Now before you all start to hate on me, I need to clear some things up. First, I had the body kit before becoming a member, and at the time it was the only kit I could find that l really liked and that did not match anything around my location. Second, I know the car is 4x4ing right now, but thanks to "joeyoey0" in vendor sales I now have a set of Megan coilovers on the way to my house. Well, I hope you all enjoy the car. I sure do. 2004 Mitsubishi Eclipse Spyder GT Torque body kit Flowmaster catback exhaust Motegi 18" wheels Angel eye Projector Headlights Kenwood KVT-516 headunit Bone stock engine Big 3 upgrade New cluster gauges/cover On the way New windshield Megan coilovers front and rear Smoked turn signals I was thinking about painting the body kit's grill inserts black.

Not too bad. Can't wait to see it dropped.
The front bumper doesn't look that bad. I suggest you at least paint the mesh on the corners black since right now it draws too much attention. It would look a lot cleaner if the mesh wasn't gray. You should also tint the turn signals black. The rear is what really should have been left alone. It just doesn't look good. If anything, paint the mesh parts black. It will look better in my opinion. Maybe do something with those tail lights as well. Black em out? Get some TYC's or...up to you. No chrome though. Other than that, the car looks pretty clean and doesn't look extremely ricerific.

Car looks super clean and once the coil overs are on it will look even better. If that car was any other color the kit would be an overkill.

stock is great too, always great but this body kit doesnt make it ugly to me. We all have our opinions and taste Main thing its a pretty good car. The body kit isnt soo different that it changes the whole structure of the car. The back bumper is a little extreme but Nevertheless its a Clean car. |

Thanks for the thoughts and comments guys. I'll get new pictures up as soon as I install the new coilovers. My new smoked turn signals will be here this Wednesday and I'll go ahead with my first thought of painting the grills black. Question: Should I paint the front grille and reinstall it or just leave it out. I thought it looked better without one, but now I'm thinking if it was black it might work better. Thoughts

Here's a couple of new pictures of the audio install from tonights work. I decided to fiberglass me a sub box in the trunk. This is the second layer of fiberglass. I'll take more tomorrow after it sets.

WOW
That is an overall nice ride! very clean and when everyone get finished saying what they DO NOT like, it is still an Eclipse. GREAT work to it, kit and all. Chrome LOOKS GREAT. Good way to break-up the black. Most people don't like chorme on this car but I have chrome and no pictures up for people will shoot it down. In the Mid-West most cars ride on chrome. But it's what you like, your style, and your area, if you rock chrome, steel, painted rims or whatever. GREAT JOB with the car I have a Red Spyder keep up the good work. Plus I did NOT see anyone that downed your ride show trophies either...

Thanks for all the comments guys. Both the good and the bad. The exhaust is not dual all the way to the front. It just has a cross over pipe and an extra flowmaster muffler in order to balance the look. I can try to post a sound clip, but it will have to be later. I'm in the Military and they have blocked so much content. I can't even see my own pictures from this computer. No photobucket, you tube, etc. I'll have to post it from my home computer.

I can PM you something, but right now it's a mess and I am ultimately going to redo it with lots of fiberglassing.

How do you figure? I just found out the differences between a GS and RS. And ive known the difference between them and a GT, But never really a GTS and GT. What are the differences?

All V6 Spyders from 2003 and up were given the GTS engine. I believe you do have a GT. What makes them different is the interior and the wheels.

Is it the 6 disc changer that fills up the whole space or the stereo that leaves a space between the stereo and HVAC controls?
