THIS IS A 1998 MITSUBISHI ECLIPSE RS!

A little background on this car with me...

I "used to" own this car... it needed SOOOOO MUCH work... and i had plans to make it into my dream car... but like some of you know, dreams sometimes dont come true with your plans for cars. lol. Had it for only about 9 months, *sold this past May '08. I bought it from a kid who went to the same school as me. Before I actually knew about cars (a trip back in time, lol) I saw this Eclipse in the parking lot of my school and I said "I want that car..." a few months later I did! lol, pretty ironic huh? Anyway, This eclipse was what made me into cars and learn alot about them *From fixing it so much*. Anyway, I honestly dont remember much about the upgrades names it had besides it had exhaust, intake, bodykit, etc. that it had, I barely knew about cars then... I hope you enjoy this as much as I did before I sold her!!! 

Let me know what you think! Thanks!

Then I decided I was seeing TOO MUCH orange and for my first time switch it up on my own *took me waaaaaay too long* but these were the results - White Panels...

18'' Rims - Kinda scratched, used minor touch up paint to get most the scratches "un-noticable" but barely worked. And replaced over $500.00 in new tires.. why? To make a long story short... some GENIOUS CLIPPED the stock coils to make it look lower... but in fact ruined it. I later installed new springs whom a few buddies paid for me. Thanks guys!
