Thanks for the compliment guys and as far as answering the string of questions.
First off, No this is no gap between the bumper and the fender, I think the lighting gives it an illusion that it's there.
Secondly, the intercooler that's currently on their is a modified EVO intercooler, the precision intercooler that was originally on their didn't fit (the endtanks weren't going to work) so I'm deciding which intercooler I want to go with as soon as I put the standalone in.
Thrid, YES those are the infamous YELLOW headlights. Reason being is that originally I was going to smoke out the exterior of the headlights with this transparent paint, but I've decided just to buff them out and spary the rear taillights either hin a smoke color or all red.
The wheels I have are a staggered set but I don't think their Forte's, I bought them from a local speed shop and their called NZO's.
The fogslights, and sidemarkets go on when the car is wetsanded and buffed in 2 wks.
I'm from the Central Florida area, Melbourne/Palm Bay to be exact. There are 2 or 3 really cool guys around here with GTE's in their SC's, there's even a supposed 1jze master mechanic, he put the 1jze gte in his toyota cressida, the thing looks stock as hell but hauls.
OLT, I actually had my Eclipse painted estoril blue, Well most of it anyways, I'll load a pic of that up when I get home.
That is all.
I can try to hook you guys up with the same deal with the paint job, how much you ask, Well let's say it was about around a grand. So hit me up or IM me if you're interested. Thanks again for the comments guys!

that is a nice setup - love the color...it is different
the only thing (s) I would change would be the FMIC - perhaps one that fit in a little better (not sure if you can adjust it anymore than that, well doubt it) and while Iike the wheels, I think that since you have that kit, you need at least a 19" staggered wheel to "bring it out". Otherwise, good deal! Be safe down there man, we are feeling for you Floridians with the back-to-back hurry-kanes

looks sweet, I was just suggesting the Daytona Blue to a friend of mine who was looking for an eye catching color, good choice. Post up some more pics once you slap in the sidemarkers, fogs, and have it wetsanded. I'm sure after those little details are added the car will look even better
