  • A quick review of the eclipse using HRE 597R wheels. I'm the original owner of this beautiful Eclipse since 1999 and over the years (decades) it's had it's share of various brands of wheels from: Niche Pultec, Racing Harts, STR 607, and even HRE wheels. It's one way of not getting bored with my Eclipse.
    The HRE wheels in video are as follows:
    Passenger side: 20x11 rear w/285/30/20 & 20x8.5 front w/225/30/20.
    Driver's side: STR 607: rear 20x10.5 w/255/30/20 & 225/35/19 front.
    I'm going to change the tire sizes during the winter to 255/30/20 front.

      Just think. Mitsubishi could bring the second generation Eclipse back and they would be on top of their game using a AWD and engine/trans upgrades and even the exterior could be 100x better looking than mine. For it can't be that hard for designers at Mitsubishi. This was my first design but now I'm designing the second Eclipse. Also I'm modernizing the rear too.

  • @madcurls9655
    @madcurls9655  Před 6 lety +16

    Not the easiest modification, but well worth it (IMHO) if you should decide to modernize the front fascia. The TLX headlights are easily found on Ebay and the prices vary from $400-650 and you'll need the 2015-17 TXL pig-tails (wire harness). The car in the video is a custom wide body (front & rear) and the front is widened by 2" thus without the car being widened I doubt likely that the Acura TXL headlights will fit due in part because of the length of the headlights, so "measure twice, cut once."

    Very good looking design! Was it made in fibre glass? (bumper, and Wide body)

    • @madcurls9655
      @madcurls9655  Před 6 lety +1

      Yes. The front was glassed but the wide body (hips) front and rear was created using metal strips welded and then fiberglass over. Other videos briefly demonstrate the process. I've since moved onto another Wide body Eclipse project using the same materials but second build the hips are wider by 2" and the rear bumper now has increased detail. Enjoy.

    Holy Grail! How did it cost you overall for the customs?

    • @madcurls9655
      @madcurls9655  Před 5 lety

      I kinda went over board on this project for all that you see wasn't necessary. The headlights are costly (unless you find them at a salvage yard) but expect to pay $1,350 for just the lights (TXL, Porsche, & G8 all together). The build was done maybe two years or so ago so the headlights no doubt have gone down in price. The front and rear are widened so add $$$$. I'm not 100% sure you can add the TLX w/o the front fenders being widened but if not then you'll need at least $800 for front fascia modifications and don't forget the TXL wire harness which are about $150 (dealership is about $800). I hope this info helps.

      What's the old saying, "the devil is in the details." TLX headlights, Porsche DLR, and G8 side makers lights found on Ebay can cost you at least $1200 or so, but much less if found at a salvage yard. So if you can find the lights for $200-300 you'll save a ton of money. I bought my lights less than a year old so it's was costly back then. Body work on front fascia was at least $750. Granted, my car is a wide body (front & rear) plus lots of other unseen tweaks so it's a money pit but in many ways it's better than buying a new car. i hope this bit of info helps.

Porsche DLRs about $120 per side. Pontiac G8 side marker lights around $160 for the smoked set. Grillmate was around $120 or so (they don't sell them anymore).
