Not my style but keep at it. Hopefully you will build yourself a respectable vehicle in the future.

 

I realize that alot of people like the blacked out look.

 

Personally, I am not a fan of the wheels, the nos floor mats, and the chrome tails ( as you mentioned lol ).

I didn't see whether it was a GS or a GT(S), but I will say if its a GS/RS it will be easier to boost in the future and if it is not a GS/RS then you might want to invest in a different vehicle. Because, the V6 is going to be quite the money pit to properly boost.

I would like to see it after the drop and of course lower resolution pictures.

 

I ditched the floor-mats. I only use them when its snowy or when it rains alot. The pics don't really do the wheels justice. But will show off a big brake kit well.

 

I've just never been a big fan of the Hotswaps. I agree they will accent a big brake kit well.

 

It looks decent from the outside. I don't like the wheels but they will complment a big brake kit well as previously said. I would lower it as my next modification.

 

I've seen much worse, 6 /10. I happen to like the wheels, but drop the chassis for sure.

 

At first when I heard about the hotswaps I made fun of the idea. But I like the 5 spoke design, and being able to change out different spoke covers is pretty nice. and GREAT if you accidently rub a curb with one .

Also when taking all covers off your left with an all metal look which is really quite nice.

 

I was going to post that your car is fugly but decided not to.

Toss out those fucking stupid floor mats.

Lowering a 3g should be the very first thing any 3g owner should do. The wheel gap is a joke and should embarrass you.

 

I like how original your screen name is.... :fawk:

I'll let it slide, just because i known you most my life. :lol: Glad you finally decided to become a little more active on the forums Andrew. Keep it up and you'll learn a lot about our platform.

Time for my criticism you love to hear.
Things I'm not fond of: The street glow sticker, the blue interior (doesn't really match anything), the overall chrome look.
The future mod list is great though! Even though i do not like the hotswaps - the BBK and a respectable drop will really help them out tons. As far as what exhaust to get, fo with the greddy Evo2 or TIC, Indivia, or magnaflow. ALl of those are respected name brands that sounds great on our 4G64. Oh, and your headlights aren't really "projection". The high beam is, but not the low beams. I would get some sonars or depos with an HID kit.

All in all Andrew, the future plans are promising, just keep working on it. Not sure if i will ever like all the chrome though. PM me if you have any questions.

 

The wheels aren't bad. I've seen them in person on Solar's car. Not my favorite though. Overall not too bad of a start. I'd try picking a good color scheme and just stick with it. The blue interior really kills it IMO. It just goes with nothing on your car.

A drop and a big brake kit will help out your looks exterior-wise. When it comes to your interior, I'm glad to hear those ricer floor mats are out. I don't know what to say about the painted dash...

Also one major pet peeve of mine is the way you took your pictures. Not only is there lack of creativity (sitting in the driveway). But the angles are frustrating. The point I'm getting at is, It'd be nice to at least be able to see the full car in a few shots. :rant2:
Keep us posted!

 

Those are bad pics, I have some good ones... those were taken right as soon as i got the new wheels, and the same day my camera broke. Ironic. I have some older pics, but didn't want to post outdated pics. Maybe now I will.
Thank you for some positive criticism.:happysad:

 

sorry i think it looks like crap from bumper to bumper, if it was all stock it'd look much better

 

The car is a disaster - you fail at properly modifying a vehicle in a tasteful manner.

So - you've owned the car since you were 15.. this means what, you've had it for a couple months? :lol:

 

The car is a disaster - you fail at properly modifying a vehicle in a tasteful manner.

Chill. Tasteful is completely subjective. At least give the guy some constructive criticism regarding what you believe to lack taste. (although most issues have been discussed)

 

I agree with the last 2 posts. :noway:

 

:agreed: just follow the other members suggestions and and it will look nice

 

The interior looks nicely painted.

IMO hotswaps would be better looking if they kept the lip clean and free of the random, pointless buttons.

 

This thread is beginning to look like mine did a while back. Id ruggest dropping the car next, then exhaust. Other than that your future mods list looks nice. Just take the advise and work it into your own style and youll come out great. GL man...

 

O, so many things to address. Were to start. The floor mats are gone, I got them when I first got the car. They served there purpose of keeping mud off my good mats. The only reason my car ISN'T lowered... Is because I come from a town WITH TERRIBLE STREETS. Chad will vouch for that. And taste is in the eye of the beholder. I have ALOT of people tell me they like my interior. Its different and looks better in person. I like it and thats all that matters. HIJACKER I know you have everybody crawling up your butt... but seriously your word means nothing to me. Your work is damn good. I'll give you that. But your attitude towards others is..... Crap. And Im 19 btw. I love my car. And to the person that said "Drive that motherfucker off a cliff, make sure to lock your self in the car first." Those are fighting words buddy. Troll.


Now on to the wheel subject once again... What made me decide on these are:

And if you hate the way that car looks your all at just a total loss. Thats kinda the look I'm going for. Minus the stickers.
Thanks for the support Chad.

 

One question tho. What the hell is so great about BLACK headlight, AND black turns, I could swear your all emo-goths.

i like this guy. And that yellow car is an inspiration to me too.

 

My car before the wheels

No need to bump your members ride thread. :fawk:

 

Wanted more input:fawk:

Whole car in one pic. Still having to use cellphone.

 

bro forget them who cares what ppl say ur car looks raw and the pic u have of the yellow eclipse looks raw go for it dont listen to other ppl, there afraid to change shit in there car from the factory look

 

Oh boy is that some wheel gap... I think the spacing in the wheels just make the gap look even bigger.

 

I'll lower it when I can afford the kyb's and the teins. I've looked around on here hoping for a deal. They move fast. I'm not going to rush into lowering it with just the springs.

 

It does look much better in a full picture so +1 to that. It is in need of a drop pretty badly. So is mine though, so I can't really talk. But it will be lowered before it ever comes out of storage next year

One thing though. It just is throwing it off for me. The fake vents are painted black (it looks like in the picture anyway) This clashes with the chrome in my eyes. :dunno: I would recommend maybe some chrome mesh in there with the vents cut out. I'm not sure how they would look but I think the chrome mesh would flow better for your front end if you must have the chrome lights. Other than that, I'm liking it :yesway:

Can we get some pics of the interior as it is now? You said its done in suede right? :ninja2:

 

The front and back center console are done in dark blue suede. I'm really happy with how the back console turned out. Front... not so much. I'll add new interior pics when I get momo auto shift knob and new e-brake handle.

 

I don't like the blue on the interior.
Im sure there's something else you can do with it, to make it...match better.
