Today, or yesterday rather was a day for the GS-T... Oil/filter change, o2 extender/adapter install, and rid the car of those ricer Japanese writing decals!

Also got a driver's side headlight, have the toenail spoiler, and very nice fog lights... But, IDK how I am going to keep fog lights on the car when I get an intercooler...(later on)..

Thanks for looking!
God bless.

You should have just stolen that other Eclipse next to your own.

I keep getting stumped on the fact that you say it isn't your choice when actually, it really is all up to you. You can choose to save up more money to properly paint it, you can choose to not have even messed with that body stuff, and fix whats currently wrong and be enjoying your car...

Actaully it ISN'T my choice. I want to paint it the rare 2ga Talon metallic blue color but MY DAD, the owner of the shop you see in the pictures doesn't want to do that... The problem is, it's not his car... He keeps taking over everything... We go to take the bumpers off my car, and he does everything.. Did I ask him to do that? No. So yeah, he does what he want's no matter what I want or not...

In other words, if he doesn't feel like doing it, it means I can't do it. So yeah.

Oh, and I was told you have to pull the engine to paint the engine bay which would be ok to me, but my dad wouldn't have that.

Also, it has hail damage on the old hood, the roof, dents all over the side, a quarter size dent that went all the way down to the paint, some back yard body shop repairs that we need to fix.

So I did have to start the body stuff.

I think he's secretly saving for that new and cool/fast blitz kit.

Kit as in body kit? No! NO! I hate body kits.

I would put a 2gb front bumper on, maybe back too, but that's the closest to changing out factory I will get.

That is my Eclipse. :/ '99 GS-T with stock chrome 5-spokes and rare tan/stone wash (I think it is) interior.

Again, I see no where in that post that says you have to listen to your Dad 24/7. I know he means well, but YOU have to remember it's YOUR car, not his. I've had to go through this where I was in the middle of my engine swap and I had to leave the garage I was working on it at. So I took it to my parents and that caused nothing but problems because every time I'd come over it was to work on the DSM, not to help them, etc...

I don't mean to sound like a dick, bottom line is you gotta do what you gotta do. If you wanted to paint the car a certain color and do it properly, you should've saved up more before tearing into the body work.

I too am confused...is it your's or your dad's? OR does your dad own it and you're just saying that it's yours? Like 123abc says, you gotta do what you gotta do when it's your car. if it aint your car, and it's your dad's...then...that's a whole 'nother story.

Legally they are both my dad's cars but he bought them both because I am into DSMs. The red one he got because it was so cheap for the condision it was in, and the Talon was just plain cheap lol.

He considers them my cars, but I consider the GS-T more his because I'm not ALL looks to the point where I would choose a FWD over an AWD just because the FWD is red. Confusing concept I would much rather not get into.
