Picture Time!
Older Pics

The Sig:

These are the only good picture i have right now since it has been lowered , which is about a month ago. Now that i look back before it was lowered, that wheel gap just ruin all previous pics.

So these are the only ones i deem worthy for now. I will continue to update them as i go on Photo shoots. Forgive the pics for not being best quality. I have a cheap little 6.0 MP Samsung i got a while back.

This.. Is.... THE wash station! Also known as my driveway

Here are some picture from when i first had the car... OLD

My VERY first gas-up.... Ev3R!!!!

Crap Quality.

Back at my home town

Before the lowering, and the previous 2 wrecks. OEM Hood.. Early 08?

Wheel Gap!!! 4X4

ALL comments and criticism are welcome

I really like how your car looks, I dig the mods, and the future of the vehicle appears to be in good hands.

05eclipse05 · 06/03/2009, 12:29 AM

Appreciate it fellas. I added a couple more pics i forgot about!

Gangsta_Man · 06/03/2009, 12:34 AM

Looks great! Cant really nitpick anything! Maybe WW kit next?

05eclipse05 · 06/03/2009, 12:34 AM

After seeing Jeff's 3g at B2N, I'm sold on the SS.

PiMpPiStOl · 06/03/2009, 12:36 AM

There's not really anything I don't like about this car. Good job!

I liked driving it...even though it is auto

I agree though...nice car. I'm totally jealous!

03ECLPSGS · 06/03/2009, 01:56 AM

Love it man. Love the wheels, color matched side mirrors, pretty much same direction I am going. Could you PM on how to get the side mirrors off?

Nice tasteful mods.

Special_K · 06/03/2009, 07:59 AM

Still got the stock wheels?

eclipse001 · 06/03/2009, 08:28 AM

very nice looking car

Mark · 06/03/2009, 09:22 AM

not bad looking at all, but those have got to be the plainest looking Hooters girls I've ever seen.

Could have seen them in person if you would of come with Nick to Normal. Ya, central Illinois doesnt have great Hooters material.

shecter · 06/03/2009, 10:23 AM

great start man it looks really great silver and black.

scarr · 06/03/2009, 10:42 AM

hey man, where is a pic of the rear.. with the current parts?
car looks good, but we need more current pics of it.

The Remix Edition came from the factory with color matched mirrors.

2000sliverGT · 06/03/2009, 11:29 AM

By far one of the cleanest 3G's on the site. Mad Props 2 ya!

02TitaniumGT · 06/03/2009, 01:40 PM

The pictures make the car look good but it's 100x better in person, like I said when we met up your hood is awesome! I like the subwoofer box with the Mitsu. logo cutout, nice and original. I think both the Invidia and Evo II sound awesome on the 4 cylinder.

Can't wait to see it once you get the SS lipkit on it and have it painted 2 tone

Pull of the tweeter cover, and there are three bolts. Unscrew, and unplug switch if applicable

CrimsonGT · 06/03/2009, 03:40 PM

Good looking car!

I can tell you try to take care of it........keep up the excellent work.

You know what? Here's an offer.....maybe sometime before this summer ends, we should schedule a meet half-way between Lubbock and Denton over in Abilene (my hometown) and we can go on a photoshoot! I'll have a garage then and we can put both Eclipses in and detail them before the 'shoot, plus it's a place we can just hangout too.

Tempting? lol

wright06jhs · 06/03/2009, 03:53 PM

The car looks great. Good job on all your mods.

the first Remix edition i seen, was a gold one. It was really ugly but have all black leather interior which helped it out a lot.

RalliArt2000 · 06/03/2009, 04:38 PM

LOVE IT!!!!! a lil tire shine wouldn't hurt!

05eclipse05 · 06/03/2009, 04:42 PM

I would love to do that crim. Only problem is, it will most likely have to be after July. I have SO MUCH going on right now... but im def. tempted!

White Knight · 06/03/2009, 04:45 PM

car looks great, but you need a little more in the performance department

Like i stated, its my DD for now. What it needs to do for me is be reliable each and every day. Once i have a POS car i can use for a dd, the 3g will begin its days on jack stands. Then, i will move on futher into that.

Hijinx · 06/03/2009, 04:56 PM

Is it odd that when, in google, you type in 'eclipse remix,' your car pops up (autolog)? I can't see your pics, so I was trying to use my imagination. But, what a coincidence. It looks nice man, though there werent any pics with the hood.

05eclipse05 · 06/03/2009, 04:58 PM

lol yes i noticed that too. I think im the only remix out there that is proud of what he drives to a degree

. I was part of the autolog and car domain back in my highschool ricer-rific days. I used to have teh neons and window stickers FTL.

Coincidentally, that would work for me too. I'm currently taking Summer 1 and will be taking Summer 2 in July. So after July would be perfect for me too. After Summer 2 ends I will have 3 weeks before the Fall semester starts.

As time gets closer, we can talk more about it. But I'm glad to hear that you are interested!

martin m · 06/03/2009, 07:20 PM

i love those tyc's and the invidia

Count me in too as long as I still have the Eclipse and don't decide to trade in on a Mustang GT (hell I'll go even if I do trade it in). Still unsure as to what I want to do right now.

Back to the original topic

HIJACKER · 06/04/2009, 07:15 AM

I got your PM to visit the thread and give some advice/criticism/flaming or whatever.

Honestly - I think the car looks good, you've done a good job and I don't see anything ricey. I'm not a fan of the exhaust that much - not sure what it is, but it doesn't look like a very good one. On your list, your next mod you're planning to do is caliper painting. I think that's a great idea, it was the first thing I noticed in the photos. I know you mentioned painting them blue, and that's obviously to go along with the "neon theme" you have - but I think a dark red or paintmatched would look much better. Blue calipers never look good unless it's a blue car, but that's just my opinion.

Otherwise, everything else looks great. Keep up the good work!

I passed the hijacker test!

thanks for your opinions! I plan on going blue calipers becuase i plan on the engine bay dress up to be blue/black/aluminum (ish). I think once you can see them both together, it would look better too. Idk. After Bill and I brushed the calipers off with the wire brush drill bit, im REALLY liking the natural silver to them. Do you have any advice or tips about colormatching calipers? I'll go search for an answer after this weekend. Im about to be away from my PC for awhile.

Oh, and the exhaust. Its just slighty bigger piping with a muffler really. Nothing special, but it does have a rather deep sound to it. Thats all i really cared about back then. But im switching to name brand, soon.

05eclipse05 · 06/13/2009, 04:02 PM

OK ladys n gents. I plan on painted the calipers tomorrow! Now i can choice between aluminum or blue. What do yall think? I love how they look when they're cleaned. All shiney and such

. But that all goes to hell when its dirty. But i do like blue as well. Since the engine bay theme will be along those lines, i figured they would match.

Opinions?

02TitaniumGT · 06/13/2009, 05:04 PM

I'd go with the silver since blue wouldn't seem to match the body but with the blue accents in the engine bay

Jordan777er · 06/13/2009, 05:12 PM

I'd go with the Aluminum. If you do use blue though, make sure its a really dark blue. Mine used to be blue and it looked kind of off to me, so I switched to red.

Gvieweclipse · 06/13/2009, 05:13 PM

nice and clean, keep it up.

05eclipse05 · 06/14/2009, 02:17 PM

So... I decided on aluminum! They got done about a half hour ago. I gotta let them set/cure for a while, then i will post my crappy cell phone pics when im home. Thanks to the few that had opinions.

02TitaniumGT · 06/14/2009, 04:55 PM

I saw ya drivin to work Friday morning on 407 lol. I was up ahead of ya in my mom's van coming back from getting it washed. Love how your car looks from the front that carbon fiber hood is awesome

(don't think I've said that enough yet lol)

05eclipse05 · 06/15/2009, 08:01 AM

Ok, so heres the calipers! They look exactly the same as they did when they were just cleaned with a wire brush bit and drill

. O well, its more noticable now and hopefuly will stay cleaner, longer. And yes, we did it the lazy way. I didnt feel like bleeding the brakes, and since i will be upgrading brakes within the next few months, these will prolly be changed out.

Heres pics:

The goods yo

jackstands... again

I let them cure for like... 7 hours. Heres bills blue calipers.

Mine are now done

scarr · 06/15/2009, 08:23 AM

those look great for doing it the lazy way. are there any imperfections caused by "the lazy way" that do not show up in the pics?

05eclipse05 · 06/15/2009, 08:25 AM

Thank-ya

Nope.. not at all, unless you count a little bit of overspray on the rotors as an imperfection. But that will rub off in a matter of time.

