My 2002 GT

[JaxGator]

This is a pic of it before I put on the new rims;



These are her new shoes, new rims and Eagle GT tires;





Yes I have rust colored calipers. I'll be getting them painted red soon, hope to have pics when that gets finished.

clean stocker, what are your plans?

[JaxGator]

I do want to eventually get a turbocharger put in it, I'm still waiting on that though, need to save more money first. As for the body, I'm still debating. I remember seeing tearicon's mods on here and I really liked what he did.

[S.Maxwell]

You should also look into a drop. I can say ever since Ive had my 3g its been a must, and now i can hardly wait for the rest of my parts to arrive and get it done! Looks good for a stocker tho! Don't see any sign of cancer!

[HPUNCH]

How many cracks are in your dash?

[JaxGator]

I take it you saw one of my previous posts. There are a good number of cracks, it hasn't really bothered me yet, but I would like to get it replaced later, with a higher grade material if possible.

I think the wheels are a little different, but I like em. I would seriously consider a drop first.

Just replace the whole dash. Don't try to repair it.

[JaxGator]

Yeah I was just going to replace it. I'll upload a pic soon so you guys can see it. I'll fish around the other sections for suggestions on a good replacement dash seeing as I don't really want another OEM one.

[Mattt]

What other choices do you have?

[HPUNCH]

I wanna take my entire dash out and fiberglass the whole thing!!!!

[JaxGator]

So I said I would post an update when I got around to getting the calipers painted. Here it is, nice red color to contrast with the black. Played out, I know, but it looks good if you ask me.

[Tx4Codeman]

Good to see another Florida member. You are not too far from what's left of the CFL crew.

[JaxGator]

Thanks. I'm in New Smyrna Beach right now for the summer, going back to Jax in August.

[HEATHB4R]

Look'n Good

If you don't mind me asking, what are the name of your new wheels?

[JaxGator]

They're Goodyear Eagle GT all weather tires, 17 x 7.5. The rims are ICW Racing 211MS.

A recent side shot;



And soon to be modifications, opinions welcome;

Projector headlights; PRO-YD-ME00-HL-BK Spyder Halo Projector Headlights - Black for 00-05 Mitsubishi Eclipse at Andy's Auto Sport

Taillights; ALT-YD-ME00-BK Spyder Altezza Tail Lights - Black for 00-05 Mitsubishi Eclipse at Andy's Auto Sport

Along with a 6000K HID conversion, and window tinting.

[Thrice0805]

The projectors look good, but you might be able to get a better deal somewhere else (someone else will have to confirm that). The tail lights aren't that good of a pick. Look around for some Black TYC's or at some of the LED options (but for $63 might as well just get them until you find something better). Also look into getting smoked front and rear signal lights and a third brake light. Ohh and take pics when you get it all installed!

[Red Sun]

Those Altezza's you mentioned

I had a similar pair of those a while back and I quickly grew to hate them, so I moved on to some TYCs. They do cost quite a bit, but they're worth it.

[JaxGator]

Ordered the headlights and HID kit, waiting on the taillights. I'm not a huge fan of the stock all red ones but I haven't quite found a replacement I really like.

[JaxGator]

Small update, got the HID kit today and installed them. Still waiting on the Spyder projector headlights. This is what the HID looks like, they're 6000K;

HID's in stock housing.

[Red Sun]

Damn those HIDs are blinding me even through my screen, just be patient and put it in the projectors.

[JaxGator]

Ha, not as bright irl as in pic. I was moreso interested in seeing if the color was as promised, which they are. And since it's already installed, it'll be easy to swap the projectors and have the lights ready.

[JaxGator]

Update, got the headlights in order, with the 6000K HID lights!

Front bumper is the next item on my list. Currently looking for some nice ones.




Halo by itself


It's a work in progress, but it's coming together.

[Red Sun]

Nice sonars there

[SubsgtSpyder]

Do a 2003+ swap! Also, don't even bother looking for aftermarket bumpers, they're a waste of money, and look bad too.

Yeah I was thinking about a 2003 front, I like how that looks and prefer the round fog light slots to the squares. Thanks for the suggestions!

[JaxGator]

Thought it over, 2003+ bumper is the best looking to me.

Not too picky on fog lights for it, was thinking about these; http://www.andysautosport.com/mitsub...r00024904.html

No plans for fog light HIDs yet, but I was thinking 5000K if I go that route. Opinions?
