Inside is clean. 
Outside not so clean
Looks to ricey on the outside. The Lambo doors ruin the cars appeal.
I don't think they even put "Lambo" doors on mercielagos anymore....
put ur front plate in ur window or something.
Also, try and get an actual paint match for your rear bumper. Although I think you should remove it and go back to the stocker Rear bumper.
Just my stupid 0.02 though

an evo with a ton of mods would outperform most, if not all bmw's. this guy wants an evo. instead of getting one, he mods his eclipse, spends a fair amount of money and is just breaking into the 14's. my point is, why not save the mod money spent on the eclipse, sell the car, get an evo and be in the 13's or 12's? i thought that was fairly easy to understand.

Most people buy the car they can afford at the time then mod it if they can or even want to. Modding can be a long process as you well know. If he likes the car and wants to mod it he should do it. No matter how this site started, this is the "other car" section, and he has an "other car" so to speak.
I don't think it looks bad at all. But, if it were mine, I would get a solid color paint job over the entire thing and maybe put a few different color accents here and there. But it's not mine, so I'm glad you're doing what you want to with it.
Enjoy,
James

What's fairly hard to understand is that by your logic, save the money and you'd be able to buy a something even nicer than an evo. An Evo is the fastest car for the money you say? I'll point out you can buy an old american muscle car for $1000 and with a few grand in the engine and a shot of nitrous you'd be into the 10's. Granted it would still be a POS, but next to what you could spend on an Evo compared to a newer car, the Evo still winds up being a Mitsubishi without a warranty.

Actually this site started as a lancer site, it was only changed to have evos when they came to the US. Overall I think the car is pretty nice but I agree with what some people have said regarding the outside, personally I would have gone for a cleaner, more sleeperish look (lip kit, etc). Are you having grip problems at the track?

I really don't like the body kit. It just doesn't flow very well with the car .. Interior is over the top as well . I know every1 loves carbon fiber, but at some point you have to stop..
Also Lambo doors .. ehhh hate them, even on Lambo cars ..
As long as you are happy with it that is all that matters.

wow make a ****en new thread if you want to argue about what forums came first its liek the chicken or the egg hmm lancerforums or evo forums ohwell its here now so stop damn sorry to be a jerk about that but damn....
as for the car paint code is the same as when i mixed it. not trying to be an *** but seriously read and you can see what im changing on my car...
rear bumper adding Shine street lip kit, new custom paint job adding side skirts redoing audio layout new rims. and some other things that may come to change also looking to get new interior seats.
actually the place i work at is a car restoration shop and i see these cars all the time i have looked into a nice car but right now i would need about 20k to do it 10k for a nice camaro not a #'s matching but a decent car may need new hood some body work or something you know and then 10k for engine interior paint and so on.
the car i bought with my own money i only had a certain amount i still had to pa for school and this is 1 car i always wanted yes i wish i could of gotten an evo but i couldnt afford it tear
as for the track i had perfect traction and every car i raced i tree'd them bad but i sitll lost becuase most were liek 10-12 sec cars mines nto that fast the fastest my car is gonna eb is about 13sec or so thats good enough for me
when i jump in the real race car thats 7 sec car at 180mph so when i get to drive that just on motor since im not ready for full out 100ft wheelie and going that fast haha i would **** myself plus i dont have that kinda money to fix it if i broke it lmao. i think i hit all the points if not ohwell deal wit hit
