Whitewater RX8 + Eclipse

I finally took some updated pics of my 8 after I washed+waxed it with NXT. I've installed clear corners and stealth amber turn signal bulbs (no more orange YES!) and I'm very pleased with the results. Hope you guys enjoy the pics!

I also decided to snap some photos of my sisters eclipse with 20 inch chrome spinners (it was her insane idea not mine). I'm not sure what to say about this car so I'll let you guys share your opinions instead.

Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year!!!


First up is the 2001 Mitsubishi Eclipse.

If she wants spinners, the least she could do is put them on a truck

Good idea pawning off that spinner decision on your sister. Tacky. Everytime I see a car with spinner rims, I just want to shake them like I was a British nanny.

What's your problem? Spinners don't belong on cars.

I'm with Jason on this one. Those spinners look really tacky. Spinners only look good on Escalades and Denalis. Even then, personally, I think they've lost their novelty.

I'm also not a fan at all of Eclipses. Is it just me or has Mitsubishi gotten really, really lazy?? I don't think they've ever made any drastic body design changes to the Eclipse. They look the same year after year after year.

Looks good. Nice clear sidemarkers and chrome turn signals.

Why? Why don't you put the spinners on your escalade in the background with the picture of the rx8?

1st off--those aren't real spinners--they are just knockoffs (adapters) 2nd Spinners should only go on trucks/suvs; 3rd they have lost their novelty. The latest craze is painted rims--or inverse spinners--where the outer part stays still.

spinners are ghetto. tell your sis she is whack and get some reasonable 19s on it. Or better yet, sell the Eclipse.

wait wait wait what drerx8? Those are real spinners. I would rip them off the car if they were those fake knockoffs that are for sale at kragen's auto parts.

The rx8 is around the same height as the eclipse (although im not sure, havent really compared the two)

Konig--those aren't Davins--those are knockoffs. You can tell because the spinner is not flush with the lip of the rim, also Davins are $7K and up--hopefully noone would put that much on car that is worth less than $25,000.
