So i had my center piece painted to match the car. ( I use my old one off my old gs to see how i would like it)

I cant decide if I should keep it or put the OEM eclipse one back on.

Help me decide? what are your inputs!

thanks! Ill see if I can get some pics up dsmtuners isnt letting me right now
 
Personally I'm not a big fan of the painted center pieces. I've got mine all smoked. But my car is black so it kinda flows. :) Personal opinion. :)
 
Whichever you like best. I myself am partial to the OEM look. Even keeping the 'Eclipse' badging. I do think that it would look nice to paint the center and put the badging back on. Have you considered that?
 
I had my Talon's center piece painted a dark bronze, and i loved it, got plenty of compliments all the time about it. I was going to have the wheels painted the same, but ended up doing them black/red lip...


Ive seen some 2gs use lettering from the 4g eclipse, or put something totally different altogether...I think i saw someone chop up a badge from a caddy so it said "Evil" LOL

Yeah i was thinking about doing my oem one and keeping the eclipse one.

I parted out my old gs and just saved the center piece and tried it out. I like it both ways I just cant decide
 
yeah thats what i think too. Least there not hard to swap in and out.

Is anyone else having problems uploading pictures? I havnt been able to for like a week and a half.
 
I got some pics uploading in my galley, avatar isnt working, whatever. feel free to check them out.

Going to take somemore at the meet with my new wheels!!!!

Some really clean DSMs you have there, sir. I think the 'Eclipse' badging over the painted center would look good. Did you paint the white center with OEM Northstar White?
 
I like what mine says.

But I also have three center sections. One with the word lip, one de-badged, and one OEM one with eclipse on it.

i personally love the painted center piece. mine has an eclipse vinyl on it and i think it looks fantastic. you can kinda see it in my uploaded photos if interested. but i really like this look over stock. hope that helps.
 
yeah i think im going to leave it. I hate when you see a eclipse like up the road and it just looks like one big red strip. I like the painted center piece. It makes it look wider

This guys is a prime example of hotness! I love the painted center with something custom on it. I.E. Vinyl, chopped badge, etc...
