Ok i have a 1990 eclipse 5spd turbo , i just got the whole engine basicly re-done and all cleaned up the only thing wrong with it is little areas on the body and i was thinking about using bondo to fix it and then repaint it , throw some neons on it and maybe a body kit if i can find one , but it seems that body kits for a 1990 eclipse are harder than hell to find, and one want to give me some suggestions to do with my car , its basicly my project car i want to make it look pimp but do most of the stuff my self, i have the tools just not the ideas.:frog:

I would suggest just keep it clean. 1g's aren't really made for show. If it was mine, here's what I would do; Lowered about 1.5inches, slap on some nice racing rims, do the interior entirely in cf, put in a nice stereo, get all of the dings fixed & paint it black(best color for 1gs imho), & then focus on the motor. You have the 4g63, which is a very capable motor. Stock internals can widthstand up to 400hp.
Good luck.:)

How much does carbon fiber interior cost , and also think i should take off the stock spoiler and put a new one on? i was thinking about a body kit but the only way 1990 eclipse can get a body kit is if you get it modified to your car which i was thinking about doing that , but what do you think the price for stuff like that is? email me or AIM me email is hardflip68@yahoo.com and AIM is spitefire229
