New grill setup

So I decided to paint all that chrome like material that goes around the housing of the grill to a gloss black but not too dark.
Also paint the white (wicked white) as well,which is the same color has the car,and here is my beginning and finished product.....

Love it! I also have the wicked white and was planning on doing something similar. Did you use the plastidip method?

Again, it looks AWESOME!

I took out my grill and my friend who is a professional painter,works on Ferrari's,Lambo,GTS TT Vipers,n such painted my grill a dark gloss black and painted the chrome.

We sanded down the grey mitsubishi logo and painted the Mitsubishi Logo with the whicked white color code,37W,I believe is the code. N i got this two lil top things from Advance Auto Parts to cover the black and painted them as well cause I'm boosting my GTS but don't want that RRM CF middle thing.

Mex24x I also got a wicked white and I wanted to black out my bumper and get a red emblem. what side license plate mount did you get and why didn't you cover up or patch over the 2 holes where the license holder use to be? Also if I had gotten the side mount, did you have to remove the bumper to screw it on? or do you just screw the screws directly into the bumper? No bolt on the inside to secure it? Also I would have painted the mount wicked white =)

The owner and all the sales manager and service's writer's know me and my family and Mr.Gillmans' is a close friend of ours in my home city of San Antonio. They sell A LOT OF GSR EVO X AND SOMETIMES 9'S IF THEY COME IN FOR A TRADE. So I got a REALLY GOOD DEAL ON MY GTS LEATHER SEATS,SUB,ETC.

The sales who's a friend has well had just sold an EVO X GSR to a kid and he had EVO X side mount LP and didn't want it screwed into the bumper cause he didn't want holes. He sold it to me for 30 bucks and fits PERFECT. Ya,you just screw in 2 holes if you want u can screw the 3rd that's in the middle but I didn't want to screw 3 hole's lol NO BUMPER DISMOUNT NEEDED JUST STRAIGHT HOLDING THE PLATE STRAIGHT AND DRILLING HOLE'S IN YOUR FRONT BUMPER THAT WON'T BE SEEN HAS LONG HAS YOU HAVE THE SIDE MOUNT LP BACKGROUND.

WHAT MOUNT ARE YOU TALKING ABOUT?

Plus I'm getting a CF Ralliart "style hood" if not then just a hood off the ralliart since I plan to BOOST my GTS with the TURBO RRM SELL'S TUNED ALREAD FOR THE 2008-2010 LANCER GTS.

Look's like I want have to worry bout the CF hood fitting or buying my turbo.

My GTS got totaled by an 18 wheeler Saturday night around 2AM

Airbags deployed but I only felt the one that hit my legs under the dash board

I was going about 30mph but those 18 wheeler tire's are HUGE AND WILL DESTROY YOUR BUMPER LIKE BUTTER.

Sorry to hear that, at least you are okay right? Are you going to repair your car? If not, will you be parting out?

Most likely a total lost cause the steering wheel air bag deployed (which I didn't notice in till I stepped out of the car) and the air bag under the dash board,deployed,sprang my left ankle and bruised the front of my leg's and don't ask how but I had some scratches too.

AAA is taking forever,LIKE ALL INSURANCE COMPANY'S,to get there "techs" to go out and make sure it's a total lost.

I'm not too mad expect that I have a rental for a week n then I have to hurry and get a car cause once the insurance company says it's a lost they will be quick to take the rental away and lucky I bought GAP insurance for just like something like this so my car will be paid off and it's just like I'm back to square one....EVO X GSR this time though
