Here are my plasti-dipped center wheel caps. What do you think?

More to come. I finished painting my emblem on the front a put it back on, along with my white grill w/ mesh backing. I have a vortex generator on the way, an OEM OZ Rally spoiler on the way, new slotted rotors and pads too.

Updates and pics soon as I get my items.

So, I ordered an OZ Rally wing in my attempt to be different.
No Evo wing for me .
Anywho, I also got ATE front rotors and StopTech performance pads. Just waiting on my SpeedElement VG AND my tax return now.

Next on the list is finish my front lip grill, paint rear license plate panel, make and install DRL, make LED rear badge, fabricate side skirt lips and front lip/splitter, fabricate diffuser, Megan Racing Springs, KYB struts, UDP and Whiteline Rear Sway Bar.

I think I'm gonna update my sig.

You can kinda see the emblem I painted on the front. I used red plasti dip and the silver plasti dip metallizer.

im curious as to why the oz wing though.... i dont think its going to flow too well with the curves of the car

I just made the decision on impulse b/c i hadn't seen it done yet. Seems like everyone goes evo8 or stays with the stock wing and a few go wingless, but nobody tries OZ. Plus it's not permanent so if I don't like it, i can get rid of it. I am just inclined to step outside the box on just about everything.

the thing with that wing though... if you dont like it you'll be having a hole in the middle of your trunk that wont be covered up by any spoiler

I'm just gonna cut the bolt so I don't have to screw it in in the middle of the trunk.

interesting idea. i'm more partial to wingless but thats just me hopefully it turns out well for you

hope it fits since the oz trunk is flat and the RA is curved slightly...
also hope any remainders of that center bolt dont damage the paint on your trunk lid...(might wanna put something in between...im sure you planned on it right?..)
also hope it doesnt rattle going down the road since its not held down by the bolt in the center...

anyway hope it works, good job thinking out of the box...i like the flatter look of the OZ wing compared to the stocker...
i too got good news about my tax return a few weeks ago(double what i thoguht i was getting)...and then i got bad news about it...(delinquent student loan....they took half...)...so i ended up getting about what i expected...lol
unfortunately mopving in 2 weeks...so none of the $ will end up in the car....o well...maybe next year after its payed off...

the oz wing should have no issues bolting up since the evo wing is able to bolt to our cars (evo and older lancers share a trunk)

Yea, def gonna put something between the cut bolt and the paint.
My elbow grease on that car is NOT gonna be in vain...lol.

I was thinking about possible rattle too, but hopefully the spoiler won't flex much, its pretty rigid, but I'll see what happens and deal with it then.

And the IRS sucks! If you owe them money they'll take it any way, shape or form, but if they owe you money...don't hold your breath (blue in the face...lol)--->

Got a few things in the mail yesterday and did some dremel work...

Thanks SpeedElement for my vortex generator and BLOX shorty antenna. Also got my fan control module from mitsubishiparts.net and some LED position light from eBay.

I'm thinking about plasti dipping the VG and the rear license panel with white and metallizer.

Also, about to hit up the junkyard and see if I can find any useable items. Hopefully a 63mm throttle body. Went last week to one and didn't see squat! Actually I only saw about 10 vehicles in the whole yard. Going to the bigger location today.

So, I used the dremel to cut off and sand down the bolt on the middle column of the OZ spoiler. I wish you could have seen all the orange sparks flying. Made me feel like a kid doing something I wasn't supposed to be . Then I used plumbers epoxy (waterproof and cures in an hour) to cover the edge of the bolt. I'm going to put in on today. I'll have pics later.

Here are some pics...
