the green eclipse? you mean off of the fast and the furious......hmmm i guess i should tsk at you......*tsk*.......ok there, im done
anyway, sorry, i dont know the mods...cant say i really want to either...but there are so many better ways to build a fast eclipse.....one being to not use the fast and the furious model...and turbo it or something....unless you want a 100 shot of nitrous oxide...and we all know what that did
anyway, what kind of eclipse do you have? RS GS GS-T GSX? what year?
ill try to look up the mods somewhere and get back to you on that

Yea what do you mean "green eclipse"? If you do mean the car in F&F, that car was weak on real life, it was a GS with a cat-back and maybe a header......

and even if you did have all the "hollywood" mods like the 100 shot direct port nos, etc. etc. etc. you still wouldnt have a 10 second car on your hands, nowhere close

I've heard this all too many times -- someone wanting to make an eclipse like that. The car in the movie was just a prop. Anyway, be creative and do your own thing. You could make a car 100x more badass and save money while at it if you're not trying to copy the movie one. Personally I'd like to see a blue or black eclipse with some nice white, blue, or silver racing stripes. Dropped a few inches and no body kit... that adds weight and I'd rather put the $$ in performance, reliability, and support modifications. If you have $$ to waste at the end go with a body kit and whatever but seriously you don't want to advertise your riciness or tell people what you got under the hood. And if you want to be cool get performance shit and prove yourself not flash shit you don't have.

yeah, that car wasn't very good at all... i heard there were selling it on ebay along with the integra gsr.... there's nothing special about those cars as far as mods... no fi or anything, just the basic stuff.
my recommendation is to get a gsx or gst... i found a bunch on autotrader.com and i'm sure you can get deals on ebay too (if you're into that kind of stuff)
get a good platform to work with! good luck!

If you want to save some money, don't go for the eclipse. Get an Eagle Talon tsi AWD. They're the EXACT SAME CAR -- both are made by mitsubishi. They look exactly the same (except for a small spoiler change), they have the exact same parts inside, and whatever fits on an eclipse will fit on a talon!
The talon however runs at least a grand cheaper because they arent as advertised. And don't buy the car from a dealer -- get it from a private seller and negotiate. If you want to turn the car into an "eclipse" afterward all you have to do is take the spoiler and badgings off and I promise you the rest of the car is 100% the same.

the rear lights and bumper are different. the center of the light section has the plate in it, vs the eclipse with the plate in the bumper... the sides fit the same though, meaning that if you switched out the rear bumper and lights and bracketry, it would be the same. however, the rear is different. the front is just a different bumper cover...

Hmmm, i saw that on ebay after the movie was released and i don't know hardly anything about it, i know there's a Battle Kit on the front and an APR wing on the back ;) don't know if it's GT1, or 2??? I think there's some sites where u can find those graphic kits too if u really wanna make it authentic, they're somewhere around 3 or 4 hundred though, later

Man be original, come up with your own thing, trust me, itll look a lot nicer that way, youll like it better and so will everyone else......
........if you are gonna bodykit it, i do think the Battle Z kit looks real nice for an eclipse

there is no subsitute for originality...trust me on this one. if you want an eclipse, get the GSX....fine tune it...drop it...if your in to kits, do that...just be original...make sure that what you do looks nothing like any other eclipse you've seen.
