Why...?

[MazdaX]

Please explain this logic to me as I don't understand spray painting the interior.....I don't know if you guys remember when I popped in the DSM forum from Mazda when I first got my eclipse but it had been completely spray painted yellow inside and under the hood and it had 4 mismatch rims / tires , trashed interior , missing parts everywhere so when I find things like these I reflect back to my own purchasing experience and wonder why someone would do this to their car....

Notice the circles...guess where the stereo is....



And the heatshield and brake fluid cap.....?



The door panels ? :/



What the hell is with the lights and that ugly airplane wing...?



Is the fuse box painted to 'fade' with the red ... o.O ?



Looks like the wheels I had on my 1984 Fiero...sweet paint job XD



Hmm..no air filter system..must add major horse POWers..



One reliable motor...."Has been sitting for about four years without being started "



Mm...faded 420A..

Banana boat comin through on some sick 14"s....



Painted plastics....again...o.O



How sweet is copper on gray... :/





Psshhh "This is your captain speaking , we are ready for take off.."



Hmm..me hungry for wire...



Gold member...? o.O



Red on white..hmm...



Oh to the snaps..






Ok i'm done for now O.o...lol...

LOL, that was a good one. I like the tail lights though, where can I get them? Seriously.

Uhh I think it's just basic supra lights but you have to modify the bumper and rear 1/4 panels or something..there is a write up on how to do it somewhere IIRC.

When done right, I actually like the supra tail lights. Thats one of the things I dont like so much about 2g's.

[EDMUND65]

this shoudl be the thread about ruined DSM's

[vanilla gorilla]

Supra tails are ok.

What was supposed to be bad about that plain red 2ga RS? Looks pretty nice to me.

The spray painted gold engine bay..?...sickening.

It wasn't spray painted, it was puked on.

Agreed

[steviek]

wow that gold one was hideous. I mean why would you just spray paint everything> Edit the guys a cowboys fan nuff said.
I agree this was funny but sad at the same time
People on this forum think my 18's are too gaudy I should just link this thread then say take your pick.

Are you sure your aware of what this thread is about ? :/ it's not doggin the 420A or the 4G63.

It's the spray paint man...Like I said before I seen the eclipse and fell in love with it however the one I just so happened to purchase had the interior ( all of it almost ) spray painted yellow with like...highway yellow paint and under the hood. I've spent a lot of time restoring the car back to it's original look inside and out and I look back when I see people do this to their DSM's and wonder ....why ?

I can understand someone doing it to something shitty like a crx or civic hatch or celica but why the DSM's ? They offer a far more sophisticated class/modernized look over the typical ricers....


Oh for the record, I didn't search the internet I just so happened to be browsing Ebay for Eclipses that were for sale - All pics are from Ebay :/

What in the hell is wrong with painting the interior of a car? I'm sort of offended by this thread. And matching the engine bay to the rest of the color scheme as well? I guess you might as well put my whole RS in this thread, because I've painted my interior (not spraypaint, but still), and I matched the underhood to the exterior.

This thread FTL.

[SilvrEclipse]

Not all of those cars were that bad, but some were hideous.

Garrett - Your car actually looks pretty sweet. Most of these cars were not done right which makes them look shitty.

[1992eclipseGS]

Some of these cars were hideous.. The gold painted engine bay in general... (what the hell was he/she thinking??)..but alot of these cars.. I see almost nothing wrong with them::

1st pic- This looks like its a girls car.. flowery seat covers.. not my taste but to each his own...hopefully "hers" in this case.. and so what if the center console is painted.. doesn't look bad.

3rd pic- Whats wrong with this one?? Door panels are painted.. so what? looks pretty decent to me.. especially if it was done with a rattle can.

4th pic- Wing needs to go.. but other than that.. this is seriously good modified body!.. nice molding, fender flaring, tail light conversion, and paint job!... minus to the wing.. this is one of the best modified DSM's that i've seen. Not a fan of the negative camber though.

5th pic- This looks like a case of bad masking!

9th pic- Stock eclipse?? whats the problem??

11th pic- painted interior.. look pretty decent??

15th pic- this DSM owner has a mesh grill instead of open space.. So what??

Why knock on people for doing stuff they obviously like?? So what if the car you bought was pained with "caution yellow".. some people have bad taste.. Painting interior pieces is pretty common.. I would love to get rid of my ugly tan interior. And the term "RICER" is making your car look like something its not.. like puting a turbo emblem on the back of your RS.. thats rice.. not painting your interior!
