good luck fixing crankwalk . . . as a former 1g Tsi owner to any future 2g DSM'er.

How the hell can you see out of the massive blindspots on the car? I had test drove a regualr droptop, and I literally can't see effectively past the canvas.

As for valve cover, look at ebay for powered colored one . . .

Then, I stand corrected. Besides, it's a standard hazing joke from 1g guys to the 2g guys.

Nice find...I put my stock enikies from the evo on the eclipse also. Looks like its got a drop on the suspension, not over the top but just enough to cover the wheel gap. Car looks great...enjoy it .
