I think you better re-think that dollar amount for the car. Even a good running AWD Eclipse/Talon 1g hardly fetches more than $3000. An RS would go for even less. We bought Terina's 92 Talon AWD for $3300 and it only had 92,000 miles on it. The car is immaculate (barring some minor mechanical problems, small oil leak) inside and out. I would guess with the amount of miles you have on it you won't get more than $2000, if even that. Especially if you put alot of bling on it. Contrary to popular belief, most of that stuff (wings, exhaust, rims, etc.) actually devalues a vehicle of that age.
If you are serious about show, keep your 1g as stock as possible, clean it up REAL good and sell it for what you can. Then go and buy a decent 2g and play with that. The reason being, there is alot more available for 2g's than there is for a 1g. The cost is considerably less to do it that way because the market is so flooded with dress-up things for 2g's. Otherwise you have to do everything custom and that is very costly.
I do applaud you for wanting it to be unique, but please do it tastefully.
