Anyways, I'm in to photography, but I'm not a pro or anything... so there will be lots of pics in this thread.

I'm very familiar with how the forums work, I'm a moderator on club4g.org a forum for the newest generation Eclipse.

Big into the stance scene, but I probably wont slam the **** of this build. FOR NOW, plans are something along the lines of Amuse kit, a mix of FI / Invida exhaust parts and some Top Secret parts here and there.


Now pics of the Z! :tiphat:

Wash and wax today. First wax since i got it 2 weeks ago... Wouldnt surprise me if it was its fitst wax ever -_-

Im a huge fan of ICE products. Used the wash for yeeears on the eclipse and its shine its incredible. So i used the ICE liquid wax today on the Z. Its not bad, it suggest only letting it dry for 1 minute so that cut out a lot of normal drying time from other waxes. Overall i was impressed.

I'm coming to steal the gold off the clipse! Congrats on the z and welcome to the family!

Very Nice!! Keep them looking good!!:tup::tup:

Congrats on the Z. Looking forward to see what you have planned for it!

just bought 6k HID bulbs from JWMotoring... first mod.

6k bulbs came in. Easy install for the most part. Only trouble I ran into is i dropped one of the grey twist caps down into the bumper behind the fender lining. :shakes head:

Thanks tiger, here is a picture of the products I use. I really recommend them! The wash has a built in wax almost, it leaves the surface soo smooth. Ive used it on the Eclipse for years, and il be honest... its been about 2 years since i waxed the eclipse and its smoother than the Z lol :rofl2:

Nice List. Good Luck.

I see you plan on Berk Test Pipes. I have their CBE and plan on getting their HFC's this year. Really happy with the CBE. It sounds awesome under WOT, but without Rasp or Drone while DD. A Great CBE!! Check out the link below for more information.
