Auto Exe. Finally Done***with pics of rear as requested***
Well after 2 months of parts being on back order etc. the kit is on and almost totally done. Still have a little touching up to do. We managed to retain the factory crash bar (for those who were questioning it) by trimming 1.5" of the kit from behind so it would clear. The bar will have to be painted black. Didn't have enough time to paint it b/c we had to leave for Nopi Nationals (took 2nd place in Mild class BTW). Modified Mag stopped by the booth and shot some pics and there should be a few pics in Super Street from the SS Tour as well.
Big thanks to Glenn at Motegi Racing for the rims, Matt and crew with BF Goodrich for new tires for the Eclipse (and the Mazda hint hint)and for getting them mounted up between drifting practice, Candi and Cam at Pettit Racing for the rotor and housing to prop the hood, Creative Classics for the body work and getting the car back together, Huff and all the people at Vivid Racing for helping get the kit here in one piece. You guys rock!

Yes it is. It's been in the shop for almost 2 months getting fixed and kitted.
Just got back from NOPI Nationals, those were taken in the Motegi Booth.

Here are some much better pics to see the lines of the car. It is so hard to take good ones at shows. Sorry to be a picture *****!

beautiful looking car...Since I'm not a big fan of aftermarket spoilers or wings, I love that with this kit one is not needed. Some other aftermarket kits look "unfinished" without a rear spoiler/wing. Great job.

From certain angles, the front bumper looks like crap. I like this picture the most. 
Pictures don't do this thing justice. You know I'd drop my pants if I saw your car in person.

Thanks guys! We are really happy with it. The first thing I thought when we were buying the car is that I wanted to get rid of the plastic on the back and widen the sharp 'nose' appearance on the front. The AutoExe is perfect for what I had in mind. Hmmm...perfect for a big front mount!
Good thing about the kit - regardless of people's opinions on the looks, all AutoExe body kits are areodynamic! But I still love the looks.
