allright guys, i just got a new Black 2006 Eclipse GT with the Rockford Fosgate System. I need help on what to upgrade on this car first. The first five things I would like to do to this car include a Vertical Door Kit, Rims, Graphics, Body Kit, and Nitrous Oxide Kit. I have 3 grand too spend so money is defintely an object. Any idea's or advice would be greatly appreciated. I know I will probably not be able to get all five now but if you could refer me too any sites or anything lower than the prices i post that would be AWESOME.


here is the link to the Body Kit which is only $755.00, is this ok?

prolly, but that's an unfair match-up. Don's not challenging you.


how much experience do you have driving RWD cars? and how extensive is your knowledge on forced induction/nitrous.
i'd definitely hold off on the nitrous, especially since it's ur first car.

i'd go ahead and buy the rims if you really want them, and just save the rest of your money for the time being.

LOL i know you can. That doesn't mean anything. If you can't then you don't deserve your car. I think the mirage is like the third slowest car on earth. I was saying I'm sorry cuz you just wasted $30K on a ugly girls car.

yeah most def. dude since your so good with cars and whatnot. yeah 260ft-lb torque and 263 horses are nothing. i know its not the fastest because i know specs arent everything, but trust me its pretty damn fast.

Ok I'm not gonna argue with you. Since you own the fastest stock eclipse ever made. Just do visual mods. when you have $10K to drop into the engine to make it run 12's, then mess with the engine.

I hate it when people mess up my name but oh well I'm gonna hang myself now cuz i got "punked out" by a kid with a girls car. Dude you wanted advice, you got advice instead of buying that POS girls car not worthy of the name eclipse you could've got something worth driving like a used g35, 350z, celica, tc, mustang, and even a 2000 corvette. You don't care about speed but yet you want Nitrous? WTF is that about? You're a funny kid.

yeah the new eclipse' never got good reviews i like the body but i hear their just big piecse of junk with a v-6 you know after the 2g the eclipse name just went down hill
and yeah you wouldn't be able to run nos to a stock engine you'd blow it up
look into gettin a twin turbo kit from greddy or somethin
who gives a shit what it looks like cuz when i roll up to you with the gs-t you'll be like oh mines pretty and i'll be like wow mines faster and better looking
and then destroy you on the highway
i bet your eclipse is automatic too.......

$3k isn't going to get you very far. Maybe a body kit with a mediocre paint job.

Don't bother building it for speed. It's just an overweight chick car with a crummy V6. There's a reason that Ralliart 4th gen. at SEMA had a 4g63 swapped in.

Just get some tasteful wheels and some nice tires.

Either way, you'll look like a ricer in my eyes but it's your car. Good luck.
