Hero Eclipse - Main Vehicle Used in Fast and Furious

This vehicle was originally owned by John Lapid. He brought the Eclipse to us to add a Lighting Green Neon to a clear tube that was in the roll cage. John offered the car to us for $24k, we later organized the sale of the Eclipse to George Barris, which we sold for $48k, John was supposed to give us a commission. There are many stories on what happened, but we know the truth.

First Race started at this Garage where Street Glow and Auto Indulgence decals were on display. How many Auto Indulgence logos did you see in the film ?

Just after jumping the car -NEON

Each vehicle that jumped the bridge, the side Street Glow neon tubes did not break

The Install

We were asked to complete 42 vehicles with Street Glow neon lights, within 7 days. I (Pierre Hoffmann) then said that I would need the warehouse over night when no one else was working to get them done in time. We got all the vehicles completed in 6 days then was asked to lighting up 5 Dodge Rams.. It was a lot of work, but looking back it was well worth it.

In this shot, you can see the woman in the car is a dummy, not a real stunt driver, since it was a convertible, they had to control the car off the jump by remote control

FF2 on Florida SET

We had this care for 4 months after Movie opening

We had this vehicle over 4 months helping the owner promoting in Magazines and shows, that is why a lot on photos you will see will have our Autoi.com or Auto Indulgence logo on it. Sad that when we sold the car to George Barris, John Lapid never gave us the credit or the finders fee. Just wish I purchased myself when I had the chance.
