Has anyone lowered the eclipse or added LEDs?
 
I'm planning making my eclipse really sweet....I love the eclipse in real life, so i have always wanted a riced out one.

I recently spent abut 30 minutes scraping the paint off the lights, and was wondering if anyone has added LEDs to their eclipse, and if they have pictures

also I would love to drop it as low as i can get it...has anyone performed a lowering of their eclipse? and maybe has pics and some pints of where the cuts where made?

for some reason, i got to lower my eclipse LOWER than the 2 other cars i used [the mustang and rx7]
why?...its because the eclipse has a larger front and rear bumper..

what i did was
-i took off the pcb cover first because it just gets in the way.....u gotta make a new one out of something....i used paper and tape :D'
-then i just cut the slots where the tabs go higher with an exacto [i kick ass with an exacto so...you may get diff results :D]....about 2-4 milimeters higher....
i pretty much made a big hole in the front to get rid of weight also
-NOTE u WILL have to shave some of the front and rear fender slightly higher so that you can turn without grinding your tires...you just gotta keep adjusting till it fits perfectly on all sides...
-u might need to use some sticky puddy on top of the front tab to make it more secure...

i gotta get pics of mine
:(
