that's very similiar to what I want mine to look when i had my Talon bumper.... only to cut out the mid section and replace with a matal plate with hinge on the end for it to scoop more or less air... :P

but it's looking real nice.... although I still think it'll look better with a 97/8 wing, well the front is aggressive, the rear would look a little plain... you need at least a rear bumper...

but I think it's a real nice pain job you've got... although you need better pix. :P

Got any close up pictures to see how close the colour match is on your paint job?  Looks pretty good but can't really tell from that far away.  If you got it right, congratulations.  Red is a whore to match.

Kevin-   I am planning on getting the 97+spoiler, but I do not want the rear bumper cover, because of the "mouldings" on the corners, I think thy look hideous, plus I would have to get door moldings...

Jovan- I just mixed up the formula according the paint code & sprayed...It actually it matched up pretty good, however I do plan on re-spraying atleast the front end (its got hood chips)...


The car was really dirty, but a couple boys wanted to snap some pix, so I thought what the hell...


Thanx for the comments guys

I think they come with roller rockers from the factory.  Changing cams in these cars, you can see a roller tip on one end.

Or do you have something else?  Spill it  :)

the front 97-98 bumper has those mouldings in it too though, you seem to have removed those, could you not do the same to a rear bumper? I agree it would look dumb to have them only in 1 spot, but when you have that big aggressive line all the way up the car I think it's awesome, like if you put a talon and an eclipse together the eclipse would get scared the talon was going to eat it... plus those door moulding are great for absorbing door dings, a lot easier to just repaint that mouling and stick it back on. Looks pretty good though, get an eclipse NT spoiler, they're the best OEM dsm spoiler out there in my opinion.. also have you done anything to the rear tales?

edit: on closer inspection I see that those little ridges are still in your front bumper, they are less defined on the front bumper than the rest of the car, was kinda hard to see, looked like you had flattened them.
