Before and after shots... WARNING: TOPLESS pics!
Day I got it home and then a fresh wash and wax with the 'top' off . If you have a keen eye, you might notice a few more subtle differences.

Thanks... You're close. I sanded and polished the regular steel exhaust exit over and over and over. Don't too much care for chrome tips, and the upkeep is easy once it's done. Good eye.

Yup, front bugshield. Old one was HUGE and damaged, so I got an Auto Ventshield.

The prize you get.... hmmm.... You get to go to sleep tonight knowing you have a good eye for detail. Sleep easy, friend.

One more thing left...

Came with the truck when I got it... Is it not a normal bumper? I didn't think anything of it.

Mine doesn't have the open areas in the front. Looks like I should go junkyard hopping. I want one! LOL Looks alot beefier than my stock one.

Cheers,

Plus, it's worth 20HP due to the increased airflow over the radiator, and with the increased airflow to the front brake rotors, that's better braking!

Maybe it's an Eddie Bauer thing?

Yea, the EB trucks came with super-cool bumper . I wish I had one too. Mine has a couple of dings on it.

After leveling it, did you have to re-align the front? It looks SO frickin sweet. What kind of wax did you use? Reminds me...I havent washed my truck in umm...umm ??? (month?)

Are you gonna leave the top off permanently?

Mines not an EB edition, Its a conversion, made with RIVA. on the tailgate, seats, wood grain inside the truck and rear side quarter pannels it says Eclipse Sport. Dont know if that makes a difference or not, hell i dont know whats so special or if there is any difference about a conversion package compared to a regular truck...lol
