I took out the foglights for three reasons:
1. Better airflow to radiator/intercooler
2. They would need to be removed during future FMIC mods anyway
3. The bolts were stripped or missing and needed to be removed/replaced

Pulled out the healdights and fixed the foggy driver's light, cleared the turn signals, and painted the housing to look like 97-99 lights. Gives the car so much more attitude, I think.

CONVERTIBLE WEATHER RULES!

I installed a 3" SS RnR Racing Catback. It sounds AMAZING! Not a ricey tone at all, very low grumble to a roar at hard accel. TurboSpyder19's 1996 Mitsubishi Eclipse

I have recently cut the Blow-off Valve dump tube...BOV sound is MUCH louder now :-) I also took the ECLIPSE off of the taillights and attempted to light the center section. Didn't go too well, oops. IC pipes and downpipe soon! Clutch is slipping, that needs to be fixed...

A cool pic my friend took:

I took off the ECLIPSE on the taillights and replaced it with matching red vinyl. Looks hot!

Thanks for the comments. You have a nice car, you don't need to trade it for anything. Keep what you like and know. We actually traded in a 90 Eclipse GSX Turbo on our VR4 back in 92. We really liked it but the 3000GT's were not being sold when we got the Eclipse in 90. Later.
