2nd Gen Hood on a 3rd Gen Eclipse (One Power Hump)

soulr · #1 09-28-2005, 10:05 PM

I'm sure everybody is familiar with the characteristic one hump hood design featured on previous generation Eclipse's. Many people, myself included, believe that it was a huge mistake to change the hood design on the third gen hood.
First, does anybody know of such a hood existing? A one hump hood, for a third generation eclipse.

the 3G does have a hump in the hood. its just not as big as the 2G.

i think i missed the hump, i kno it has 2 kidneys closer to the windshield... never seen a hump though

the hump on the 2gs is for the cam gears. they wanted the hood low but the cam gears were in the way so mitsu just made a hump to fit them, and we dont have a problem with cam gear so y do u want one?

thats the problem, those two little humps don't cut it. and its not a matter of whats under the hood, its about the look. the 3rd gen is missing what many people expected the next eclipse to have (next refering from the past to the 3rd gen).

i believe this is the first time ive EVER heard that people thought the 3G should have that hump. and ive been hearing the 2G crap for a loooonnng time. maybe its just the people that you know.

Wasnt talking about the hood. Was talking about this specific comment:

if you really want a larger hump like the 2nd g had in your hood. . . . i'll let you borrow my sledge hammer if you want to meet me somewhere. Very easy application. Takes less than 5 mins.
