The more I thought about it though, I think it could be pretty sweet if done right. If you put some serious time and $$ into your car (I'm thinking it will take about 10-15k to do it right) and built yourself an 11 second eclipse that had all the looks of the F&F eclipse, that would be awesome. It would be a great show car and nobody would expect the car to be actually fast.

If the F&F eclipse pulled up next to me, I'd laugh and immediately try racing it. If I lost to it...major kudos.

That said...I have no idea what they put into that car. I'd say you go with mod the exterior and interior according to what you can see in the movie, and build the engine disregarding F&F stuff. Just dress up the engine bay when you are done. I'm on board for helping however I can.
I agree...but ditch the metal racing wing, that is just crappy...at the very least get the turbo spoiler (unless your gsx is a 97-99 and you already have it.)
