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.

Looks good so far. Id say your next steps should be plastidip the trunk button, tint, and get some smoked sidemarkers. All pretty easy cheap mods that will make the car look better.

Agreed, those mods will come later. I'd like to swap the exhaust and buy a K&N typhoon air intake.

Keep in mind if you change From GTS to RA

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.
