I'm planning to put some of these fender accents on my eclipse. Just for the looks obviously. But I was wondering what everyone thinks about the way it will look with the accents. http://www.donmar.com/chrome/PHV-OvlChrL.jpg

They're stick on, so no drilling.

Oh really...? I thought it looked cool. Why do you think so negatively of it?

Thanks for your opinions guys. It's been really helpful. But I just hope everyone knows that I'm not doing it to fool anyone into thinking I have a aston martin or anything hahaha. I just thought it would look nice on my car, very simple reason. I thought rather than getting an expensive body kit, or lambo doors(which I'm not so fond of), this is an easy/cheap thing that I could do to make it look a little neat and eye catchy. And I was wondering if anyone has ever done this, or seen another eclipse with it. And why would it be fine on a RS/GS but bad on a GSX/GST? They all look alike don't they? Just a curious question. And thanks everyone for contributing helpful opinions. I really appreciated it.

Basically that would be an eye sore on the Eclipse.

the reason why it'd be better to do on a gs or rs is cause it's near impossible to make those things fast unless you dump an unreasonable amount of money into them, so all you can really do that would be worth it is make it look nice... a gst or gsx your money would be much better spent on performance upgrades, cause you can make those things quick fast... pun intended
