Talking New Member, New Car

Hello everybody! I have been creeping this forum for a while, and now that I have my new car I thought I would introduce myself. I'm the proud new owner of a 2010 Graphite Grey Lancer Ralliart
I haven't gotten to play with it yet, but the gf picked it up while I'm stuck at work. It went for some tint and 3M paint protection today, and getting some winter rubber tomorrow. Can't wait to take it for a rip!

Yeah you definitely got the fastest color!

Welcome to the club man. Hope you enjoy your GGRA! Should be a blast in the snow with some snowshoes on.

WOW, I would have taken the day off to take delivery.

Don't get too crazy with winter tires on it. They DO NOT handle like the summer rubber.

I would hate to see that beauty bent.

This is true. If you're curious on what GG looks like with a plasti-dipped front...

New member here as well.

Ordered a Mandarin Orange (that's rotor glow for you US folks) RA sportback yesterday! Delivery will be in 6 months (!) so that's a rather long wait...but then winter will be over at least. It's strange that over here it's not possible to spec the car at all, sunroof, recaros etc. are not available :-/

I plati Dipped my chrome nose ring and it wasnt to bad. 8000k HID are good, I have the 6000k on my jeep and i kinda like them better than 8000k. I wouldnt buy just the bulbs buy the whole kit its cheaper. I paid 130 with the flicker relay added to it.
