New pics of my car. Yellow w/white hood
 
what do you guys think? I am starting to like the white hood. I get lots of looks, but not sure if they are WTF looks or that car is neat looks lol. Let me know.

The foglights are my parking/turn signals. Details in my sig


Edit: Can someone host some files for me?

i like that front bumber where did you get it?

Buffumguy1 06-24-06 02:18 PM

Cool front bumper. Like the yellow, don't like the white hood. Needs to be yellow, or maybe black IMHO.

kgray 06-24-06 02:29 PM

yeah where did you get the bumper? I want that hood bump too. who sells that? Mitsubishi?
It's Bolt on right? JUST KIDDING!. Looking good so far. i like the looks of the mazda badge. What wheels are you planning on puting on? I cant wait to see it all done. i think you got the whole unique thing down! Keep the updates coming!

RE-Amemiya 06-24-06 02:46 PM

Okay, now that the pictures are there...we need a serious RESIZE. I do like the front bumper though, like a few other people mentioned as well.

oh ya one more thing what rims are they?

trochoid 06-24-06 07:40 PM

Rims are one of 2 or 3 of the SA waffle patterns. I like that style better than the + wheels. When done in 2 colors, or a color and polish, they can be a sharp looking old school wheel.

Ian, the front bumper fits quite well, need to bump out the dimple of the driver's side fender of the wrap. I'm not a fond of the white accents, seen too many riced cars that do that to the interior, black would look better. The wheels needs refurbished to match the quality of finish of the rest of the car., but you know that already. I can take care of that if you wish.

To answer your MSN message this morning, yes I do. I'm a night owl so you won't get a response before 2p on MSN.

The flying Mazda logo on the front works for me.

RustyRotary 06-24-06 07:56 PM

I like the bumper. Could use some side skirts and rear bumper to match. Speaking of matching, the wheels aren't working with that yellow lol. With the modern look of the bumper, I'd suggest a more modern set of wheels.

As for the color, I do like the yellow, but the white comes off as looking unfinished. Nice Mazda emblem :icon_tup:

IanS 06-24-06 09:54 PM

Wheels will be the rotor wheels powdercoated white and a white center cap with mazda and the ring in yellow. I have sideskirts, and the plan is they may be white as long as I do the bottom section of the front bumper also.

As far as the 1st gen eclipse bumper being bolt on. Yes pretty much. The width is really close and I cant really do anything with the weird spot on the side. I had to trim the back of the bumper to get rid of the molded bracing and change to a custom front bumper.

I took the hood with the bump off for the time being as it cracked out and I need to fix it. I didnt have enough yellow paint to paint this hood yellow so I spray painted this extra one white and was wondering the general consensus.

Thanks for the replies, any other ideas/comments let me hear them.

Paradox 06-24-06 10:42 PM

bumper is cool, but i cant say i like the colors much.

chutzpah 06-27-06 06:08 PM

How about a darker shade of yellow on the hood and roof...the roof included for uniformity and a sleeker appearance.

KcKhan 06-27-06 07:30 PM

So thats an eclipse bumper?? i really like how that looks, would look real nice with some side skirts and a rear wrap around

Bright yellow with a darker yellow on top? Wouldnt that clash?

You know what would look better? Paint the car white, then have the hood made out of yellow carbon fiber.

At least it'd be different.

rxtasy3 06-27-06 11:34 PM

is it just me or is the hood bent slightly right above the pass side light cover? it also looks like it could use a little ligning up across the front. the gap across the light covers differ quite abit from one side to the other.

ComptonsFinest81 06-28-06 03:13 AM

Too sexy you got any extra parts u couldn't use im tryin to make mine look better its way too stock

Yes there are dents all over an I know the hood isnt set right. Rhis is one of my extra ones to just throw on there and see if I like the color and to possibly fix the other hood with the bump on it. If I end up wanting the hood to be white I will paint my other one with actual car paint not spray paint. I am also going to the track on friday so i wanted to cut down some weight. I also took my stereo out for more lightening.

project 88 gxl 06-28-06 10:26 AM

i haven't seen a yellow on white color scheme that looked good YET. the rest of the car is pretty sweet though. lose the white and you'll be fine. my opinion of course. lol

novaboy009 06-28-06 10:35 AM

White and yellow is too ricey for my taste. I think black would be alright on the hood, but yellow would be best.

IanS 06-28-06 10:39 AM

If you look under my name, you will see why my car is ricey lol.
