I know you want to be different and stuff and that's cool, but I'm not feeling the two tone either.

Heh, agreed. Irk is the right term. Not too mean or too nice. Just slightly annoying...

Glad you like it though! Interesting paint for sure

im pretty sure those pics of the eclipse were just for body style reference. More of the bubble top cars like eclipses,talons, old 240s,s2ks, etc can pull it off. Just doesnt look right on the evo. If you post pictures of your evo with spray painted parts that are purple on a half reddish orange/half black body, you should expect some negative comments. The majority of us here are a little more refined and wouldnt do this to our cars. Just expect some bashing as these colors are not tasteful AT ALL. I agree with everyone else in saying you have a great start and a great opportunity to turn this around. Good luck with your choices and maybe after a few years your taste will change. As for being different, there are a lot of evos here that are very unique in their own ways without terrible paint schemes inside and out. Sorry to ramble. And congrats on getting a great vehicle.

oh a talon like this one that i own

or this 71 240z that i also own

maybe people with eclipse like those spray painted there parts but the right way is to have them powder coated..
See I think the riced out eclipse isn’t tasteful at all ether but that’s what you like so good for you.
As for majority of you guys on here being a little more refined all that says is that no one dears to be different and likes blending in and looking the same" no offence to anyone just saying."
If you hated the car soo.... much why would you even post up about it?
