- rexpeed side skirt extenders - i think they'll compliment ur wheels and lip
- if you got $$ to blow get a jdm bumper buuut ur bumper looks hott

I would do the jdm IX rear, JDM Tails or IX Tails (because of the black), bake apart the headlights and paint the chrome black, leave the orange....possible lose the lip, or do a lip that's less flashy, check out rexpeed.com for a wide variety of subtle yet sick lips...

Also, cf oil coolers (the ducts that go into the front bumper) would look nasty, along with the mitsubishi emblem painted black.\

Engine wise, you have a ton of choices. Smaller turbo, quick spool 350awhp...big turbo, slower spool, 450awhp, etc...

Car looks sick as it is now though. The wheels are awesome, and the black on black looks pretty evil. Blacked out headlights and JDM IX Tails, with the JDM IX rear would look teh sex.

+1

i know you have jdm headlights, but I would have gotten the JDM MR headlights.

I like the tires though, fat tires look good.

I'd say +1 to blacking out the headlights and maybe also painting over the chrome mitsu symbol (don't know how you'd do that though). Maybe get a little spice from a cf hood?

Other than that, power power power.

I would black out the headilights, remove the spoiler, remove the front lip, and go with a JDM IX rear bumper if it were my car. Oh and I would also tint the windows 35% and remove the mitsu badge on the trunk lid.

I personally think if you're going with JDM 8 rear then keep it JDM 8 looking. I hate when people run JDM IX rears with 8 front bumpers. Some JDM Evo 8 MR heads and tails would do your car justice. Besides that the car looks great. I would put a varis diffuser on that rear bumper. They look so SICK with them on. Besides that it is a great looking setup good luck man.

doesnt look too bad bro, I just dont care for that front lip at all - WAY too much. If you are going to stick with the stock front bumper, I'd go with a DoLuck or something but that is just me. The tires do look sick, not bad at all - I love RPF1's, and the black on black is hot too. Also a very nice touch going with the "other" JDM rear, I havent seen many of those at all on here, and NEVER seen one in person, so I think thats hot. Other than that, I'd lose the rear Mits emblem, DEFINITELY lose the antenna, tint the windows and maybe some front ducts.

Nice ride bro
