Rep Power: 295 well its not really my first time but i did a lot of practice and study of autobody work...i just went with the blitz cuz i think it sells better..and the windows are tinted already but just not that dark...i woulda gone with the stock body but it cost a hell of a lot more than the blitz kit which i got...so i went with the blitz and the oem headlights were too expensive so i went with the halo projectors...engine i left stock cuz i wanna let the new owner do the mods they want themselves...i dont wanna lower it more cuz my bumper scrape like crazy at that ride height...its lower than stock since i got adjustable coilovers but i dont wanna risk mashing the front bumper up cuz i lower it more...maybe if a buyer wants it like that but ill leave it for now

Rep Power: 295 thanks for the comments guys....yea that vic is mine too...black housing and sidemarkers were the first mods...to the eclipse all i have done now are external mods nothing to the engine cuz i wanna let the buyer mod the engine themselves...plus its an AT so i dont wanna keep it...good for some highskool student or some chicks that like badass cars but dont wanna hastle with stick...and for us honda fans i decided to paint it with Night Hawk Black Pearl because after seeing a friends vic in that color i loved it with the blue pearl which reflects in the sun

I dont like the rims at all and the back tail/brake light looks like it has hella scratches on the top and bottom of it so that looks like ****... Those tires need to be worked on so that they shine black and not gray so that it matches the rest of ur car but that body kit does look pretty decent (sorry for all the hating, it just needs to be touched up a little bit..)

I've always liked that year's Eclipse, but yeah I agree on the rims too, they look kinda small. I have a friend that has the same car w/ 18"s and they look sick on his car. Imo, those cars look awesome with a nice kit. Hey raginSPAM, I've seen some real nice chrome tail lights that'd look great on your car...I see if I can fing the eBay link. Nice body kit by the way!
Gotta give you rep for doing the work yourself...

Rep Power: 295 its pretty easy to learn and to paint...but to do it well its hard...having the right hand strokes and movement patterns is very very important...and even coverage...otherwise ur paintjob will look like ****...also a paint booth is HIGHLY recommended and not doing it in a garage with drop cloths all over the place and calling it converted to a paint booth...it makes me sad to see those who do that without any proper ventillation and air drafting...dust free is very important
