I changed out my map, dome, glove box, and license plate lights with the cool white leds. Then recently I put two 8" blue led sticks underneath the leg area in the front seats. The installations makes or breaks the lights. I hid all the wires and put the lights deep enough so you can't see them, just the glow.

Good job, how did you wire them in, do they only come on when the door is open/ dome is on or do you just have a switch that cuts them on and off

I just put fog lights in my car! So bright. I think I may have to change out my headlights so I have HIDs.

Nice dude! I didn't do any of the map lights or anything. I put one white LED on each of the back corners of the front seats. That's a little confusing. But it pretty much just lights up the rear footwells.

I installed new springs and struts Wednesday. Eibach Pro-Kits and Tokico blues (I was on a budget). It dropped it a little under 1.5"... about 1.3". I'm really digging the look. Took out a lot of that nasty wheel gap inherent in Eclipses. Gonna get an alignment Monday.

You'll probably need a camber kit because you won't be able to take enough camber out to get the toe right, and excessive toe is what kills tires fast.

+1 on the camber kit, though i have eibach springs too and i only needed a rear kit front was not needed (was on the outside of the spec)

post pics! idk if your getting rims in the future or not but wheel spacers are a good substitute to make them flush
