I'll consider them in a few weeks if they're still there, I'm saving hard for this house. I settle in April, I need $5k, so all purchases have to be thought about long and hard before I do anything rash.

To be honest, didn't have her long after I dropped her.

Here's the current one (sorry, crappy cell pic. Can't upload from my camera.):

Got her back in November, since then I've put in 4cyl Eibach Sportline springs (with stock shocks/struts for now), radio & bass, 8000k HID headlights, 3000k HID fog lights, LED license plate light, and a Magnaflow muffler.

I know your using 4cyl. springs on a v6 but your drops look like c/o's drops, are you sure your struts/shocks aren't blown or do you have a taller than factory tire?
If not then that looks pretty good for lowering springs ;)

**Bloody Arro** · 01-13-2013, 12:50 AM

The shocks are actually good. The springs are rated for a 2/2 drop for a 4cyl eclipse. IIRC, I read somewhere that our cars are a decent bit heavier than the eclipse so it drops it a bit more, also the bigger v6 drops the front a bit more too.

And thanks for the compliment :D. Next big thing I'm shooting for is either the outlander brake swap or wheels.

Looking so much better! May I suggest black plasti-dip the fins on your upper grill? Or go hard and cut em out and throw mesh in there! LOL! Doesn't cost much of anything to do either.

Finally washed Ivory:

So I thought my tranny was comepletely broke, and it may not be so. Need to go to a tranny shop and find out...

**wetamup2k3g** · 01-13-2013, 10:48 AM

Looking good Will! About my grill, I have JDM heads and grill sitting waiting, but I also have this too, I may just get this painted and rock this for a minute:

I'll wait till spring before I do anything though.

**OMEGA PHX** · 01-13-2013, 11:10 AM

Nah, you should donate that to me and install the jdm goodies

I'd just paint it black & rock it!

LOL

Lol!

**Bloody Arro** · 01-13-2013, 07:11 PM

I actually like the color matched grilles lol. Maybe I'm just weird.

I would throw on the JDM parts, the tut makes it look easy and has step by step instructions. The edges are rounded off and will leave a slight gap, but I would think you would only notice it if you're looking for it really.

**Ivory8g** · 01-13-2013, 08:12 PM

Dang Will she's glowing :)

That grill is looking fresh with the mesh behind it

**RedGalant2k1** · 01-13-2013, 10:01 PM

I'd post a new picture, but the Galant looks the same as it did 6 months ago. And has the SAME amount of miles as it did 6 months ago...lol

Youre gonna be like me, and have a million miles on that car before you let it go, and by that time our cars wont be worth anything and we keep it forever!

On another note, i lowered the TL this morning. Painting Grill in a week, and hopefully wheels at the end of the month. Going full speed on the modifications which I didnt want to do with this car lol.
