Looks good. Is that bumper aftermarket or did you just fill in the Mitsu logo on the stock one?

well...its aftermarket...but before i had it painted there was a triangle indention for a emblem...didnt like it and couldnt find a mitsu symbol i liked so i told em to fill it in with a little bondo...

MAN, that looks SO TERRIBLE ;).

Just playing man, its very sexy. However, you need to take that SUV down off of those stilts. Lower that shit man!

What kind of underglow are you running?

now you lower it

What are you talking about, we like to use our Eclipses for offroading, don't you know that's the new trend?? :lol:

IMO, the streetglows look brighter than the silverstars but actually have less light output. I had streetglows on my truck and though they looked very bright they didnt light up alot of the road at night. The silverstars arent as "white" but the light output is alot better.

yeah everyones tells me i need to lower... umm i'm dropped 2.5"s and have the dented frame rails to prove it.

all silver paint looks great, i told you it would be super clean. next is mirrors and door handles.

I actually took mine off-road once, it was kinda bumpy but it was all dry. I was in a huge hurry trying to follow a friend in his little Kia SUV and the bastard went off-road.

Truck lift saved my life.

Youuu need to get some rims, those stockers just don't cut it these days. :thumbsup:

I'm so broke thats the best I can afford for now.

I like the way the matched paint looks. :2cents:

they were Optix...got em from pep boys...only like 100 bucks...but i had to take em off because i got pulled for them a while back...there were 3 of us in the car and we "looked suspisous" so it gave him a reason to pull me...luckily i wasnt doing anything stupid because i didnt notice he was behind me for a mile and a half...anyways he told me to either take them off or pay a $200 dollar fine...so yeah they were gone the next day

The car looks sweet dude, and the Street Glow looks cool.

they were Optix

Oops sorry didn't catch this when I post Street Glows.

They made an edit button for a reason. :)

As for the street glows. I added quick inline disconnects and mine are zip tied onto brackets so they are trivial to take on and off. I love the glows.

And welcome to the I drive a Eclipse 4x4 Club. :) The secret is like my car when he takes pictures it's really up on jackstands :)

nova...great idea...i dont know why i didnt think about that...but i figure if i get caught again it will be in the cop computer saying ive been pulled for them once and i wont get another "take em off or pay a fine" option...but i may get some color changing streetglows anyways:smokin: eff da police

I don't think they do that, because I have been pulled over for not having a front license plate like 6 times, and each time I ask them where exactly I should mount it because I have no bracket or anything (by choice, the dealer offered to mount one when I bought it and I told them no :lol:). The cop always just tells me to take it to a local dealer and get it mounted as soon as possible...."yes officer, I will get right on that". :disappoin It's been a year and a half and I have yet to have been forced to mount it.

well good thing about living in PA, is we don't need front plates. :)

I live in Mn and we do need front plates, but you can all see how well I listen:lol:

...I ask them where exactly I should mount it because I have no bracket or anything

Me too, I took mine off and it looks so much better. I've been pulled over once and that was it. The rest of the cops seem have that "ahhh fuck it" attitude about it lately which is just fine with me. But I asked if it would be ok to mount it in the windshield and he said no, but yet you see like a bajillion people doing it.

Mines been in the windshield and I've never had a problem here in Ohio. :)

I got blue led glows from crutchfield. The brackets sucked so I fabbed my own. 6 90's with 3 holes in for a screw and a zip tie to pass through, then I did 2 more brackets with less of a bend for the back bumper and finally just drilled holes in the air dam in the front lip and zip tied there. Looks great.

I suggest the multicolor led lights from crutchfield. I forget who makes them exactly but they look great. :)

got another pic i thought was hot...thought id post...


by the way...a front plate isnt required here :biggrin:
