this is my 1996 Mitsubishi Eclipse RS. I can't say I don't love this car, but I can say my first car is my favorite. =P I got this car ragged out from some sebring kid(if u know sebring u know exactly what I mean). picked it up for 1800 bucks. Wasn't much to look at when I got it and needed work right away. But I took care of the leaks and other engine repairs with the help of my dad. And as you can see for yourself it stands out now. I've done alot to the car and I've got alot more to go.So far I gotten my black projectors in, I got some $40 dollar fog lights and installed them, some red LED washer jets, smoked the reverse lights, and got a vinyl made for my back windshield. For the sound, I have a Legacy 4.7" touch screen 320 watt head unit.(will have a double-DIN soon) I have Boss chaos speakers for the whole system. 600watt 6x9"s for the rear, 350watt 6.5" component speakers for the doors, and 200 watt 3.5" speakers for the dash. I chose these speakers beacause of the quality and they look really good. I also have a 2000 watt amp with a 3 farad capacitor pushing a single 12" and my 6x9s. I've also done alot to the inside of the car to make it look more how i want it to. I've painted just about everything I could pull off the body lol. I did a red/black and grey color scheme. It looks very good to my eyes. Next I want to work on the upholstery. I'm going to wrap the back seat in black/red fabric. and also the visors. I'm also going to redo the headliner in black, maybe do something to that with red also. Then when I'm done with all that I'm going to pull out the nasty grey carpet, and throw down some black auto all-weather carpet. I got my new taillights in they look great. Black LED's. I installed my new header and cat, i couldnt believe how much of a difference it made in performance. I got the muffler on! Sounds and looks great!. Far as the body, I originally was going to just get a front lip. But thanks to some retarded raccoon, I am going to replace the front bumper with a Kombat bumper. Then I want to paint it a dark metallic red, like the chrysler red. I'm also going to get the wheels painted red/black, gloss so it shines. ^^ The engine is probably the last thing I'm going to do any major work to. I plan on pulling it apart and replacing the internals with high performance parts. I might turbo it, 10 lbs if I do. I want it to be all motor for the most part at least. Want it to be 10.5:1 compression. =) Other than what I've already said, i want to tint the windows black also. This car is going to be one of a kind when I am done with it. It might not blow ur doors off, but it'll definitely turn heads fast enough to break ur neck,lol.
