks good man, cant wait to see teh end result!

 

[EuroGSTSpyder]

The cutout was just so I could fit the bumper over the tips...no the final look.I had to cut it out so I could get the bumper there in the first place ya know and see how it would fit up agaisnt stock body.The end result will not look like that But thanx for the opinion

 

[Rice Over Wheat]

BC2 is one of the nicest fronts out there and I was considering it myself...can't wait to see the end result!

ROW

 

[simoniz]

How much lower does the BC2 sit? Compared to the stock front bumper.How low did u lower your car?I have a set of 19" axis,and would like to know if a 1.5" drop or a 2" drop look and handle better?Does the BC2 body kit line up straight?

 

[drifted_eclipse]

Car looks awesome man! What wing is that? Anyway, its going to look amazing! It seems like alot of people are working with fiberglass right now, and i was wondering if when you fiberglass your plastic panels, such as the door panel, if you could just put a few layers of just resin on it, and then sand it to be smooth? Thanks! Keep up the good work man!
