Default Ricey eclipse I saw today- just for laughs

I saw this today and had to take pics. LIke the chameleon paint? What about the orange/red painted calipers (and the brake dust cover ) Oh, don't forget the horrific camber problem, Oh, and the wing that weighs 29 pounds. And the......you get the picture.

yea, i think it was the camber problem that made me think someone couldnt put the wheels on properly when they chopped it, but the fact that its real makes it that much worse

Yeah, the sad thing is this is actually "clean rice" compared to others around here. I aslo saw like an 88 ratty civic with nothing but exhaust on it today. At least this guys paint isn't peeling or missing body pieces.

I think the guy has a lot of $$ in that one. it's clean and looks good for a ricer.... aside of that dam wing and taillights...

looking at how the bodykit doesnt have scrapes, i'd say the camber is from hydro's or bags.

Looks good for a ricer, that's what I was trying to say above too.

And I thought about it being on air, but I kinda tossed that out when I remember that most people here don't have that kind of $$. I'm thinking the work is just new and he hasn't had time to scrape it up.

To me it's a nice looking paint job. Toss the "picnic table" thing on the rear though. At least he doesn't have mega stickers all over it.

Wish I had a camera today when I was at the mall, I saw an Eclipse with a matte red and black paint job that had probably 100+ stickers covering every viewing angle except the roof.

i actually think it's kinda nice. not really my style, but it's not a bad looking car...except the wing is a bit big. i don't think there's any way that owner can drive that thing around. it's probably on some type of air suspension
