This is my darling, my baby dearest...my car.

First couple mods...
And now...
That's me...I'm short.
Now read this.
I've done the following mods to my car:
-Injen RD CAI
-Tsudo Fireball 2.25" Custom Exhaust (Similar to a Greddy Fireball)
-Bosche Platinum/Iridium Fusion Spark Plugs

My friend drives a silver one. i car pool with him in it every morning and i think its a comfy lil car. causes him problems non-stop too. i think your car looked better with the stock front end. the new one is too curvy for your edged out car. just my opinion.

There's no room in the stock bumper for a intercooler. We are working on this car to turbocharge and paint it. Those are the two current projects.

Well in the mean time, you could sand and prime it or just spray it flat black or something. I know it dosent sound like somethin worth doing but if your tight on money it cant get any worse than it already is. Other than that, you should maintain boost in an auto when it shifts, better than a manual.

get that bish painted.
theres ALWAYS room for an intercooler, you just need to finese it in there. i've seen plenty of boosted 3G eclipses, one with the same bumper.
my brother was looking at a 3G clipse and it had the same clear coat peel, so he ended up going with a 99 spyder. that thing went to shit in like 8 months. the convert. top leaked like mad and the transmission went to crap.

Here's a few more pics of some of the upcoming mods, and some of the newer mods.
Turbo Closet
TD05HR- Evo VIII Big 16G turbo (9.8 Hotside)
Sonar Projectors w/ "Glowing Ring" Halos on Low Beams
10000K HID low beams in Sonar Projectors
The turbo project is currently on hold (click the link in my signature). I'm going on leave for 2 weeks, and hopefully will be able to prime the paintjob in that time.

cool car man, hope the painting goes well. you should just sand the hood down and spray it flat black it would be better then what you have now.
