    most of these pieces wer painted red (and kinda runny) so i think this is better cause it doesnt stand out so much!

    i also have a red out kit for my tail lights that i will be putting on (hopefully) soon! and i am getting my valve cover powder coated as we speak, it should be back to me tues. or wed. i have stuff i am/planning on doing, so i will definately keep u updated!

    i hope u like my non-subie! lol

    what do u think?

    Blue gauges and red interior? Did I miss something here?

    a bit off topic, but what model talon is that and what power mods do you have?

    Haha, I was thinking the same thing. Also, those gauges remind me of early 90's video games.

    Going by the gauge cluster, it is a TSi. It has a boost gauge under the tach. Whether it is FWD or AWD is unclear. I had a buddy with a TSi AWD and that same interior. I have only seen red interior in the Maroon/Burgundy color cars. Mine came with the Black Leather option. (just as rare as the red)

    ^^yeah, I seen the booooost gauge, but was wondering about the awd vs front.

    I loved my 92 eclipse, that sucka was fast for a young punk like me. I was lucky enough to live in Duluth at the time and have Archer Brothers Racing(DSM freaks!:biggthumpup: ) work on my car. I have to laugh though, I didn't know crap about tuning back then and just threw money at the car to make it faster....thankfully they never steered me wrong.

    eagle talon guy...you have a great project going...keep it up!

    Home Depot has black metric cap screws (bolts). Easier, probably cheaper, and will definately hold up better.

    I am guessing that it is high temp thermoplastic, some plastics can withstand high high temps, that vinyl has a super low melting point
