.......The color scheme is unique to me. It's not something that I would do but if your happy with it then that's all that matters. It would need a pissed-off 4G63 to be a really sweet car. To me the stock body on a 2g is good enough, maybe a front lip or something

So slick and so clean... Seeing it in person the other day made it all the better than in the pictures... I'm usually not all THAT showy but the way you have it set up K9 its not OVERKILL and that makes it really nice

420a is a very strong motor that can make great power if done correctly.

I know there are die-hard 420a guys and I didn't mean to offend. But in comparisson to the 4G yeah it still sucks balls.

I will say that if I could start all over, I'd have gone with a 4g for sure, but being that this 420a was my first car, I wanted by all means to make the best of it cause of the good price I got it for. I must say turbo'ing it was awesome, totally a rewarding/fun experience to take part in and till this day love every part about it. From the 3 inch exhaust to the Greddy Type S I love every bit about being boosted.. Finding a 4G someday when budgets are right is definately in my agenda :cool:

Swapping in a 4G would cost more money than its worth IMO. But yea the 4G motor is 100000x better than the 420a, but they are both strong motors with good aftermarket support.

Looks flashy for a DSM but the work looks clean.

Only thing I would do is paint the hood. The difference in the raw carbon and the black next to it doesn't go.

K9_Eclipse and I were talking last night about that last night, how CF and Black just never really looks right together,, it somewhat looks mismatched almost. Granted the CF products are SLAMMIN but on the black paint, eh, sometimes its right, sometimes its not..

Well first thanks for the input to all you shared,.. its still a work in progress... ive thought about gettin a new hood,.. got a few spider cracks in my CF (this eclipse is my daily driver), when i change the front end ill get a new hood to complement the new look but first all i really wanna do to it is Turbo the 420a,.. a true definition of tuning in my opnion,.. turbo a non-aspirated engine, then move onto another ride,.. no idea as of yet what id like my next money-sink will be though,..

When you do turbo it let me know. I'm sure low n slow and myself could help you.

Haha totally, I just helped Aaron (K9_Eclipse) find his turbo... it was a nice find too :mrgreen: Its gonna work out great once all is put together, and it shouldnt be a problem considering all the niffs and hard-ends that Jayfine and I ran into wont happen for a 2nd time due to we no what to expect :cool:
