1. Paint sealant
2. Tint and Clear Bra
3. Mud flaps
4. ETS V2 Quiet

Then I'll prob chill for a few months and consider intake and tune.

After that call it a day (it's a DD) though something tells me it's hard to stop modding. Reminds me of those junior high obsessions with RC cars and always hopping them up w new ****...

Piano black dash and soft door inserts

Some more pics which I hope will be helpful for folks in the market.

Soft door inserts. I think previously they were mouse fur but may be wrong.




Piano black dash inserts. I think previously were a carbon fiber look?




Rear parking sensors


This is the antenna. I had heard so much about the RC car look on the forums I was almost disappointed that these looked quite normal.



This is a shot of those vents behind the front wheels. I'm not a huge fan but do find the MG color seems to blend ok with it.



On one of my first errands to the supermarket. couldn't help but take a shot.



Front shot which I think shows how the MG color feels a bit more aggressive (and less stealthy) than the GG. It has this sort of angry robot feel to it similar to the AS I believe.

i like the interior. parking sensor is ok but they should put a back up camera... do u have a rain sensor wiper as well? MG looks like AS in the morning and GG at night.

Ideally, I wish they had parking sensors/cameras in back and front as well (I live in a townhome with some ridiculously tight parking areas).

Yes, I have the rain sensor wiper. Seems to work pretty good. From an electrinics pov, I am most fond of the bluetooth audio (for pandora and rhapsody).

Totally agree on MG being a AS by day and GG by night color. Looks very different depending on the lighting of the moment.

the back-up sensors are always nice. seems to clutter the rear bumper a tad more in certain angles though. Probably most likely the lighting angles.

This image you took almost makes the wheels have a bronze hue to it.

Agree on the rear end clutter in general. I find all the badging on the back to be like reading a brochure. I will be debadging everything but the Mitsu emblem which i find adds just enough balance to the back (i find 100% debadged backs to seem a bit incomplete looking for some reason).

AS for the wheels, that's a good point. never noticed that. could be iphone camera distortion...

My current plan is to delete all but the Mitsu emblem. I feel without it the center of the trunk looks a bit bare. Who knows, I might do some photoshop prototyping before making the final call.

Looks amazing! I like that interior, but does it have that mitsu cheap plasticy feel? I kinda like the clean trunk look. At first when I got my duckbill trunk I was kinda sad about it being totally emblem-less, but i've begun to like it!
