You're looking my homegrown 300whp+ GSX daily driver show car. I take better care of this car than myself! I've decided to keep the car absolutely sticker, alteeza, neon-light and vinyl-free for that extra clean look.

This DSM was built from the ground up while I worked minimum wage to pay the bills. It may not be the craziest Eclipse but I sure took "getting the best bang for the buck" to a whole new level... I'm proud that I didn't have to traditionally break the bank. Enjoy the pictures, remember to check out our Cardomain club "Underground Tuner" the #1 club here, thanks again for visiting.

Here's the story on the Underground Tuner project show car.
