Attachment 8209

NO RICE NO RICE NO RICE. LOL. ROTM material. One of the few gs's thats not riced or messed up.

RE: MY SPYDER GOT A MAKEOVER
 

that looks sweet man, keep up the good work, where and how did you paint the car?

RE: MY SPYDER GOT A MAKEOVER
 

I didn't paint it myself, I took it to a friends shop everything was my idea done by him the insurance gave him $1,500 and we were able to do all this. Everything has a lifetime warrenty. I haven't seen many eclipses with what I have and if they do a lot of times their riced out. Damn I can't wait till I drop the mods in and paint the valve cover to match my car!!!!!!!!

RE: MY SPYDER GOT A MAKEOVER
 

It looks really good and post pics when you start installing all your goodies.

RE: MY SPYDER GOT A MAKEOVER
 

ya ill keep you guys posted as i go, more feedback please. thanks

RE: MY SPYDER GOT A MAKEOVER
 

i debadged my red gs. i liked it. how did u do it?

RE: MY SPYDER GOT A MAKEOVER
 

my car came with only the mitsu symbol on back and on front. they took em off wen they repainted the car but i like it better without them, and once i drop my stuff in it will be a sleeper.

RE: MY SPYDER GOT A MAKEOVER
 

Any suggestions on what appearence stuff to do next....im thinking rims.

RE: MY SPYDER GOT A MAKEOVER
 

im talking about the bumper. the indent.


ither rims or lower it

RE: MY SPYDER GOT A MAKEOVER
 

lower than rims, BTW nice avvy

RE: MY SPYDER GOT A MAKEOVER
 

sum dodge big ass van backed into me at a gas station haha. going like 0miles an hour. it was so big it was beeping when it backed up.

RE: MY SPYDER GOT A MAKEOVER
 

haha thanks I just made it. I do a little bit of graphics on the side I did my sig to.

RE: MY SPYDER GOT A MAKEOVER
 

he meant how did you get rid of the indent that the mitsu symbol fits into on the front of the bumper... my guess is with the new bumper it either didnt come with one or they just filled it with bondo o something... but yea i would say rims first than lower, actually just do it all at the same time

RE: MY SPYDER GOT A MAKEOVER
 

ya thats what im going to do Im rim shopping and suspension shopping. its weird I got my bumper from the dealer and it didnt have an indent lol odd.

RE: MY SPYDER GOT A MAKEOVER
 

ah. lucky. i had to use plastic fuzor. that ****s a B

RE: MY SPYDER GOT A MAKEOVER
 

that sucks. Keep me in mind for ROTM time ill try to have it all in by next month ITS GOING TO BE A BEAST. Basically a stroked and bored gst I'll video tape the conversion.

RE: MY SPYDER GOT A MAKEOVER
 

yea i wouldnt count on rotm haha cause we havent done it for quite some time now

RE: MY SPYDER GOT A MAKEOVER
 

ya this site has helped me a lot its a shame its having problems. anyways more feedback please. thanks for those that have complemented

RE: MY SPYDER GOT A MAKEOVER
 

man very nice car. I actually really like those headlights. And the smoked look came out good. Nice job. I would definetly do rims and lower that beast...i think lowering could be first though

RE: MY SPYDER GOT A MAKEOVER
 

i would go rims first so u can get clearense n c how low u wanna go

RE: MY SPYDER GOT A MAKEOVER
 

any suggestions? i was thinking black rims with chrome lip. any good site with good price suspension?

RE: MY SPYDER GOT A MAKEOVER
 

you can get decent priced suspension from a number of different places... and yea i definitely for black wheels with a chrome lip, or dark gunmetal

RE: MY SPYDER GOT A MAKEOVER
 

I was thinking about the gunmetal until I seen these

These are hyper black (kinda looks like dark gunmetal)

RE: MY SPYDER GOT A MAKEOVER
 

andysautosport for lowering coils and struts, get 1.5-2" lowering coils, that car would look good

RE: MY SPYDER GOT A MAKEOVER
 

those wheels are actually kinda cool lookin

RE: MY SPYDER GOT A MAKEOVER
 

I say get something a little more up to date than the chrome lip on black.

RE: MY SPYDER GOT A MAKEOVER
 

What do ya suggest? i like the hyperblack not to dark. And they look cool would match a car called a "spyder". looks like a spider web

RE: MY SPYDER GOT A MAKEOVER
 

Work Emotion CR Kai in Bronze

http://www.z1auto.com/images/emotionbronze2.jpg

My personal favs.

They also come in gunmetal and white.

RE: MY SPYDER GOT A MAKEOVER
 

ehhhhhhhh!.... I don't really like bronze rims...it remindes me of hondas that are painted yellow with red rims. A little to ricey IMO. They look good on the sti though, but not really on an eclipse.

RE: MY SPYDER GOT A MAKEOVER
 

you could get 'em in gunmetal tho

RE: MY SPYDER GOT A MAKEOVER
 

Honestly these are pretty respcted rims in the curcuit racing world.

Last year in GT Touring there was an M3 with these on..... they are far from rice my friend ;)

RE: MY SPYDER GOT A MAKEOVER
 

car really does look nice.

are coilcovers a good idea?

RE: MY SPYDER GOT A MAKEOVER
 

Good coilovers are a good idea. Not eBay coilovers...

RE: MY SPYDER GOT A MAKEOVER
 

I would consider coilcovers on my car, but it has 127k miles and I dont wanna put a whole lotta money into it if Im not gonna have it for a real long time.

whats an example of a "good" coilcover

RE: MY SPYDER GOT A MAKEOVER
 

not ebay haha, i dunno eibach, tein, ect... name brand

RE: MY SPYDER GOT A MAKEOVER
 

those are like 3 grand?! would it be better to use lowering springs?

(hahaha ebay ones are like 80 bucks)

RE: MY SPYDER GOT A MAKEOVER
 

They are 3 grand for a reason....

RE: MY SPYDER GOT A MAKEOVER
 

Thos rims are everywhere in california though thats why I don't like them that much....I'm not calling them rice I was refeering to the color scheme which was black and bronze, looks good on the subaru sti, not sure about the eclipse. They look clean on some cars but to plain for me haha. I bet there light as hell though

RE: MY SPYDER GOT A MAKEOVER
 

those things are crazy expensive, arent they?
