Before and After Pics of my '99 RS

I bought an '99 RS a few months back and I was very happy with how well the car was kept. The body was very clean and the interior was immaculate, I have some pics of how it was before and how it is now up to date. The pictures were take today by my ****ty ass phone-camera. I have done a few things here and there to resemble more of the GS package because I love the official stock look of the Eclipse. I have installed some things and painted somethings on the car to push it forward to more of a GS/GS-T look. Take at look and tell me what you guys think. I also recently aquired some 2gb side skirts so HOPEFULLY they should be coming in soon. I had the 3-piece spoiler on there when I bought it, but I can't stand it so I bought,painted,and installed the 2gb high-rise spoiler which I love very much. I have to get those damn holes welded though. I am also on the look out for that RMDSM front lip, I love that thing, it's so hott.

Fresh off the lot/Before.


Minor Modification.


After.








That's my latest and like I said the skirts hopefully will be very soon and I will post an update after anymore body modifications. I also will have my fiance's stepfather custom make a grill for me that looks like an intercooler. He did on his and it looks sick plus I need something to protect my radiator and I don't like that cheap ass looking mesh. Im doing this all for the stock solid look, this is NOT FOR SPEED this is my daily driver and I want it to be pretty.

Oh and atleast my car is 5spd so im not a complete noob!

The painted rs wheels look terrible to me

A grill that looks like an intercooler... that doesnt sound good

But as long as you're enjoying it that is cool

Thanks for the opinions fellas.

The RS wheels I don't like my self but for right thats what a can afford and that is just to paint them. Im on a budget thats why I am doing things a step at a time. The Intercooler may or may not look great but it was simply just for protection and I dont like the standard mesh look.

The mirrors will be done either tommorow or before the end of the week, Im looking forward to that. I want the GS-T rims but I couldn't find anything from the junkyards that I have been to so im going to have to buy them online somewhere.

But overall how does it look fellas, cleanliness wise???
