Progress of my '12 Octane Blue GT
Hello again everyone, sorry for the inactivity! I come bearing more pictures.
I recently got the stock wheels painted at a local auto body place, which had a fantastic variety of colors and hues. Thinking that black would be to obvious and common, I decided to go with a warm grey of sorts. Not too reflective, but shiny enough to get a good range of values. I am very pleased with the way it turned out, I really like the way grey looks on the car. The front diamond badge has also been painted the same color as the wheels. I also did a little debadging on the rear and plasti-dipped the diamond for good measure. Enjoy-

possible to swap out that front bumper grill with the Mits emblem? I mean completely removing it and replacing it with maybe the DE grill? I find that plastic part behind the emblem is quite a turn off lol.
Agreed, those mods will come later. I'd like to swap the exhaust and buy a K&N typhoon air intake.
I'm down south a little in San Juan Capistrano. Maybe I'll see you around
WOW! I haven't posted in a while. In the time that has passed I have installed the K&N Cold Air Intake, had a custom muffler installed, and tinted the windows. I don't plan on doing a whole lot more, unless you guys have any suggestions. In the meantime, here's some photos

Honestly that is a good place to stop modding and enjoy it. Anything more and you'll most likely regret it in the long run. Maybe add a few things to the interior since that's where you spend most of your time.