WolfRyder · 06/15/2009, 09:22 AM

Looks good, so you're getting rid of it as a DD soon?

bootsman · 06/15/2009, 09:33 AM

Looks good! love the mods so far, keep it clean!

Special_K · 06/15/2009, 09:36 AM

Looks good. Thank god you didnt paint the brake pads also.

02TitaniumGT · 06/15/2009, 11:58 AM

Lookin' good man, I'll see 'em tomorrow

3G-XXX · 06/15/2009, 12:26 PM

The Aluminum color turned out great! I did mine the "lazy way" also... as long as you coat them good, nobody will ever know the difference!

CrimsonGT · 06/15/2009, 03:23 PM

Those came out great! Good choice on the color.

drunkoffjuic · 06/15/2009, 03:26 PM

It looks like he did in a few of he pics, but he might have changed the pads while he was there.

Na we removed the pads from the brakes before paint and reinstalled afterwards. His rear pads were shameful so we did replace them. All in all I am very please they came out looking really good.

Way to go Chad.

I like the subwoofer box with the Mitsu. logo cutout, nice and original. I think both the Invidia and Evo II sound awesome on the 4 cylinder. Can't wait to see it once you get the SS lipkit on it and have it painted 2 tone __________________ -Phil- ----------------------------------------------------- 2002 Mitsubishi Eclipse GT 5spd "Some things in life, people will never understand."

You know what? Here's an offer.....maybe sometime before this summer ends, we should schedule a meet half-way between Lubbock and Denton over in Abilene (my hometown) and we can go on a photoshoot! I'll have a garage then and we can put both Eclipses in and detail them before the 'shoot, plus it's a place we can just hangout too. Tempting? lol __________________ Last edited by CrimsonGT; 06/03/2009 at 03:43 PM.

It was really ugly but have all black leather interior which helped it out a lot. __________________ 2002 Stratus R/T - 2000 Eclipse GT 3.5

I can't see your pics, so I was trying to use my imagination. But, what a coincidence. It looks nice man, though there werent any pics with the hood. __________________ This ish right here...!

I think im the only remix out there that is proud of what he drives to a degree . I was part of the autolog and car domain back in my highschool ricer-rific days. I used to have teh neons and window stickers FTL. __________________ If life is a highway, mine is missing some signs.

Honestly - I think the car looks good, you've done a good job and I don't see anything ricey. I'm not a fan of the exhaust that much - not sure what it is, but it doesn't look like a very good one. On your list, your next mod you're planning to do is caliper painting. I think that's a great idea, it was the first thing I noticed in the photos. I know you mentioned painting them blue, and that's obviously to go along with the "neon theme" you have - but I think a dark red or paintmatched would look much better. Blue calipers never look good unless it's a blue car, but that's just my opinion. Otherwise, everything else looks great. Keep up the good work! __________________

05eclipse05 Life Loved, Is Lived Join Date: Jan 2007 Location: Grand Prairie, Tx Vehicle: 05 Eclipse Remix Edition Posts: 5,612	OK ladys n gents. I plan on painted the calipers tomorrow! Now i can choice between aluminum or blue. What do yall think? I love how they look when they're cleaned. All shiney and such . But that all goes to hell when its dirty. But i do like blue as well. Since the engine bay theme will be along those lines, i figured they would match. Opinions? __________________ If life is a highway, mine is missing some signs.

If you do use blue though, make sure its a really dark blue. Mine used to be blue and it looked kind of off to me, so I switched to red. __________________ Jordan777er's 2002 Titanium Pearl RS "C'est la poêle qui se moque du chaudron"

I gotta let them set/cure for a while, then i will post my crappy cell phone pics when im home. Thanks to the few that had opinions. __________________ If life is a highway, mine is missing some signs.

05eclipse05 Life Loved, Is Lived Join Date: Jan 2007 Location: Grand Prairie, Tx Vehicle: 05 Eclipse Remix Edition Posts: 5,612	Ok, so heres the calipers! They look exactly the same as they did when they were just cleaned with a wire brush bit and drill . O well, its more noticable now and hopefuly will stay cleaner, longer. And yes, we did it the lazy way. I didnt feel like bleeding the brakes, and since i will be upgrading brakes within the next few months, these will prolly be changed out. Heres pics: The goods yo jackstands... again I let them cure for like... 7 hours. Heres bills blue calipers. Mine are now done __________________ If life is a highway, mine is missing some signs.
