The bump...like it or not?

Just curious. Personally, I love it. It's gives them a certain personality that other cars don't have. A cute but naughtiness nuture.:D

At first I hated it. Now I like it and would rather have a bump than no bump. It's like the eclipses' trademark or something. Every non eclipse person I know doesn't like it though.

That bump in my hood means im happy to see you!

The bump rulz!!! I like bumps :D

i think the bump brings in more aerodynamics! and its coo lookin

looks cool

i like it

i at one time disliked it but now i wouldnt have it anyother way

aerodynamics?

like what?

as an non DSM owner, i like it, it kinda looks mean, rough, unkempt...

like how the 2nd gen rx7 had a mildly off center hood scoop...

made ya look twice at it...

i remember reading a car and driver article from a long time ago, they competely dissed the bump claiming it appeals to a 20 year old motorhead. whats up with that? that's styling and uniqueness at its finest.

the bump you mention, every now and then people ask me if it is there for a reason. the only reason i can think of is that the GT-X uses that spot for a turbo. is that ture or total bull?
I have a GS so i have no clue as to what it could be used for.

It is to clear the timing belt.

I liked the bump. :)

I think the bump looks badass, and it adds to the already agressive looks of the eclipse/talons.

:bigthumb: to the bump.

But I hate when everyone asks if its for the turbo, ecpecially on my ESi :rolleyes:

i like it. it makes the cars already aggressive look, look alot meaner. :bigthumb:

I like the bump , kinda makes people think that your engine is big and bad that it cant be contained in such a small hood that we need a bump to fit even more engine in...hahahha

Well I dont really care for it but I think it looks better than the normal hoods. The reason for doing this is probably to fit the turbo in, I might be wrong but I think thats why its there.

:rolleyes: :rolleyes:

the turbo is not even close to the hood. but good try.

Damnit SPIKO read all of the thread. just so you know the reason that the bump is there is to clear the cam gears. if you read the first page of the thread you would have seen this.
