eclipse project

that purple eclipse from the 2fast 2furious set didn't appeal to me at all so i decided to lower it so it doesn't look like it has a lift kit and also to paint it.
here is a pic of it lowered and before painting

Nice work sklownn. Are you going to try to put an interior in it? There is nothing like the satisfaction of your own paint work,all it takes is practice. Trust me, my forst couple looked like crap too.

thanx bc. im not sure if the interior will fit in the car cuz the pcb cover is up very high. i wish i had painting skillz but i am way to impatient and the last car i did.....u couldn't even see the body lines or the outlines of the doors. i will do the usual to this eclipse though. i will ofcourse add a nice and "ricey" exhaust, and possibly a body kit.

You could just remove the cover and maybe that will give you enough room, that is usually what I do.

Or you could just paint the pcb cover black and add some seats to it.

Lookin good skklown. Yeah , remove the cover, I lowered one of those too. I have a little slice of a pcb cover holding down the front of the pcb, the interior holds down the rest.
