Mitsubishi Eclipse 2006

[Defectiv]

My second project, after the Kia i did before.

Well, this one took me quite some time, mostly because i just couldn't be satisfied with it. Still am not satisfied fully, but i don't feel like this one anymore, maybe i'll retry the parts i don't like again on a later date. For now it is done.
Biggest point of irritation, the rear wing... This is the fourth one i drew for it but just can't seem to get a wing that fits perfectly... Skirts are a point i dislike too... Tried a vented hood, but decided it didn't work, made the car too busy.

Well, here it is :)

Brushed everything basically, no outside material.
Wheels are basically the originals, but i enlarged them, didnt just resize them as the heart of the wheel is still identical in size to the originals, resized the edge and remade the spokes from scratch to make them line up again.

Overall, pretty pleased though, but not satisfied.

Looks better as the original though, in my eyes ;)

Real good work mate, i really like it. A very good chop :p

[illusionest]

pic is tooooo big
after ur 'brush' it looks virtual and smooth compare to the original pic which is all filled with noise and stuff
resize and then chop
or resize After chop
:p
and the edges along hte side u brushed, is a bit rough

simple, but nice work

[Defectiv]

K, thanks for the comment :)
I'll try that out tomorrow. Resize, see if the noise/clean is more balanced and fix it if it's not, good point :)

Which side do you mean by the way, under the skirt or?

[neodymiumex]

Wow. I really like that. I'd have to say thats one of the better chops I've seen. Good work.

[RazaBlade]

[Manik]

[Esperante]

Nice work. Very clean. I hope to see more of your work. :)

[Spastik_Roach]

Really gotta credit you on the fitting on those wheels, they look stock! Great chop.

[Defectiv]

this part :p
Hmm, thanks, missed that, it's a bit too fat there indeed.
I changed that part in the last minutes (it ran through to the back wheel arch before, but that didn't look right and had been bugging me since the beginning).

Some things to fix then :)

[85RX7]

This isn't Illu's chop. :)



lol yah
this aint my chop

Haha......i'm such an idiot sometimes :rolleyes:

I was looking at another 1 of illus chops and was still in that mindset. Sorry Defectiv

[Digitor]

Holy cow! That's awesome! :cool: :D :D :D
I love the side vent and what you did to the mags.
If only i was this good... :mad:

[Defectiv]

Ok, did some updating on this car, much more pleased with it now :)

Last changes:
New rear wing (the 5th), this one integrates into the body a lot better
New mirrors
Cleared up headlights
Cleaned doorhandles and slighly changed side air intakes top part to make it run more smooth.

And ofcourse i also fixed several other minor issues.

Tried another hood vent once more and once more i wasn't happy with it, it just messes up the look of the car. Tried em big, small, multiple little ribs, none of them actually added something good to the car.

It's done for me now, time to look for another car to mod :)
