painting the silver trim

hey guys i had this idea on my mind for a while, would it be possible to paint that silver trim on the front of the ralliart to make it all black instead of a silver trim? kinda like the evo x if we were to state an example. if so , how much do you think its gonna run around to paint it? and how long?

This is funny. Evo guys add the chrome trim to their car so it is not all black!!

You can probably remove it and paint it yourself. An hour or two and $6 bucks.

if you paint the chrome trim black then your Ralliart would not look like an Evo X, it would look like a GTS with a black vinyl overlay...

Exactly -- wait for an aftermarket part, if not from Mitsubishi, then from somebody who will make it look better than black paint. I'm keeping my fingers crossed that at least some of the 2010 Ralliart models will come with black trim.

Thanks for that, Kidney.
They got some nice parts in there.
Some of those parts will work for the R/A.
E.G. The steering wheel and the dash kit.
Nice.
