Lots of random work. Too lazy to list haha. Thought I'd just show some pics. Finally got my Jdm Linea wheels in.

[Hints_The_Name]

Well you have everything i want to purchase check out my thread MODS!!! MODS!!! MODS!! when you get a chance.

Well about your car I doont feel the chrome one bit its pure ugly but if thats yhe way you roll then awesome you need something in the exhaust department AND DO YOU haVE any ENGINE PICS

But it looks nice and love the interoir

[marcus4230]

my exhaust is a magnaflow catback. engine i have fujita cai and have ingalls torque dampener coming on. gonna focus on suspensions and more engine next. and wheel wise i'd rather have clean jdm wheels to ride around on than run on track wheels all the time. i'll worry about some track wheels later on when i get more engine upgrades, for now i just borrow my friends set if i need to

[Hints_The_Name]

Wheel i no some nice looking rims if your instrested in something clean but still show offy

[NotUrAvg4G]

Hey marcus if you dont mind me asking how much did it cost to get ur deck and exhaust installed

[marcus4230]

jdm = japanese domestic market. imported rims not available here and rare to find. better quality normally than u.s. made 1 piece wheels. oh it cost me like 80 to get exhaust in. deck was a bitch to get installed. had to get amp to bypass factory amp for sub, then replaced all the component speakers. ended up costing well over 1k to get the headunit up and running.

[Hints_The_Name]

I am thinking about getting some new rims and tires are they hard to installl by ur self if you got them put on perfessionaly how much did that cost

[marcus4230]

if you order a package prebalanced you can put it on yourself. otherwise you're best off going to a smaller wheel/tire shop than a chain place. chain places will try to charge you like 120 for dismount/balance compared to a small shop charging maybe 50 bucks.

[Hints_The_Name]

yea ill get the tire and wheel packaged tires already mounted

[Hints_The_Name]

only one moe i pormiss how much for the eyelids headlights and taillights install only

[XxkevinchuxX]

eyelids are like 75 unpainted at ACI...and the the headlights will run about 300 and the tails 200...something like that. check on ACI or even ebay, the insall you should be able to do yourself

[XxkevinchuxX]

haha jdm on an eclipse....heh

[Hints_The_Name]

okay thanks cuz i already have orderedthem expect eyelids i am trying to find some sunset [earl ones

[XxkevinchuxX]

go to alex....eclipse4eva is his sn on the .com...might be the same here

he's the one that makes them and even makes them for ACI he will probably give you a better deal with pain then if you did it outside...

sorry to jack your thread marcus, lets get back on topic haha

[marcus4230]

haha yea kevin i still have the whole jdm preference on parts after working on hondas. guess some things with me will never change

[Fish]

I get my parts overnighted straight from japan. JDM FTWZ

[marcus4230]

haha nice, i have a friend stationed in japan in the navy that helps me out with misc stuff.

[XxkevinchuxX]

you mind telling me what kinda head unit that is, and where you got all the mounting stuff

Looks good.

[Even_Odds]

Hey kevin i think not for sure but it looks like the pioneer D3 at crutch field you can get it for 800 and they have a harness at crutchfield also its 25

[marcus4230]

it's a kenwood dnx5120. i got all the mounting stuff from cartoys.

thats what i meant by "jdm?"

are those the rims that come on the jdm 4g eclipse?

[Even_Odds]

sorry i was wrong it looks the exact same but there a bitch to install you have to bypass some shit

[XxkevinchuxX]

hmmm i looked at it...alot of stuff, anything cheaper out there thats similar maybe pop out? dont wanna spend more than 400

[marcus4230]

the term jdm is towards the market, not towards the counterpart of the car in japan. if you bought mugen or spoon wheels which were labeled and authentic, they would be considered jdm, yet the car of course doesn't come stock with those. linea sport wheels fortunately are more universal wheel wise compared to other brands which would primarily be on hondas/nissans. oh yeah and the headunit was a bitch to install haha. bypassing sucked and was costly.

[marcus4230]

you could probably find a dual headunit around 400-500 indash. maybe cheaper for flip out. if you have sound package though with rf system you'd have to bypass the factory amp which starts to up the cost.

[j-rod]

looks good keep it up

dammit!

[marcus4230]

Update on progress of car for everyone. Took advice and am getting rid of the chromes. Too heavy for me plus I found better.

Have stuff coming in to start a second phase of upgrades on the car:

Full Ralliart Style kit from AutoCity with front carbon addons
Rear Spoiler Delete
Tanabe Front Strut Bar
Ingalls Torque Dampener
17'' Volk AV 2 Piece wheels + tires

I'll keep you guys posted on the work, hopefully in about 2 weeks it'll be done. Hopefully I can get the chromes and tires sold and use the cash to get a set of RRE headers.

[marcus4230]

oh yeah and thanks a ton to Joe at Autocity for the help.

[XxkevinchuxX]

the only thing i didnt like about those rims is that they were a bit too small...

[marcus4230]

yeah, they're decent sized in person, but i'm leaning towards more performance minded i guess, so the volks will be nice and light. would suck to have a fast looking car with stuff slowing it down

[marcus4230]

big change from old car. still have to do aem fic and wideband etc. this weekend. thought i'd give a preview for people around houston who see me rollin around.

[pdiddy1995]
