2000+ Eclipse Engine Dress-Up

[Nexagen]

Aside from wires and stuff here is what I am looking for to add to a 3G's engine bay...


Reverse Open Hood System (Hood Opens from top and pivots at nose)
3G Engine Covers (A thin Colored Plastic Cover for the Engine in Blue or Red)
OEM Style 100% Carbon Fiber Hood

Now does anyone know where I can get this stuff?

Ok, well for one, you cannot have the reverse open hood AND an OEM style CF hood. And why get OEM style? I would get a vented one as it looks so much better. plus that would not work as there is not room for the hood to rotate on.

And forget the thin plastic cover for the engine. It will melt and distort and cause you problems and headaches you really don't want to deal with.

If you want a painted engine bay, get a permanent marker and go to town. To paint the tops of your caps, paint the entire cap and then sand it with fine grit sand paper. That will allow the letters to show.

i would go with the VIS Evo style carbon fiber hood. or u could get the reverse hood and get lambo doors. that would look hot. if u want to color your engine bay, u could look into chrome plating it but that could be pretty expensive. some people take a permanent marker and color the letters on the valve cover. ive also seen some take off the whole valve cover and paint it. just some suggestions.

Coloring with a marker is the poor mans way out. It looks like shit. Take it to a shop and have it done right.

No one makes an engine cover. Its a waste anyway, like Johnny said.

You could have a CF hood and have it open from the front, but it probably wouldnt look too good to drill holes through the fromt of a CF hood.
