Pretty sure it was only a few months after I bought yours seats too after searching a tan set for years! But your car looks awesome! Even has the tonneau cover Only thing yours is missing would be the AWD swap '15 VW GTI Autobahn '10 Mitsubishi EVO GSR - SOLD '97 Eclipse Spyder - RIP. Oct 1/11

I would do a AWD swap except this is my street car, she spends most of her time cruzing and not so much at the track, the next project (vehicle is still undecided) will be a dedicated track car. Do you still have spyder in your possession?

They gave me an offer to keep the car, with a rebuilt title that was a lot less.. but probably enough to still cover the repairs. There was also no guarantee that they'd insure the car again. Sucks! but I'll have a 2g GSX in my parking spot very soon '15 VW GTI Autobahn '10 Mitsubishi EVO GSR - SOLD '97 Eclipse Spyder - RIP. Oct 1/11

Terry S OP Insane Member Joined: Jun 2011 Posts: 2,342 Canada	LOL, I actually just removed the low rise spoiler for a much cleaner 'wingless' look. I know my car couldn't possibly be the 'dopest' but I wanted a thread caption to draw people in. I'm new to this forum but by no means new to DSM's so I know there are some high horsepower AWD swaps built to smash the competition in a drop top form. although I guarantee there are some mods I have done that exist on NO other spyder Ive ever seen or read about.

I and obviously some of the DSM community know that this is not the dopest..lol and I suppose my efforts worked cuz I'm getting some (mostly positive) feedback. This car was imported for me from Florida in completely OEM/stock form, I'm the first owner here in Canada and have been wrenching on it for more than 4 years.
